A large, one floor building sits in the non-guild territories. It is usually lit up with lanterns outside that cast a golden glow across the woods surrounding it.
A sign swings above the door, rocked gently by the breeze.
'Maison de Sin', it reads in delicate cursive. Beneath the words in even smaller print is a warning.
'Laissez vos conneries à l'extérieur'
[Leave your bullshit outside.]
Stepping pass the large, ebony, wooden doors you enter what appears to be a lounge of sorts with various couches all of a dark red color. A bar is off to your left, the bartender is probably in the back as you can't see anyone right now.
This place serves food and drinks it looks like, if the girls wandering about in maid outfits are anything to go by...

((*Throws Shawn*))  JavsJavs laid curled up on a couch, avoiding any light source possible in order to keep his headache under control. His head rested on the lap of another Gardevoir, an obvious worker due to her dress attire. Behind them stood a Roserade, leaning her weight lazily on the back of the couch with her attention on a series of thin papers within her grasp. Short, frail vines extending from her rosed hands that worked as fingers of sorts carefully, though quickly skimmed through them. The trio had been mostly silent and the day was slow. That might have been why the male Gardevoir was even here.
“How come I hardly see him?” The Gardevoir glanced back at the Roserade, who made no attempt to look back. “Who? Aire’s dog?” “I guess.” The Roserade shrugged her shoulders, hardly interested in the subject at hand. Not like she was the first to ask. “Guess you haven’t been here long. He comes and goes, but he’s normally with Aire herself.” She glanced up for but a second upon saying that before turning her attention down again. Needless to say, if one was around, the other was likely lurking or at least close. “The girls bug him too. I admit he’s cute though.” “Ah…” The Gardevoir looked back down at the calm male. He looked quite peaceful, but it was overall normal for him.
The conversation went by rather easily. Too easily. Upon closer inspection of the lower eared Gardevoir, Javs was passed out and likely had been for some time. What little could be seen of his face through his hair had the slightest red tint… Psychics never did handle alcohol well and he now lay useless, recovering. He wasn’t much of a drinker anyway.
The Gardevoir he unknowingly rested on braided his finned, silver hair in mild boredom. Even in his sleep they bothered him. He made the slightest twitch and both females jumped, going completely still for a few seconds as they stared at him, holding their breath before relaxing and sighing in relief when they felt assured he wasn’t actually waking up. Waking up like this would likely result in them getting scolded.

 Aire
"Out."
The single word was accompanied by the faintest muffle of a dimension rip that signified a skilled teleport.
Neither the Gardevoir or Roserade had noticed Aire's entrance until the older female had spoken and at the sound of her voice the two jumped in startled bewilderment before making a hasty retreat of the office.
Alone now, Aire's immediate response to the sleeping male before her was to raise one foot to the back of the couch and with an impressive amount of strength for a Psychic her age, send said couch slamming back onto the floor, upturned and surely causing it's occupant to topple onto the wooden floorboards.
"Get up. We need to talk." Her voice was steady but each word was spoken in a bitter hiss.

JavsHe remained unresponsive to Aire's arrival. When his head fell from under the female's lap onto the couch itself, he became slightly aware. He wasn't quite there though. As things went quiet, naturally, he blew it off. At least until the couch started moving. He was out of it, but he knew he wasn't going crazy.
Javs' eyes opened. He prepped himself for the fall, though he didn't move in the slightest. He merely made himself aware of the situation. He landed with a grunt and did as much as sit back on his legs upon getting up. Javs' eyes slowly focused and his headache hardly improved-- and what the ******** happened to his hair?
"Did something happen?" He glared back at her over his shoulder as his fingers untangled the section of hair. His tone was far more passive than his expression. His eyes motioned elsewhere for a moment as what happened prior to falling asleep slowly came back to mind. They turned to Aire right after. This wasn't just 'something happened', that look meant more than that.

Aire
"I told you not to get involved. That I would handle it." Her voice held the underlying tone of a threat. Without shifting her gaze from the Gardevoir sitting on the floor she stepped around the couch until she was a few feet away where she could tower over the smaller Psychic.
"Stay away from the guilds, Javs. I'm warning you. It won't end well for you." While her voice remained threatening it held a small semblance of fear, as though the threat was not coming from her but somewhere else.
With nothing else to say on the matter Aire turned to her desk, idly eyeing the paperwork there that had been nearly finished before she chased Rose from the room.
"...I can handle this alone." She added as an afterthough, voice barely breaking a whisper. The female sat down before lacing her fingers together on top of the desk in silence.

