"It id nice place to visit and train if you don't mind the heat." Alexander nodded. "Unfortunately Conrad and I can't train when ever we visit home seeing as he is a normal type." he chuckled and looked down at the Eevee with a fond smile. "But Skiron might find it fun." The mentions of Conrad's weakness just made him think of the hard decision he had to make about which evolution path he would have the Eevee follow. A frown appeared on his face as he stared at his partner in thought. After a minute though he shook his head and looked back up to D.
"Ah, they are some interesting towns." he smiled. He ruthlessly squashed any reaction he might of had for mentions of Acrophobic's. He was not going to tell a guy he just met that he was one. "Did you managed to go to the PokéUniversity while you were there? They have a few interesting on going experiments that they some times show to visitors."

"Not yet," Frost replied with a very slight frown, "the nature of my work has allowed for only very brief exploration. The University is high on my list of places to visit in my sparse free time, along with the Museums and Library in Jinko... However, as I say, I have little free and and so that time is usually spent doing something relaxing, such as visiting peaceful spots like this." Today wasn't all play either, but then it never really was; one always had to be on the lookout for rare and valuable pokemon...
Conrad was probably quite valuable. Unique coloration, and still an eevee; this meant that any rocket who came into possession of him could evolve him to suit their needs and preferences, and made him more valuable on the open market for the same reason. This meant that he probably ought to try to... repossess the cheerful little pokemon.
As he watched Skiron finally succumbed to the smaller pokemon's hopeful chirrups, wriggling playfully in return. It looked as though they were making friends, and he was doing well with Xander so far as he could tell. A shame to spoil all of that, but it was his job... In a minute. Perhaps he could get some more useful information out of the relaxed local first... No, no he was just being illogical; he could not learn anything of any real use from the young man. Knowing that he was being illogical annoyed him, but he didn't allow the emotion to spread to his face or to affect his actions. He wasn't being as efficient as he might be, but he would get the job done in his own time. Even he occasionally wanted to do all the illogical things that were so deeply woven into the nature of human beings. Being around other human beings in an amiable setting. Looking at attractive human beings. They might not serve any real purpose, but that didn't make it easy to deny oneself those foolish activities.

"Really? It keeps you that busy huh? I know the feeling." Alexander chuckled, thinking of his own work. While being a scout was almost constant, it did leave him with some free time every now and then but some how always keeps him busy when he wants to go to the library. "I saw a bit of the Museums but I haven't yet been to the Library either." He paused then decided now would be good time to try and flirt again. "If we ever meet up there want to check it out together?" Granted it wasn't subtle but if the flirt didn't go over well Alexander could claim it could be a play date for Conrad and Skiron.
At this point in time Alexander had already temporarily decided D's Glaceon was off limits. Sure if he was ever order to steal his pokemon he would but he wanted to have an acquaintance/friend/possibly more if the flirting works, that didn't hate him.
Conrad bounced on his feet then reached over with his snot and lightly bumped Skiron. He then turned and started to run around. The other pokemon did know about tag right? Well if not the Eevee would be hapy to teach him!

...?
Frost blinked, and for a moment a look of bemusement flashed across his usually impassive face. The expression faded quickly however, and if anything Frost looked more emotionless than ever as he sank deep into confused thought, his pale eyes unfocusing.
Check it out together? Deliberately meet up again and go together? Ummm... Buh... What?...
After a few moments the wheels in Frost's mind stopped spinning uselessly, and his gazed snapped sharply back onto Xander. "That would be... nice." He thought? Yes. It would. He was surprised that the grey-eyed young man had taken to him so well, that was all... But if they were going to go and do something sociable he wasn't sure that he could really reveal what he was by trying to steal Conrad. That was a bit of a loss, but he didn't have to tell anyone about it. He didn't have to tell anyone about this.
As Conrad bounded away from him, Skiron chirruped cheerfully and gave chase; he knew about tag, but he hadn't played it for a very long time. Usually he didn't have the urge to, or anyone to play tag with come to that, but the eevee's energy was infectious. He hoped that their trainers were getting along as well as they were... Where had he smelled his new friend before? For a moment then he'd though he had it, but the knowledge slipped away again before he could pin it with his paws and work out what it was. Still, he'd remember eventually if it was important; for now, tag!

Alexander had to very quickly smother any urge to show amusement at the look that only crossed D's face for a heart beat. The older man was, dare he say it even in his own mind?, cute when confused. But that was over shadowed by the fact that he had actually said yes. "Oh good, it's always fun to explore something new with someone else." he gave a bright smile that was a tad flirty. So far it just looked like the pale haired man was just on the oblivious side of things when it comes to flirting.
Conrad gave an Eevee's version of a laugh as he raced around the area with Skiron. He was bouncing all over the place but always made sure he was close to the Glaceon to make it more interesting, there would be no cheating with Quick Attack for him! There was a few times where the wind would blow just right and Skiron's scent would fill his sense of smell. He didn't let it bother him that the other was familiar, he was going to have fun right now and maybe think on it later. Conrad got a devious look on his face then darted between the trainers with a chirrup, only to keep running once he was clear of them.

