Len regarded the man with light reverence and returned the nod in full. However, she grew extremely territorial over her possession of food (well, what was by her) and scooted down a bit as if offering the other more room for walking. The grunt downed drink number something and slipped a forkful of cake into her mouth while she was at it. Gods, she was shifting in a terribly sugary sea. Life, right now, could not be better . . . or more blurry . . . or more drunk.

 With her permission, Mau took a seat beside the grunt. "Wounds, hmm? From what I gather, this has been the least painful mission." Though he was mostly going by hear say. Not too many had been horribly wounded on this mission. Though he didn't know the status of everyone. But with what he did know, people were pretty much alright, and he was quite glad for that. "Your flying was fine. At least, it seemed that way. I admit, I was mostly trying to not fall asleep the whole time and didn't notice too much what happened." He gave a faint laugh as Nyx joined them. He gave her a warm smile, holding up his so far unopened can of soda to her. "Nyx." He said fondly, inviting her to join them before returning his attention back to Faleen. "If you've been wishing to learn, why haven't you filed a request for the training? Or is that something only elites are allowed to train in?" He pondered a moment. "Though I believe you proved yourself more than capable."

"What, are you giving up pokemon flying so soon?" Nyx took a seat next to her fellow agent and took his can of soda with a smile, her cheeks flushing ever so slightly. Something was off; There were no protests of cooties, no gloating of a successful theft, and no refusal to share the same space as Mau. She popped the tab on her soda, "Just Nyx, Faleen." There were very few times when Nyx was concerned about rank or titles, and a party was definitely not it. "Who set all of this up?"

Since returning to base, Liam had been utterly silent. Outside of the infirmary for a handful of medicine for the soreness and some lotion for the burn on his arm he had barely left the Pokemon healing center. His Growlithe's physical wounds had easily been healed, but her and his own emotional damage had been something they wouldn't quickly forget. Liam had withdrawn into his own personal shell. Agni, on the other hand, seemed to be barking at every shadow, attempting to bite anything that moved. She had, for the time being, been returned to her Poke Ball and left in his room so as not to harm herself or others.
He wasn't even sure why he went to the party, but everyone seemed so jovial about everything. He wasn't sure if they had been where he was or not. It had taken twelve Rockets to defeat Lance. How did they expect to keep him locked up forever? If more than one of these people were to come together, Team Rocket would be doomed. But no, nobody thought of that. Everyone was celebrating the capture of this Lance and the mythical Kyogre. Liam figured he could at least try to join in.
On the other hand, he had found an empty seat near the corner and wasn't feeling particularly lively, what with all the talking and schmoozing being done. Though his morals had always gotten in the way, he found himself eying the brown liquid being passed around...

"I'm glad that you're finally up and about... Nina wasn't exactly happy about Never kicking her out of her place on my bed, but the poor thing was incredibly upset. You have a very loyal pokemon." Looking down at Hiromi, a very sad smile came over her face and she softly rubbed the Vaporeon's stomach as she thought about making a joke, but never voiced it.
At Sorano's offer of a soda, Fuku nodded her head. "A soda would be nice.... and I won't be made if you spiked it either." The alcohol would probably do her some good.

Alexander had noticed when more people had come in, ever recognizing some from the mission but what had him almost trying to disappear into the video game was simple. Lennyka was here and downing bottle number whatever of alcohol. He pretended that the video game had his full attention and hoped the drunk grunt would continue to stay over there. There was no way he wanted to deal with his friend when she was drunk and he was in a wheel chair.

"Oh, Nyx" she corrected herself, giving the Agent an apologetic look.
she took a moment from the current topic of conversation to greet the Agent who came over, and sat down with the small group.
"I'm not sure, I'm guessing just a couple of grunts that had been decorating." she took a moment to scan the party in search for who they had .
And back to topic, looking back over to Nyx with a small smile "Oh no, I'm still quite determined now to get more familiar with pokemon flying. But at the same time, the more I know about operating the Rocket machinery, the more useful I might be in some situations." at this point she looked over at mau
"I'm not sure what the requirements are for that kind of training, but I plan on asking elite Seth when i get an opportunity" she tilted her head, sipping from her coffee, unable to hold back a little grin when she was complemented on her flying performance.
"Oh Nyx, I was telling Mau, you both did a great job today with your pokemon. and catching the Kyogre."

 Isadora frowned a bit. Knocked off of the ledge...? That didn't sound too good. She chuckled a bit and winced as she very slowly lifted her foot and moved her ankle a few centimeters. "Mereleh twisted my ahnkle. Nohthing awful." She nodded respectfully at the two other people who came over to Faleen: Isa recognized them as the two Agents that were also on the raid. "Miss Nyx, Mr. Mau. Good evening."Downing the last of her coffee, Isa moved to throw her cup away when she noticed someone out of the peripheries of her vision at the television... playing the video game she was going to play! Oh, this would not do. She tossed her empty cup in the trash can and slowly limped her way over to the TV. After saying a polite "excuse me" to the two Agents and Faleen, she finally got to the couch where the younger man sat, seemingly entranced with the game. Isa recognized him as Alexander from the raid, but besides that mere fact, she knew nothing about him. One didn't need more than a name to play a game, though. "'Ello," she said to Alexander cheerily, taking a game controller in her hands. "Any chahnce I could join in?"