JavsJavs' eyes followed her closely as she moved. He remained silent on the ground before sighing and resting his head against the overturned couch. His left ear made a steady flick upwards whilst the other remained down lazily as he listened.
"Why yes, you're handling it quite well." He finally spoke. His left ear twitching again as she trailed off into a whisper. He picked it up, but hardly had the energy to understand it.
Why-- or better yet, how did she always find out about things he didn't even want to be involved in to begin with? It's not his fault that Froslass came along.
"I saved a Flareon." He chirped randomly. It was half true. "Now where were you when that carrier showed up? If I recall, this is your job." His eyes opened slowly and trailed over to Aire at her desk. His attention only remained there for a moment before his head lowered and his eyes closed once more. 'Stay away from the guilds'. She didn't want him remotely near the guilds-- it wasn't the situation itself. Why though? Thoughts processed slowly in his condition and thinking made his head hurt more.

Aire
Aire stood with a grimace at the accusation. "I had things to attend to! It's none of your business!" She snapped, eyes brimming with angry tears.
She wasn't an emotional person by nature, she was very guarded, very private. That such a simple statement caused such a violent reaction in her only fueled the anger that was steadily building to a breaking point.
She slammed her hands down on the desk then.
"GET OUT." The Gardevoir hissed, keeping her head lowered so that her eyes were not visible, though the steady 'plip' of droplets on the wooden table top would just as easily give her away.

JavsJavs' eyes remained shut. There was no response to her outburst, but there was a slight twitch at her order for him to leave. Regardless, he'd do just that as always.
"You're falling apart." He sighed. Naturally he wanted to look over but he instead teleported out. He'd go sleep this off elsewhere.

Aire
Aire raised a hand to her head, scratching at the bandage bound around it with a scowl. She would have tried taking it off had Thorn not been in the room. The Roserade had 'tsked' and whined at her until she'd compromised. No hospital, but she had to have it bandaged at least.
Sleeping was also a no-no.
'You might have a concussion!' The Flower Pokemon had said and Aire had submitted if only to shut her up.
She was regretting that now. Oh, so regretting it.
Her head was pounding, she resisted the impulse to shut her eyes.
"Turn off the light."
"No, you'll fall asleep."
"Turn it off, it's hurting my eyes."
Thorn groaned, a flowery arm waving in frustration as she hit the lights and the room mellowed into a calm darkness.
"Don't fall asleep."
"I won't."
"You are, you totally are."
"Shut up, get out."
Thorn complied with a small growl and stomped out, muttering to herself in annoyance. Aire was, if anything, a stubborn woman and merciless boss.
Once alone the female Gardevoir pulled her legs up onto the couch she was laying across and buried her face in the crook of her folded arms.

 JavsJavs waited patiently outside of the room. He had only heard a little of the so to call conversation and he clearly looked bothered with both the Roserade and Aire.
Aire's behavior was to be expected. You also just say whatever and walk away.
His eyes followed Thorn for a moment before reeling toward the door. He counted to three before taking a deep breath and standing. Of course, what he was going to do was obvious despite Aire's wishes. He still hesitated though. Thankfully, he didn't have to take the full walk to the door... it did little to ease his mind.
He took a full two steps forward before gapping into the room. It was silent unlike his rather distorted teleport, giving her one less reason to possibly kill him.
The darkness of the room was relieving though it did nothing for his own aching. All the Gardevoir did at first was sit in a chair and stare at the female for a moment, replaying what'd happened. He wasn't sure how to start this conversation. Javs expected the response to be him getting told off regardless. "Well. It's good to know you've woken up in decent condition. I was honestly worried for a moment." And that was that. He leaned back in the chair, resting his elbow against the chair's arm and promptly rested his head against his hand, He simply watched and waited now.

