Well... Faleen had asked her, so something fried and bad for them it was
"I'm sure they have those all around here. We'll take the first one we see then."
Unless it looked to trashy for Faleen to consider stepping in.
"There is a strip mall over here with some places to eat at it, I think thats a good destination"
Her own pokemon could use some food to, though Faleen wasn't entirely thrilled about feeding them junk, but... maybe a treat, just this once. (forgetting she often thought this)

The pair walked in the direction of said Strip Mall, but it wasn't long until Nyx smelled something delicious in the air. "Ooh... Whats that..." She looked around and then spotted it. "There! Lets go there!" The excited Rocket didn't wait for Faleen to agree, she just grabbed her arm and started off.
It was a little hole in the wall diner, Donnie's, but the two n's on the light up sign were broken, so it was really just Do ie's. "Fa-aylee, do you smell that?" There was a distinct smell in the air, like freshly fried food. A paper sign in the window boasted a claim to 'The Best Fries in Camphoreon'.

"Uh- ooh!" making a startled noise when her arm was dragged and she was pulled into a much quicker pace by the smaller agent. but she didn't fight it, moving with her to see what kind of food she found that she was taking an interest in.
"Heh" Faleen didn't much mind that she nearly used her real name, in the city it might actually be best to just call her Faleen, in case they did run into someone she knew.
Brushing it off she, she looked to the place Nyx had picked, "Alright, I suppose it'll be as good as any"
Once food was ordered, Faleen took a seat at a booth sigh a soft sigh, bending one of her legs to press the heel of her boot against the edge of the seat. observing her black boot for a moment "I'll need a new pare before long, these have lasted me for a long time." Good thing they were shopping.

Nyx set Chanute on the table when she sat down, where it proceeded to waddle around and babble. "Awww..." She coo'd at the pokemon briefly before she looked at Faleen's boot. "Oh, how long have you had them? Looks like you're certainly getting your money's worth out of them." She had a few pairs of shoes, and she would wear them until they fell apart off of her feet.

"I have two pares, I've gotten close to a year out of them," She could tell she was going to have to replace them soon, she tried to keep them looking as nice as she could, but there were some things wearing down that she just couldn't keep up with.
With new rank, it was time for new boots anyway.
"They've been reliable."
With another sigh she reached into her back, pulling out a pokeball,
It opened, and an Umbreon was called out, the dark creature sitting in front of his master, large red eyes flicking over to Nyx before they moved back to Faleen "Breon!" he barked.

"Good thing we're shopping, then." Nyx smiled and fiddled with the jam holder on the table. The little Togepi seemed to get curious and sat clumsily in front of the strange thing with plastic... blocks.
"Prii..." The egg chirruped and pulled one of the blocks out of the wire container, she held it over her head for a while, stared at it, dropped it, and picked it up again.
Thankfully there was enough room on the table for the thing to sit and for food, because a waitress/cook had come over with their plates and drinks. Nyx thanked the woman when she sat the plate of fries and chicken fingers in front of her. "Mmm... So, Kaylee." She paused to eat a french fry, "Why do you only train dark types?"

"Indeed, hopefully they have a good place to buy good quality boots" This was a more difficult thing to find than one would expect,
Having moved her hands over Umbreon's head, scratching an ear (Umbreon seemed to enjoy this) before the food arrived, and Faleen sat properly in the seat, watching the Togepi as she played with the little jam packets.
Casually tossing a fry over to Umbreon, Faleen reached for one of her own, when Nyx's question drew her eyes up to the white haired women.
"uh..."
Faleen really needed to stop this, feeling a sinking feeling in her chest whenever something like this came up. They were common questions! get a grip.
"I like working with them." She answered, lifting the fry to her mouth.

"Huh... Why?" Nyx ate a few more fries and took a drink of her soda, unaware that her questions were making Faleen feel awkward. She had no idea Will had asked the woman the same questions, they were indeed common questions. "I don't think I like working with any one type." The scientist chuckled, "Even though I've got three fire types now." They weren't her favorite type, not at all, but chance had seen her end up with three of the buggers. At least she'd never want for a camp fire.