Alexander looked up from the game when someone walked over and started to talk to him. He saw it was another of the team from the raid but her name only came to him after a moments thought, after the relief she wasn't his drunken friend, or drunk at all as it may be.. "Hello." He smiled at Isadora and nodded. "Of course, the more the merrier and this game is so much better with at least two players." he laughed then switched it into two players mode.

 Honestly, Mau had no idea who the grassy haired woman was when she greeted him. He knew she'd been on the raid, but his mind was focused less on names and more on oh man oh man oh man. Will is Lance! Even though he'd not had contact with the league agent before this, when he was called "Will" and he only knew Lance by reputation. It was more the fact that they had a traitor that had him irked. He didn't care who it was. "All catching credit goes to Nyx. Good arm, good catch." He smiled. "But everyone did great in the fight. After all, we won." He paused for a moment, debating asking her how she fared in the battle. "Your team... how were they?"

"Ehxcellent," Isadora said, beaming. She seated herself on the couch next to Alexander, controller ready in her hands. After he switched the gaming mode and Isadora selected her character, the game began, and Isa began furiously pushing buttons and twisting her thumb on the analog stick. As she worked, Isa glanced at the young man beside and chuckled. "Y'know, I'm not realleh thaht good at video games. These kihnds, at least. I'm muhch better at Guitah Hero, if I do sahy so mysehlf..."

Faleen watched as Isadora excused herself and went to go interact with Alexander at the games, watching them quietly before Mau started to speak again.
It was here she hesitated, glancing over at Mau just long enough to get a look at him, before she drifted her gaze down to Umbreon.
"They could have done better." she answered, glancing down again.
Remembering that battle wasn't fun... Will's single pokemon had taken down her entire team with such little effort...
the thought sent a shiver up her back that she hide by leaning back against the couch... his strength was completely baffling to her... and the whole time he played to be such a struggling handler.
She didn't look remotely happy anymore, just keeping her head down, eyes on Umbreon.

"Good evening." Nyx nodded at the green haired woman she'd never really met before, besides seeing her on the mission. She didn't stick around long...
"Ah, ha... Thanks." Nyx grinned, the pride she felt fueled even more so by the praise she'd received earlier. Some people would have said they were just lucky, but not her. She was just that good, of course. "I'm sure you did fine. Wasn't he some sort of... League... person?" It had been impossible to keep an eye on everyone, or even a few people during the mission; There were so many battles going on at once, so Nyx didn't really know how Faleen did. Nyx also didn't follow the League. She'd never been a trainer.
It wasn't long before Nyx's soda can was empty. She stared at it for a moment, looked over at the refreshments table, looked back at her can, and then up at Mau and Faleen. "I wish to imbibe some ethanol! That is what you do at a celebration, isn't it?" She didn't wait for an answer before she slid off of the couch and went to fetch herself a drink.
There were so many different things to drink. Soda, juice, something clear and smelly, something golden and smelly, something brown and smelly. She really wasn't terribly experienced with any of the drinks, not one to usually have time, or the desire to poison herself to achieve some sort of high. But it was a party. Nyx poured herself a glass: Half orange juice, half potato ethanol. When her drink was finished being scienced into the cup, she returned to her seat on the couch.

"Ah, thank you," Alba said politely to Len when she moved aside, though his smile was a little awkward. The girl was looking near the cutoff point. But she outranked him, so it wasn't like he could comment on that. So did the white-haired agent that mixed her drink like a science. Alba had watched the act with curious amusement.
Now that he thought about it, probably everyone else in the room outranked him, as well. He put his left leg forward and looked down at the red material. Trainee red. Same as with his shirt. He ranked below a bunch of kids. Alba rolled his eyes at that realization. Great.
He turned his attention back to the food. What would be easy for a concussed person to eat? He also needed to take something for Merry, not to mention his own Pokemon would want in on the treats. Sipping on his coffee, he pondered on those details, how much he'd be able to carry, and how much longer he could relax before returning to the room.

 "Hey now." Mau said with a stern hint to his voice. "You did the best you could with the situation at hand. That's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm sure your team tried it's hardest. And yours wasn't the only one who'd been completely knocked out." He tried to recall, hadn't Nadja's team been knocked down completely? Or had her dusknoire survived? He knew Nyx's team, in the end, had fainted, but for much of the battles, they had been shielding his team while they attacked. "Maybe some more training would do some good." At that, he cast a glance to Nyx and smirked. "Right? Training pays off." Settling his gaze back on Faleen again, he continued. "Didn't you say you had never trained pokemon before you came to Team Rocket? Think of how well you've done in such a short time. If you want, we could set up some time to train." When Nyx got up, Mau's eyes followed her to the table. He thought about asking for her to grab him something too, but he wasn't really sure he trusted her to give him something that wasn't poison. She might slip something into his drink just out of spite for his team mostly not fainting on the raid. Or as a 'ha ha I caught Kyogre and not you' victory.
