The moment he is alone in the elevator with Cleo, Shun's expression snaps back to its usual scowl.

Shun: What do you mean? My capacity for acting was always on display. For instance, during our earlier rehearsals, I was using it to convince you that I couldn't act. Quite successfully, if I say so myself.

Vincent: <First off, I want to make it clear that I don't think I was even meant to exist. My father couldn't have charmed a vixen with chloroform and rope, let alone his nonexistent force of character, and I was raised an only child by a single parent. Add those facts together, and I think I was an accidental birth, the result of a careless one night stand or some such.>

Shun: Thank you. In return, I must compliment the excellent work you did in playing the role of heiress to an empire of organised crime. It was remarkably convincing.

He delivers this all in his usual deadpan tone of voice.

Vincent: <That's the problem.>

(He sighs.)

Vincent: <He always considered me less than a Pokémon. The disgrace. The problem. The blight of his life. He only kept me around because I was a vent for his psychotic tendencies, there to be abused mercilessly.>

(Another sigh.)

Vincent: <Then, one day - I couldn't possibly tell you when, or why - my father, a Sylveon, found Xerneas. By that point, I was already an Umbreon, so... that's the issue. The way this personmon described your father made him sound just like mine - the religious fanaticism, the psychotic ranting, the complete lack of personal care... it hit close to home.>

For a moment, a faint trace of worry is visible beneath Shun's scowl, but it vanishes quickly as he shakes his head.

Shun: ...I'm not an idiot. I know he knows I have ulterior reasons for being here, and that only your influence convinced him not to take action against me. So I suppose I must thank you for that as well.

Cleo: Let me see that cap of yours.

Cleo swipes the hat from Shun's head and examines the interior.

Cleo: Let's see 'ere. Not a trace of gold, silver or aluminium lining - heck, not a smidge of obscuric silk.

Cleo places the hat back on Shun's head haphazardly.

Cleo: Yeah, ain't no way Khalu doesn't not only know your motive here, but also your actual entire backstory and who your working for~

-*DING*-

The elevator door opens as Cleo strolls out of the elevator shaft with a smirk on her face.

Cleo: Just be thankful Khalu not only admires your skills, but that he sees you as a non-threat. Plus your links to me make you untouchable~ So long as you play nice with me~

(If Cassie had just kicked a thousand Fennekin kits simultaneously with a giant titanium boot, the look of horror she'd get would seem positively tame compared to Vincent's current aghast stare.)

A shadow falls over the Altaria. A Braviary-shaped shadow.

<???: Citizen Altaria, known commonly as Salamence?>

Said Braviary has a distinguished, serious air. He is accompanied by a Hawlucha and a Talonflame.
