Alba laughed tiredly, feeling drained. "That bad, huh? Wow. And here I thought there was only enough room in Hell for the one."
Spook chimed appreciatively at Claire's help. She could pick up the whole plate and consume the whole reduced helping in one gulp, now! That was exactly what she promptly did, too. When she moved to mimic Claire's fork-use to dish out another helping, she spotted Zeus's begging efforts. Looking between the Pikachu and her pasta bowl a few times, she pointed at the bowl with the fork while staring at Zeus. "Ching?" Share?

"Well, I can't say I know why your ex is such a b***h, but my sister was just aggravating and felt she was entitled to everything. Even went so far as to tell my parents to give her Odette after I got her for her to use in contests." And she probably was still enraged that they hadn't.
Zeus was in the middle of chewing the bread when Spook offered to share, and he immediately brightened up and nodded his head vigorously. "No," Claire said in a flat tone before tapping the spoon onto the Pikachu's head and ignoring the subsequent growl, "that bread you're eating has way more carbs than you need, you're fat enough already. No pasta." Ugh, then he'd gain back all the weight she'd been trying to get rid of on him. ...not that he seemed to even be losing weight at all. Maybe he was just big boned or something... "Say, Alba, how long have you had Spook?" And why was she still a Chingling? She was when they'd met, and that was ages ago. Why hadn't she evolved yet?

"No siblings for me. She sounds like a real piece of work, though." Alba didn't add to the conversation with anything about Sam. She was a part of a life he had once hoped to leave behind.
Spook pouted as well on Zeus' behalf, but apparently could tell a losing battle when she saw one. She tilted her body in question to Claire's inquiry. "Ling?" She turned to peek over the edge of the table at Alba.
"She's been with me since about a month before I joined," answered the disembodied voice. A hand reached up to pat the bell on the head before disappearing again. "I know, I haven't trained her much. I haven't trained either of them, really. Seems like I'm always either too busy, or just don't know where to start." Sam hadn't been lying when she said Alba had never had Pokemon before.

Claire helped herself to a little more of her meal while Alba spoke, watching the disembodied hand with quiet bemusement. No wonder he was still a trainee. He didn't train his pokemon and he didn't seem like the ambitious type. "Sounds like you could use some help," she said with a light chuckle, violet eyes focused on the Chingling. "I could, if you'd like."

Alba propped himself up by his shoulders, so he could see Claire over the table's edge. "Would you, really? That would be a big help- oh, ow." He had tried to sit up further, but had almost instantly paled and had to lie down again with an arm over his eyes. There may have been some grumbling under his breath about a "Miss Salmonella."
"I'm okay." A hand making the gesture of a thumbs up appeared in view. "But, yeah, I could really appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks."

"Sure, I'd love to," she said, eyebrows raising a bit as he sat up then laid back down. Love hurts, so the saying goes. "Maybe later, or in a few days."
After another bite or two her meal was finished, the waitress summoned, the check split and paid for, and the pair was soon out the door to return to the van. Claire didn't want to spend too much time in the city anyway, just in case anyone from Galactic showed up, and it was obvious Alba wanted to avoid Sam and whoever this Thompson guy was. It didn't take long to reach the van where the two would chat and wait for the rest of the guys to show up, and after an interesting drive back, Alba would feel well enough to help bring Claire's new TV up to her room, even though she never asked.