...Wait a second. Was Xander flirting with him? Explore something new with... Check it out together...? No, he was probably imagining things. Wishful thinking perhaps. Perhaps that was creepy; Xander was considerably younger than he was... But then it was generally agreed by the world at large that he was excessively creepy anyway. Still, it seemed unlikely that it had been flirting, and therefore there was no need to analyse it.
"Agreed," Frost said eventually, "I don't often get the chance to; I am usually something of a 'loner'... I do enjoy time by myself you understand," he added, because it was important that Xander understood that he was not pathetically lonely, "but from time to time... From time to time it is nice to do things with other people, especially new and interesting things. Oh; hello there." That last had been directed at Conrad as the eevee rushed past him, closely followed by Skiron. Funny. It was not in character for his companion to behave this way... but now he considered it, tje glaceon did seem to become more extroverted around others of his evolutionary tree. Well, so long as he was happy.
Skiron was indeed happy; he let out a playful 'glacie!' as he pounced playfully at the eevee. That familiarity was becoming clearer in his mind, seemingly more so the less he thought about it. As such, he resolved to focus totally on their game; it wasn't often he did this, so he planned to enjoy it as much as possible.

Was that a bit of disbelief and possibly either embarrassment or bashfulness he saw? Alexander wasn't sure but at least it was some kind of reaction. "Of course I understand, sometimes it's better to just be with your pokemon and avoid human contact." he nodded, the feeling was rare to him but it still happened on occasion.
"Then we shall have to look into trying to get together and explore the library sometime." he gave a wink and a flirty smile, one last try flirting to see what the others reaction would be. If it went over ok then the blond would still flirt but if he reacted badly to to it he would back off. Alexander got distracted and had to laugh though when his partner went flying in between them, looking like he was having a lot of fun.
Conrad kept up his pace that lead Skiron all around the area. He would occasionally let out some happy chirrups or yips every now and then as he bounced from obstacle to obstacle. He would definitely have to play with the Glaceon as often as he could!

That was definitely a wink. Frost raised an eyebrow very slowly, the rest of his expression remaining totally neutral. "I am not especially adept at reading people," he said after a moment, "and so you will have to forgive me if I'm mistaken but... are you flirting with me?" Depending on the young man's answer he could decide what to say himself. If it was a no, that was fine, he could easily pass the mistake off as nothing. If it was a yes... Well that made things more complex, but potentially far more interesting.
Skiron's feelings were much the same; it might do him good to let off a bit of steam like this regularly. As their humans still seemed to be getting along well (much better than he had expected by the look of it) this might even be a possibility... Humm. Yes Conrad's smell was certainly familiar, so he had smelled it more than once? Where had they been more than once? Base, and a few shops within the big city. Maybe the eevee's human took him to the icecream shop too? Maybe that was it.

Alexander had to bite back the urge to laugh at D's facial expression when the other man raised his eye brow. He wasn't even sure if the man knew that some of his surprise showed on his face, how ever little it might show, besides the gesture. Alexander folded his hands behind his back and tilted his head slightly as he thought on how to respond. Sure he was flirting and trying to find out the others response, but he didn't have much to go on and he didn't want to offend the other or possibly freak him out if he took it the wrong way.
"If I said yes would you hit me?" he asked with a playful smile. He had decided he might as well finish what he had started. At the very least he would find out how the other felt about his flirting rather quickly. "After all, your quite the handsome man." he didn't think both sentences quite fit with each other but he felt it was needed to be said.
Conrad got board with just running away in this game of tag so decided he was going to spice things up! He turned around quickly mid jump then when his feet hit the tree limb he bounce back the way he came. He flew by Skiron not quite and inch away. On his way past he lightly brushed his tail against the others body and let out a playful chirrup. Plainly he was saying the Glaceon would have to do better then that to catch him.

...Humm. Alright then. This was unfamiliar territory, but no doubt he would cope. Frost raised his other eyebrow, and for a moment the ghost of a smile tugged at his lips. "I am not in the habit of hitting people," he said after a few moments of silence, "I find losses of temper like that quite crass... Attractiveness. Mmh. I'm aware that I do not fit the stamp of what society deems desirable in a man, but of course everyone has different tastes." Apparently Xander's tastes ran towards slightly chubby older men. Maybe it was the eyes, he had been told in the past that he had nice eyes. He had also been told in the past that he had 'freaky' eyes; everyone had different tastes...
And what ought he to say about his own tastes? The fact remained that Xander looked very young, but he clearly wasn't a boy anymore, and it wasn't as if it was he who had started this. 'He started it' might be immature, but it was also true... In any case, given his line of work it wasn't like flirting could lead to any kind of lasting relationship that people might judge him for. Come to that, he didn't much care if people did judge him; he was judged all the time for one thing or another. Well, what the heck, Xander was probably more experienced than he was in any case so he supposed there was no harm in letting the grey-eyed man know he found him attractive.
"From my point of view," the Frost went on eventually, "you are quite handsome yourself. This is merely subjective of course, as I said all tastes differ. I expect some people would find you most unappealing." That had probably been an awkward way to say it, but odd phrasings didn't seem to have troubled the grey-eyed young man so far.
Hey! Skiron gave a squeak of surprise at the normal-type's sudden change in direction, and scrabbled to turn and give chase again. Now completely absorbed in the game of chase, he totally missed the conversation going on between the humans.

