This place was huuuuge! It always amazed her just how much bigger it was compared to the outpost she'd started in back in Hoenn, though really she supposed it was to be expected. This was the headquarters, after all, so of course it would be this enormous. Still,, she couldn't help but be amazed by it at least a couple times a day. Eventually she'd become accustomed to it, but that time had yet to arrive, and so Candice strolled down the hallway after her shift had ended, her hair down and wearing her grunt uniform, admiring the various aspects of the base as she went. Of course, it would be nice if it were another color besides just plain steely metallic colors - something brighter would be nice. Like blue! Not that she was biased or anything, nope.

Fresh from a training session with his team against another Agent, Aulus was heading up from training rooms to Floor B3 in search of something to eat. With Tortie padding along beside him he was somewhat lost in thought, planning the rest of the day and trying to remember which grunts he had volunteered to do some sessions with tomorrow. So it was that when he rounded the corner his mind wasn't exactly on the present, and thus when he saw a tumble of pale blue hair his logic centers didn't exactly get a look in.
With a sharp intake of breath he slipped back around the corner and pressed his back against the wall, heart suddenly racing with a jolt of adrenaline. Was he seeing things now? No, he could hear the woman's footsteps but how could she be here? Had it been-? It couldn't have been, right? She couldn't just have walked in here, couldn't have got past their security. Licking suddenly dry lips Aulus tried to persuade himself to look around the corner again; one way or another staying here wasn't going to do him any good at all.
Tortie, who had not dived back around the corner, came to a thoroughly confused halt. She had been aware of the female human since they'd come up the stairs; her footsteps were clear to hear in the echoing halls and her unfamiliar scent was fresh in the air. What had got into her trainer? Was this supposed to be a test or something? Not quite sure what else to do, Tortie decided to do nothing.

As expected, there was indeed a person there, and as he rounded the corner she stopped and put her hands on her hips. Checking his dex - what had made him gasp like that though? If it had been him - but, there wasn't anyone else around, and the pokemon didn't count, so it had to have been him. He didn't look like he had much to gasp about though, given his overall appearance - scarred in a bunch of places, red eyes, spiky hair - actually his whole countenance spoke of spikiness, it seemed. "Everything okay there?" She asked with a brow raised still, looking at the man expectantly.

Okay? Okay. Right. So far so not as terrible as he had expected, she was letting it go. "No," he replied, relaxing just a fraction, "I've been here since the base opened and I've been on the island for coming up on four years now, sort of an old hand I suppose."
Old hand. Oh Gods. If he were around somebody he knew (knew and got on with) he would groan at that and either fill in another hand-related pun or wait for them to do so. He suspected it was all wearing a bit thin on them by now but the situation itself was wearing thin on him, so they could put up with it for a couple more months... or however long it ended up being.
"You're a transfer then?" Aulus continued rhetorically, mentally changing the subject that he hadn't actually voice to avoid going over old mopey territory again. "How long have you been with the Team?" Now that he actually focused on her again rather than what was going on inside his head, or on relief that she wasn't picking at his flimsy excuse, he noticed that she was grinning. Friendly then? Friendly was okay, he was getting a bit better at taking it at face value these days... a bit. Still, didn't mean he had to let his guard down or anything.

"Old hand, huh? You like hand puns?" She asked, brightening a tad - that would be pretty cool if he did, given his lack of most of one arm. Self-deprecating humor was always A-OK in her book - to hear, that was, since she wasn't really into doing it herself.
His question received a single, firm nod in response as she put her hands back on her hips. "Yup! I joined up in Hoenn and transferred here when I got promoted, which was just a couple weeks ago," she elaborated since he seemed curious enough to ask, though it helped that she liked hearing herself talk, too. She might've asked if he'd transferred in too, but he'd already said he had been present for this base opening, so that seemed like kind of a silly question.

She was about to comment about it possibly being second-nature by then, but then he made another hand-pun and she found herself chuckling over it. "That was a good one," she said once she'd finished. Oh yes indeed, that was a good one. She couldn't help but have a certain level of respect for someone with such an obvious disability, but had the ability to laugh about it instead of be depressed or angsty over it.
"Oh yeah, very different," Candice affirmed with a firm nod, her hands moving to her hips. "It's a hell of a lot smaller than here," she added as she glanced around them, not that there was much to see in the middle of a hallway of course, before focusing on him again, "though it's about as boring - though that could be because I just got here and haven't done anything more exciting than filling out paperwork or moving boxes yet."

The once-over didn't bother her in the slightest, and she made no motions to straighten her posture or otherwise try to make herself look better; she had absolutely no reason to, after all. Candice was nothing if not fully confident in herself. The question gave her pause though, and her mouth turned down in a thoughtful frown. "Well," she started with a little wry amusement, "I can run a fruits and vegetables stall at a market. That's horribly boring though," the blue-haired young woman said with a dismissive wave of her hand, as if waving the notion away. "I grew up near the ocean, so pretty much any ocean- or water-related sport that exists, I've done it or can do it -- though that obviously isn't any kind of skill in a place like this," she added as an afterthought. Hum, what sort of skills did she have to put to use in a specific department? "I don't really know, actually. No background in science or engineering or anything like that. Too complicated for me," Candice admitted easily with a shrug.
