[Fin] Tailor Made

"Oh I thought I was being quite generous," KO murmured to Mau. "I mean, I could have called them vermin." Cute vermin though and it seemed that the cutest of them had noticed him looking; definitely short on personal charm. KO took a slow sip of his drink and then, with his trademark little smirk on his lips, he replied; "Well I was staring at you actually. Overall I would give you a... seven out of ten but it could have been an eight if you'd gone for a paler shade of blue, it would flatter your complexion better." Never say he wasn't generous, free fashion advice! Not that the idiot would remember it in the morning probably but that was hardly his problem now was it?

Oh lovely, this was going down hill fast. He had hoped that the comment would just make the guy pull a face and move away but no, his friends had to goad him and he had to- Ugh. Just lovely.

KO's smirk faded to a flat expression and he folded his arms across his chest. "Don't flatter yourself; you're nice enough to look at but I wouldn't take you home, you reek of cheep beer and I'd be afraid of sticking to all the gel in your hair. Just run along, will you? Some of us were having a pleasant conversation before you and your friends rolled in." There were quite a lot of them but they were drunk, if he came to it he was confident that he and Mau could beat a hasty retreat before too much went wrong. Fairly confident anyway.

Sorry for the delay!

Maybe he could have got out of the way of the punch, maybe not; he didn't have to find out which. He had to admit it was pretty satisfying to see Mau's fist connect with the guy's face, but he was under no illusion about where this was going to lead.

Kody's friends, apparently having got over their shock at seeing their buddy punched, started to move forward with ugly expressions on their faces and various shouts of abuse at the pair of Rockets.

KO took a quick look at his phone for effect and then caught at Mau's elbow, grabbing a pokeball from his belt with the other hand and saying; "Well would you look at that, we have an appointment to be somewhere else now. Shall we go and leave these gentlemen to their evening?" Preferable before a real fight started. Drunk as the idiots were he was confident that he and Mau could handle them but if there was a fight there would be police and he was not getting arrested tonight. If they couldn't get out with ease then he'd let Bruce out of his pokeball and Hypnosis the drunken louts.

Once they were clear of the bar KO relaxed a little physically but his mouth remained pressed into a flat line of suppressed anger. Those-! That was why he didn't usually bother with anywhere but Prism and its kin, you never knew when something like that was waiting for you.

"It's fine, he didn't manage to hit me." KO glanced up to give Mau a brief, slightly vicious looking smile. "You know I would have loved to stay and watch you give that b*****d the beating he had coming but I didn't feel like getting arrested tonight." He walked a little further in silence before giving a brief sharp laugh an adding; "And you were as good as your word, protecting my face. So, thank you for that." He just wished it hadn't been necessary, either that or that they'd lingered to make the pack of vermin suffer.

"Taught? People like that? I doubt it," KO replied, his voice dripping with distaste as he continued to put distance between himself and the bar. It wasn't as though he was unused to that kind of reaction, but if anything familiarity bred contempt as indeed the saying went. Hadn't all those people died out yet? It was a shame he couldn't help them along the way to extinction but just like the fight anything like that wasn't worth the risk.

"I can't say I fancy it either," KO continued to Mau after a couple of moments of fuming silence. Didn't want to go to another bar - even Prism didn't sound attractive right now, his mood would spoil it - but didn't fancy simply returning to base either.... Perhaps Mau's suggestion had merit, a detour to acquire alcohol and allow his temper to cool and then a return to base to consume it. "Alright, drinks back home it is," KO decided aloud, looking over to and up at his companion again. He couldn't say that today was going to go down in his list of best days ever, far from it, but he was at least glad to have met Mau; a new ally, perhaps even potential friend, was a valuable thing indeed.
