Max stared at Nyx. He took her awesome stick. Now what was he to do?
Len tossed the plastic package to the bacon away, turned off the heat and flipped the bacon over onto a plate.
"It's a long story." she said. "But I will sum it up the best I can. Mamma at home is going through some money troubles since my father got injured and stopped working. She had to pay for medical bills, stuff for the house and the Pokemon. Since Sorano is not sending any money home . . . Mamma wants me to bring him back home so he could work and help fund the family. That's about it."
Len poked the bacon. "Is this good enough?" she asked while breaking off a piece and holding it out to Nyx to test. "I'm not sure, never really good bacon good before."

"Yeah, thats perfect. Have your Pikachu crumble that up." Everything was just about ready, Nyx sprinkled some salt and pepper over the things in the skillet, then grabbed two bowls and two little dishes.
How to phrase this? Nyx scratched her head as she turned off the stove. "Len, I think you might not want to go around telling everyone you meet about your intentions." She poured the potatoes, apples, and sausage into the bowls and a tiny bit on the dishes, then put them next to the Pikachu for bacon crumbles.
Newton was so excited. What were the humans talking about? It didn't matter. It was food time! There was sweet in this food! Glorious day!

Len handed her Pikachu the platter, to which the Electric rodent received it and began to mash up. He sprinkled the smallest bits onto the bowls gingerly and returned to mashing up again. He made sure that no piece was bigger than the other and that each corner had equal amounts of bacon bits. His paws were extremely greasy when he was done and Len directed him to the sink, cringing away in hopes he wouldn't touch her and ruin her blouse.
"Why so?" she asked, tilting her head like a curious but extremely clueless child. "I'm just making conversation . . . is all . . ."

"Well, Len, I don't know what the recruiters told you, but no one just goes home." Nyx grabbed a few forks and picked up a dish for herself and Newton and started to walk to find a table to sit at.. "So you might want to talk to your brother about sending some of his and your paychecks to your mother and then making yourself comfortable here."
It was kind of sad, the kid joined Team Rocket to get her brother to help their mom and was now stuck herself.

"W-What?" Len didn't comprehend until the thought finally stuck. "I cannot, but-?"
Len quickly grabbed her own serving and followed after, Max in tow. She slumped down on the opposite side of the table and just stared at her meal, lost in thought. She couldn't go home? What, but why? She wished to question but cut the topic short there. Len was going to get quite upset if they were to continue.
"S-So . . . " she trailed, glancing up at Nyx. "I heard y-you guys go on missions and stuff, right? What is . . . What is that like?"

"They're pretty intense." Nyx shoved a fork full of the sweet, savory, and somewhat salty breakfast bowl into her mouth. "Mph, Ah wen' on un unfs." She held up a finger to pause and chew. "Ahh, that's nice. So yeah! A little over a month ago, me and my Partner, Jen, went on a mission. It, uh... well, bullets suck."
That sounded bad, well, it was bad. Getting shot and getting shot at sucked. Nyx took another bite, chewed, and continued.
"But don't worry, not everyone has to go on those sorts of missions. I'm somewhat of a field scientist as well, so I got to go. Do you battle at all? Or are you strictly paper-work girl? Why aren't you eating?"

"O-Oh!" Lennyka snapped from her thoughts and shoved the fork in her mouth, noting the flavor and it lifting her spirits a bit.
She listened to Nyx talk and nodded her head, but didn't speak much. When she heard the talk of bullets, she froze but shook her head.
"I-I do battle." she said sagely, nodding her head. "I'm not too good but my Pokemon tend to fight on their own, especially my Charizard. I think we could get by if the authorities come or . . . anything."

"Well, that's good. Jen and I didn't have any means of escaping, so she got shot and I had to throw her into the ocean and have Beaker swim us to safety!" Nyx took another few bites. "But the elites are tightening up on things, so I think the likelihood of a mission going bad next time are slim."
Nyx was doing an awful lot of talking. "I'm sorry, am I talking too much? I'm just pent up in the labs with just my pokemon for company so much, I sort of go crazy when I get someone to talk to!" She laughed a little, but she was completely open to answering any questions the girl had, even if that meant she was a little overly chatty.

"S-Shot up, poor thing!" Lennyka complimented mid-conversation. Her outburst was sudden but she quieted next to continue listening.
"You're not chatty at all." she laughed, smiling next. "I'd rather listen, honestly. I don't think myself much of a chatter bug, less this conversation is feeling a tad one sided, heh."
She dipped her fork into the breakfast concoction and took a bite.
"You can ask me some more questions if you want. Though my life is a tad boring, honestly." She gestured her fork a little at Nyx. "Or we could just throw questions back and forth. Whatever suits your fancy."

"Alright then, I know why you joined Team Rocket, so how did you join? Oh! And what did you do before you joined?" Nyx sat back in her chair, her bowl was almost empty and she needed to let what she had eaten rest for a little bit, plus, she actually seemed to be enjoying talking to Lennyka.
Newton had long ago sucked up all of the food on his plate and was drifting around the room trying to steal scraps from the few people at other distant tables.

"It's not too amazing. Since Vamoose, my brother's best friend, was part of Team Rocket already . . . he pulled some strings and I was accepted. Coming here to Kodo was the difficult part. It took me a full month to get transferred! I kept on telling them I had to find Sorano, had to find Sorano . . . yet they never listened. This one higher-up agreed to send me so long as I 'repay back his kindness when I come back to Kanto with a night in his bedroom'. I have no idea what that means, but it seems . . . fun! I mean, I don't mind sleepovers but I still have yet to bring Sorano back . . . so that sleepover has to wait."
She twiddled her fork between her forefingers and tilted her head at it in thought.
"Before I joined . . . I worked in a library to help pay off the Dinkley debt. Most of it was filing . . . that is why I am in the filing department here." She shrugged. "See? Not too exciting at all."

Nyx nodded as Lenn told the brief tale. "Hm." She didn't have the heart to tell Lenn what that higher-up intended- Well, she did, but it would probably cause the poor girl to be even more flustered, and she had enough on her plate, and a bit more about to be piled on. She nodded once more, this time to herself, she made up her mind about something.
"Well, sounds like getting over here was pretty uneventful. Good thing you knew someone, or it would have taken even more time trying to find a way to contact Team Rocket. I had to search for the longest time." Nyx chuckled and lifted her wrist up to check her watch. It was getting close to getting back to the labs time.

Taking note of Nyx's gesture, Lennyka gave a small nod with her head and chose to pick herself up.
"Ah, you have to return to your work station . . . yes?" Lennyka answered with an innocent tilt of her head. "I've got some filing and photocopying that needs to be done in the headquarter offices . . . so I hope you mind if I take my leave."
With a small bow and a beckon with her hand towards Max, the teal haired grunt slowly made her way out of the cafeteria.
"Thanks for the meal and chat, miss Nyx! It was wonderful! Hope you have a good day!"