"Oh good." Alexander grinned, relieved he wasn't going to be hit for his flirting. "It would have lessened your over all attractiveness if you lost your temper over that." he fully agreed with that as he was NOT interested in the slightest to someone who would get violent over simple flirting. "Society would be blind then to not see your handsomeness." he gave a slight chuckle.
"Thank you." he said with a smile at the complement then hummed in agreement to D's last statement. "I can't appeal to everyone nor would I want to try." He didn't bother to see any insult in D's words as it was true and not meant to be offending anyway. Besides if anyone did try to appeal to everyone they would lose every time anyway as you just can't be attractive to every one.
Conrad chirruped in challenge and kept twisting and turning, sometimes his fur would brush against the Glaceon and other ties it just came close. He was having fun testing the others skills.

The whole of society should find him attractive? That was a bit much, especially considering the grey-eyed young man then went on to say that he himself wasn't universally attractive. "Well a fair portion of society is blind then, to the best of my knowledge," said Frost, raising an eyebrow very slightly, "but if the hyperbole was intended as flattery then thank you." While he knew it wasn't true that everyone found him attractive, he supposed it was nice that Xander said he thought that they should. Unless he was just being teased of course, which was still possible. Flirting was difficult; he'd take rocket science over it any day.
Skiron made another pounce at the eevee, but missed and ended up rolling on his back. Giving a soft 'mrr' of amusement, the ice-type lolled on his back for a few moments studying the bright blue sky... And suddenly he knew the smell! He was not mistaken, he was sure of it! He had caught the eevee's scent before by the doors that led into the base; he had been looking up at a sky as blue as this at the time. Giving an excited yip he sprang back to his paws and bounded over to his trainer's bag. Dragging the flap open, he stuck his head inside and began to rummage.
At the Glaceon's abrupt change in behaviour, Frost frowned slightly. "Skiron what are you doing? Are you thirsty?" The ice-type, however, made no response to his query; that was most out of character. Whatever was on his mind had to be really important.

Alexander honestly hadn't thought of how his words contradicted his self but once D had pointed it out he almost rolled his eyes at his self but stopped before he could since he didn't want the other man taking it wrong. His last boyfriend had told him that when he was flirting he sometimes tended to no make sense when he was too busy admiring who he was flirting with. He made a mental note to work on that some time soon. "Your welcome." he said with a smile as he thought of what he could say next with out sounding as corny or a double standard as he had before.
Conrad bounced around a few seconds more before he realized the other pokemon was lost in thought. He was about to pounce on Skiron when the Glaceon got up and ran over to his trainers pack. The Eevee tilted his head and padded after the other with a questioning chirrup. What was the other doing? Maybe he decided to play something else that needed a toy?
Alexander looked over at the pokemon when D started to talk to the ice type. He raised an eye brow, slightly curious but not by much as he didn't know what the pokemon's normal behavior was like.

Ah-ha! Here it was! Giving a triumphant but indistinct; "Glacie!" Skrion dragged out the object he had been seeking.
It was a Team Rocket standard issue pokegear.
...What? What was he doing? "Skiron," Frost hissed, his pale eyes locked onto the ice-type in a deadly cold glare, "what do you think you're doing? Fine then, you blasted fool, get ready for battle!" He didn't understand. Skiron knew about security; what had got into him to do something like that?... And why wasn't he preparing to fight the eevee? This was wrong, everything about this situation was wrong. It had been going so well; why had Skiron decided to expose them like this? He simply couldn't understand it.
"Glae-glae!" Skrion chirrped helpfully, picking up the pokegear in his mouth and trotting over to the grey-eyed human, where he set it down on the ground. "Glacie?" he added, turning around to give his trainer a pointed look; did he get it now?... After this, he really hoped he was right after all. If he was wrong he was going to be very embarrassed, and in a great deal of trouble to boot.

Alexander slowly blinked in surprise when Skiron pulled out the only Rocket issued pokegear. Well that was...unexpected. He wasn't sure how he felt that D was a Rocket like him. On one hand that meant he wouldn't ever have to steal his pokemon, which was good, they shared a job so it would be a secret, which was also good...but... Oh well, no use thinking about it any more. He knelt down when Skiron came over to him and pet his head before giving D an amused look, deciding he might as well have a bit of fun. "So is your name even 'D'?" He paused then chuckled, 'D' looked angry/panicked enough so he really shouldn't keep him in suspense. "Rocket Grunt Alexander Cole at your service." he drawled, eyes sparkling in amusement.
So that's why the Glaceon's scent was familiar! Conrad bounced around excitedly with a chirrup. This meant they would definitely run into each other more! He ran over then snuggled up to the other pokemon and gave the ice type's trainer a happy fox look.
