Chapter 5 Clefairy

While the Clefairy sisters were gathering the pokemon ordered by there boss. The Secretary Clefairy goes to another counter in the same lobby. This counter has a sign next to it, a quill with paper the pokemon in charge here is a Clefairy with a monocle writing on some papers with a quill. This Clefairy almost looks similar to the Secretary Clefairy. While the Clefairy with the monocle was writting, a scroll tide with beads sits on top of the paper. looking up he sees the secretary of Jigglypuff.

In a deep voice the Clefairy with the monocle says "So, do what do I owe the pleasure of the "Head" of the Clefable family?"

S. Clefairy flinches a bit when hearing M. Clefairy use the words "Head". Attempting to ignore his words he talks in a soft tone. "Is there a need for that. You don't need to use "that" when working here."

M. Clefairy "True it's not like I'm being spied upon 24/7 and said spy has a ulterior motive for." M. Clefairy says while doing a throat slicing gesture with his quill. Insinuating a deeper message in action than words.

S. Clefairy stares at M. Clefairy who is returning to his writing. "Well back to why I'm here. That scroll has to be sent to a fighting tutor in the training grounds specially the " Muscle Head". Also make sure to request 3 Pokemon from the retired adventure group "The Ring Leaders". That should be it." S Clefairy ends it looking up arms crossed.

M. Clefairy hearing his task takes off his monocle cleaning it with a white cloth. His eyebrows are down in disapproval manner. sighing a bit he places his monocle back to his right eye talking in his usual low voice. "Writing the request for ex adventure members is simple but I'm against the idea of heading to the training grounds to meet that belligerent oof."

S. Clefairy "Don't be like that. That oof saved our lives more than once. If there is anyone who deserves our respect aside from the Jigglytuff family it's that oof." He says with a nonchalant shrug.

M. Clefairy glares at S. Clefairy when the word "Respect" came out. Pointing the feather part of the quill at him he says in a mellow angry tone. "For someone who seems to speak respect but doesn't show it doesn't deserve respect." Returning his quill he sighs adjusting his monocle. "I admit that oof deserves respect for the help he gave us due to "our" foolish actions, But it is another manner when you speak of respect. Don't think that no one knows in these past few weeks that you and the boss relationship is simple." Facing the scroll he reaches to take it only for another hand to block it.

S Clefairy speaks in a low tone similar to M. Clefairy. "What do you mean about that me and the Guild Master have a relationship?"

M. Clefairy "No surprise that you don't know." Removing his monocle he wraps it in the white cloth placing it in a drawer from his table. He massages his forehead while closing his eyes. "Do you know that there are some who believe that you are in control of the guild, or that Jigglypuff is just the mascot selected by the Clafable family because of past interactions, or that you and the boss are more than just friends, and the most concerning one." Opening his eyes he stops massaging his forehead, crossing his arms on the table, he stares almost emotionless at S. Clefairy eyes. In a quite tone that only he can hear he almost whispers "That the Clefable family "helped" the older brothers find a new home six feet under. so that the youngest can take control of the guild. Sense we "helped" the youngest we are the one in control." Ending at that he takes the scroll ready to leave when he hears.

???? "Secretary Clefairy all but one from the group is ready to enter the bosses office" in a slight high tone.

M. Clefairy turns to look at a small Clefairy with a clipboard. Hiding the scroll behind his back he answers the small Clefairy losing the low voice he answers in a voice similar to the Secretary. Putting on a smile with both eyes closed " Oh, if it isn't little smalls how are you doing. You never seem to want to talk to me even in the break room. Do you know how sad you make this Clefairy" Using [Fake Tears] he does crocodile tears on one eye rubbing with one finger a tear dangles from it. He also has a sad face.

???? "Hello scribe I see your as annoying and useless as ever." saying it in a condescending tone.

M. Clefairy feeling the hate returns to his low voice. "Sheesh sometimes I think you want me dead you know that Ava."

Ava hearing his normal voice says "Maybe if you took your job seriously instead of pretending to work here than I might care Wes."

Wes sighs a bit turning to face the S. Clefairy. "Well as I said brother no I don't want to join you to meet someone. I'm not being a third wheel learned my lesson." shaking his quill above his head. He sees that the S. Clefairy hasn't reacted using the same voice as the S. Clefairy he says. "Hey Ace snap out it's not the end of the world so there is need to feel so down. Shouldn't you pay more attention other wise this Pipsqueak."