Aire
"I'll live." Was the only response Javs would get. Aire didn't even lift her head to acknowledge him aside from the faintest movement from her ears, though that was mostly at shock that he had walked somewhere.
He usually teleported or hovered. He rarely walked.
The older Gardevoir kept her head ducked in the fold of her arms, despite the soothing darkness her head was still pounding though less from pain and more from the thoughts that began to fill her head to the point of agony.
She hated all this, being involved with the guilds was one thing but her presence was solely on a subject she wasn't sure how to handle. Namely her son.
Everything was so confusing now, she felt oddly overwhelmed. It wasn't something she was use to feeling and it bubbled up before she could place a lid over it.
Dissolving into tears, she still refused to lift her head and silently reached out an arm to grab the hem of his dress.
Nothing else, just holding onto the fabric with one hand and holding herself together with the other.

JavsJavs smiled at her reply. Yeah, she was fine. "Good to know. At least. . ." His voiced faded out in favor of his ears promptly twitching at the sound of Aire beginning to cry. He honestly didn't know what to say. Did he say anything at all? Emotional help wasn't his thing. Aire being emotional was... strange, putting it simply. Javs was lost in thought for but seconds until Aire suddenly clasped onto his dress. He didn't even notice her motion toward him in the darkness. The male's ears dropped. He wasn't uncomfortable or awkward, he just... felt horrible.
"Aire..." He sighed as he straightened his posture from his slouch and promptly held onto her hand. "This will end sooner or later, I'm sure. When it's all over, we can go back to the way things were." It was the only real comfort there was. It was true. The guild ruined it all. They never should have shown up. Aire would still be decent, to say the least.
Overall, this was better than what it had been lately. Maybe. He felt so, at least. He really thought Aire would just... vanish completely and that was it.

Aire
Sitting up now, the older Psychic wiped frantically at her face in annoyance. The moment had passed and she gave a brief nod to his comment as though it didn't matter.
It did though, it meant a lot. They just needed to get these guild matters out of the way. Save the damn world and move on.
Her face contorted back to it's usual frown, but she did not relinquish her grip on his hand for a second.
"I made a horrible mistake. No doubt the guilds will not want my help any longer..."
So, she was free. In a sense. There was still the matter of Alfred, and as much as she didn't want to there was an obligation to fulfill.
"You'll stay with the guild for now. Keep me informed."
He seemed to get along there just fine. He had...not sure friends was the right word here, but he made aquaintances with some Pokemon.
He'd seemd close to that Pikachu as well as the Dragonaire.
Javs probably wouldn't mind staying there for now.
"You can go now if you like." She stated, letting his hand go finally, though with some hesitation. Her words were stated like a suggestion, but it was a subtle order.
"Do be careful though, Ja-..." She paused, eyes closing thoughtfully. "Anues."
With that she turned back around on the couch, facing away from him in favor of getting the nap she wasn't suppose to have.

AnuesHe watched her carefully as she spoke, her agreement making him feel overall far more lax. The more she said, the stranger it became though. He trusted her words, but... after all this time of telling him to back off. It was strange indeed. His ears made slight motions at specific words as he released her hand and leaned back in the chair again. He wanted to ask what she planned on doing now, but he didn't. He wanted to know who that Lucario was, but he didn't ask that either. Most of what he wanted to know, he would with time.
It wasn't Aire's point of view though.
All seemed normal, simply nodding along as she spoke before freezing at the mention of his name. She said it before, but he threw it off entirely. He felt like he hardly owned it anymore.
He almost didn't recognize it.
He wasn't sure if he should take that as they were closer, or further apart now.
The Gardevoir stared off on that note, his head making the slightest tilt before promptly becoming attent. Leaving. He was aware it was an order. He knew Aire needed to rest.
The Gardevoir stared down at the ground, debating the option he didn't have. He stood then. Only to walk over to Aire, sit on the ground, and rest his head against the side of the couch. There was an exhausted sigh, but that was it.
He'd leave, just into unconsciousness.

Tolin & Desmond & Charles
"Do it."
"Shouldn't we try talking to her first?"
"Charles."
The Mew let out a quiet laugh before pointing one finger at the roof below them.
A small bead of psychic lodged itself in the material and pushed outwards. It cracked and bent under the force until a hole large enough for both Tolin and Charles had formed.
By the time the Scyther had landed, a barrier had already gone up around the area to block off any attempts to teleport away.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now."