"... I hate fire types" she answered rather simply after a pause. Picking up another fry.
"my apologies" she continued, realizing how trackless that comment might have been, and pointless "Its been recommended to me many times that a mixture of types is best. I simply have no desire to deviate from pokemon with darkness in them"
Nyx might know, she had been on the training mission with Elite Nadja when the women had told Faleen that more types would be better.
She didn't mean to put a cold spin on the conversation, Faleen felt she was being rather rude, needlessly.
"I was recently given a Normal type by Elite Seth... I must admit I'm not entirely certain what to do with it yet." She added,
It was a common thing that people enjoyed talking about pokemon.

Faleen's rather snappy response illicited a long series of blinks from Nyx. She wasn't really used to grumpiness coming from the blond, normally she got it from Seth, so it caught her off guard. Her bout of confusion ended abruptly, though, when Faleen mentioned the Elite.
"Wait. What? Seth? Seth gave you a pokemon?" Since when did that man do anything nice like that? It was stunning. Nyx dipped a chicken finger in one of her dipping sauces and bit off a large chunk. Chanute scooted over to Nyx's plate and took a french fry to munch on.

Faleen was not at all oblivious to the look Nyx was giving her, and she knew just what it was about.
Swallowing a little, the Agent blushed, ashamed she had acted that way toward a colleague, and she looked it, rightfully so.
"Yeah, it was when I got promoted. He said it would be useful in my work. but he didn't seem at all pleased to have it around in the first place." She gave a small amused smile.
"One of these"
Once again she reached into her bag, and pulled a pokeball out.
The ball opened, an a small Black Porygon formed on the seat next to her.
"Gon gon!" it glided forward and bounced right off Faleen's side.

"Oh! Huh. I wonder where he got the Porygon from. He's already got a PorygonZ" Nyx watched the little thing bounce off of Faleen. "I didn't realize Seth promoted you." She ate another bite of breaded chicken strip and passed a few more fries to Chanute. "I've never pictured him promoting anyone. Did he yell at you while he did it?" It was probably a well known fact that Seth was not on Nyx's favorite peoples list. No one was yet aware that she was attempting to... make peace... with the Elite.

Faleen waved a hand to discourage the Porygon as it once again bounced off of her. The small pokemon tumbled backwards before floating up and catching sight of the Togepi "Pory- gon, gon!" he drifted over to her.
"I'm not certain, it seems really young though, compared to what size a Porygon normally gets." she pointed out, watching the black normal type.
She looked back at Nyx though when she continued with a couple more questions, the last drew a small laugh from Faleen.
of course Faleen had been yelled at by Seth before, and she was pretty sure that wasn't ever going to stop, and she knew what kind of reputation he held with the mass majority of Rockets, but, the last few time she had approached him about something, he hadn't yelled, and handled the situation professionally.
She very much felt she could go to the elite for work and Rocket related situations.
"No, he didn't yell, I wasn't really expecting a promotion either, I was just going to ask about getting to be more hands on about constructing robots."

"Huh. I guess his relationship with Miss Nadja has curbed his bite some. I brought him a cake after-" She didn't say after what, Faleen would know, but they couldn't discuss it in public, "And I managed to get into his quarters, chat with him for a bit, and then leave without him yelling at me... Maybe it was just all pain killers he was on." Nyx shrugged and finished off another chicken finger.
The Togepi blinked at the strange pokemon that was moving close to her, not sure how to react to it. On the one hand, she didn't like other pokemon, on the other... the humans could see her. "To ge... prii?" The egg pokemon threw a fry across the table, away from her, maybe to get the Porygon to leave her alone.
"At least I can guess what your favorite type is." She chuckled. "How did you get your first pokemon?" Nyx was getting better at chatting.

If there was one thing Faleen knew less about than most types of pokemon, it was relationships, at least the romantic ones anyway.
When Nyx mentioned to Faleen that Seth and Nadja were in a relationship, she simply nodded, before pausing and tilting her head "I wasn't aware that Seth and Nadja worked together outside of missions, don't they head different departments completely?"
Umbreon blinked as a fly landed on the floor next to him, frowning at it softly... okay...
Poyrgon however, after watching the fry fly away, simply lost interest and looked back to the Togepi.
that looked like fun, it wanted to play to. "Pory gon!" happily, he glided over, flicking a fry up with his nose.
This act though, caused Faleen to reach over with both hand, and scoop the normal type up and back to her, to keep it out of trouble. he was placed into her lap, with a calm hand on his head.
The Porygon wriggled, still peeking a head up to look at Chanute.
Paying attention to the conversation, she smiled softly when Nyx told her of her latest experience with Elite Seth.
"My first pokemon was bought, a little under a year before I joined actually... and you?"
