Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Yes ma'am.” Shame clung to her words, she wasn't used to being talked to in such a manner. It felt odd. She herself wasn't sure how to describe how she felt, Ampule had given his all and had done a decent job but he still needed training. A lot by the looks of things. Maybe the other woman was right, maybe she was spending too much time on trying to work up a resistance to something that was in his nature, they would need to work on other things if she wanted him to become stronger. If she wanted to ever move up in the organization----

Oh my gawd, I actually have to earn respect. I have to earn my ranks, I never thought about that before. Nothing is just going to be given to me anymore. I'm not anything special here. I am just another grunt.

The realization pierced into her bitterly, she was a grunt with a pokemon and nothing else. She wasn't going to be noticed unless she proved herself and so far she had never come to terms with that reality. Fumbling for the red and white pokeball at her hip Acacia felt shaken and sick. With clumsy movements the rookie field medic eventually drew the capturing device off of her belt and held the ball up mutely as her finger trembled to keep the contraption in her hands.

The return feature of the pokeball enveloped the knocked out form of Ampule in a bright red beam, de-materializing the energy of the totodile before ceasing as the creature was turned safely. “I am sorry for my outburst Faleen. I didn't have any right to snap at you like that. I really didn't. I am just not used to---” her chest fell and a heavy sigh escaped her lips. “I am not going to make up an excuse. I am just sorry that I used that tone of voice and tried to talk down to you. I am just a grunt, I need to realize that.”
