Brian
Brian was in as much shock as Roberto at her order. He... Knew the scizor didn't like him. But to tell Roberto to listen to him? Thatwas... a lot. Like, way more than he wanted. He was trying to avoid the scizor, not command him! He didn't like telling pokemon that had other partners what to do. After all, he wouldn't want someone telling Thyme or Duster to do anything if he was around.
"Oh, um... I don't think that's really... Um..." Brian said, faltering.
"Yeah, cause if that big bug tries anything he will get a face full of flame." Nova said. Wait, when did he leave his pokeball? Apparently when Roberto had snapped the pincer at Bri. Nova didn't growl, he didn't glare, he didn't even acknowledge the scizor, his way of saying that the big steel bug wasn't worth the energy to be mad at.
"Brian, tell your friend that if she won't control her scizor, I will. He may think he's protecting her, but all he's doing is picking a fight with me. Let her know that if he keeps it up he wll get hurt, and I doubt she wants that. After all, he should really think, how would his trainer feel if he was stuck in the pokemon center with third degree burns?" Nova said mildly, his tail flicking as he sat, licking a paw. Still completely ignoring Roberto, and though the words were directed at Brian, they were meant for Roberto to hear.
"Um... Nova, no. We don't need a fight..." Brian said.
"Tell that to the bug. I don't start fights. I finish them." Nova said cooly, still grooming his paw with absolutely no mind to Roberto.
Thyme, Duster, and Leena
"Mwehehehe! We're here because of the Rockets! Bribri wants to send them to the moon! HEHEHEEHE!~" Leena laughed in human speech at Mark, floating all around him. Thyme closed her eyes, letting Snype hold her hands, and took some deep breathes.
"You would be upsset if you had to deal with THAT all day..." she said softly, her eyes closed.
"Hey hey, you don't need to worry 'bout us! Thyme's smart! And we won't be caught because we're small!" Duster said, running around, her neat tail flicking as she laughed.
"... Duster is right though. Team Rocket is interessted in rare pokemon. Duster and Leena are both common poemon you can find anywhere. The only one in danger is me, and if thosse fools can outsmart me then I deserve to be caught. Besides, we have more people to find." Thyme said, making no move to leave. Maybe she was trying to let herself be convinced not to go anywhere? Who could say.