S. Clefairy hearing his name snaps out of his thoughts. He was about retort when the small Clefairy Ava begins bickering with Wes.

"Who are you calling Pipsqueak feather brain!"

"Hey I take offense to that Pipsqueak."

"Care to say that again" Ava lifting both her index fingers and swaying left right begins to glow a faint light blue.

Ace flicks the small Clefairy hair with his nail causing her to lose focus cancelling [Metronome]. "Knock it off you two. If you want to fight do it at the guilds training field when your not working. At least you wont destroy the training hall back home with your disputes." Staring back at his his brother he says. "We will continue the talk another time make sure you show up."

Wes "*Sigh* Like I said I'm not being a third wheel in your dates." saying nonchalantly. Feeling a death glare from his brother he sighs. 'Great now your making me sigh. wait is this something passed down? Is it genetically passed down?...Food for thought.' "Fine I'll show up, let me just finish my work." taking out the monocle covered in cloth he places it back on his right eye then returns to writting.

Ace relaxing his death glare looks at the small Clefairy. "Is everything ready for the boss."

Ava holding a clipboard shakes her head. "No this one hasn't showed up and there is no records of taking a job request and the group don't know him so we don't know where he could be." Passing the picture to him he stares at it in a pensive look.

"Maybe I can help." Wes taking out his hand. "My work let's me interact with many of the members of the guild."

Ace passing the picture of the orange creature with a bone for a head.

Wes seeing the picture in his hands has a sad look. Looking up he passes the picture back to him. "Well I know where he is I'll send him over to the boss office." Taking a sign from his desk he let dangle from the counter that says Closed.

"What, are you going to escape doing work again." Ava retorts to Wes. Putting her hand on her hips she says "I bet you don't know the pokemon from this picture."

Wes putting away some papers before leaving says to a angry Clefairy "That pokemon is a Cubone. For specific reasons he is a solo adventure and a loner. I'm currently heading to Training Field to meet a annoying muscle head, and it so happens that along the way I'll likely pass by the Cubone so I can send him the message that the boss is calling him. So excuse me as I have work to do." Finish tiding up his counter he leaves with a scroll and a envelop leaving from the back door of the couter.

"Argh! That lazy Wes is ditching work again!" Ava angrily says.

"*Sigh* why can't you two behave like siblings. you are even using your names to insult each other." Ace says patting Avas shoulder.

"Why do you even protect him? He's lazy to the point of making excuses, he dosen't do anything when he comes home, and he bullies us Clefairies."

"Teasing doesn't count as bullying." Ace shaking his head. "True he is lazy at home but he does take his work seriously." Looking back at Wes counter the papers are stacked neatly and organized with small color slips sticking out. The shelfs have slips sticking out with different numbers next to different sized books, boxes filled with rolls of paper in the corner, and a desk with scribbles of maps. "Do you think any of use will be able to do what he does here?" Turning his head back at Ava "Back when he was an adventurer whenever there was new area to be discovered he would be personally selected to go on those journeys. Do you know why? Because he was the best cartographer."

Ava hearing this has a slightly different view on his brother.

Ace continuing his talk. "Everyone has something there good at and things there bad at. Come on if we stay like this any longer we will be the same as him." Giving a slight chuckle he walks to the group of pokemon with Ava following. While his face was seen as professional his thoughts on the other hand were back on a conversation with his boss.

Flashback:

"I'm well aware that you were forced into this position. Your brothers declined and as the youngest the position automatically landed onto you."

"he-he"

"Huh?"

"Nothing just thought of something that made me laugh. Where did you hear that my brothers declined the position of Guild Master?"

"Uh? There are gossip about how your brothers are going into separate paths such as Tutor, Marketing, and Agriculture."

"Well sense there are pokemon gossip about it there's no point hiding it, yes it's true. Clefairy do you by any chance know where this gossip started?"

"I think it started from your family residence. Why woul-"

Flashback End:

'What is going on behind the scenes.' A flash of an image of a small Wes appears he is hugging a book bigger than him with a smile. 'I hope you aren't putting yourself in danger brother.'
