[Yeah, so, initially he wasn't terribly happy to hear Heather's voice over the feed as he sat in one of the pokemon center's back rooms, sorting through the ever-growing and neverending pile of patient files. He had enough to worry about for the remainder of his shift without his "favorite" antagonist on the scene.
As he listens to her tone and what she has to say, however, and hears the Joys' whispered discussion about 'that young lady' on one of his trips up front to drop off and pick up some more files about the miserable-looking girl with the boyish haircut trying to look as small as possible in one of the lobby's corners....well....
yeah... Somehow you looked a lot bigger and satan-like when you were harassing him about flaming blankets =/
So, hey Heather? How do you feel about a tall center assistant sweeping past where you are on one of his go-betweens to set down a styrofoam cup of cocoa on the end of the table nearest you? It's nothing fancy, just the watery, cheap stuff you'd expect to come out of a waiting room vending machine.]

[Man, what a great first (... second, actually?) impression... The stuff Gaga hears from those nurses is, as one might expect, nothing flattering. The best of it is that she's a disrespectful hoodlum, and the worst of it... is that she actually freaked the eff out and gave one of the nurses a concussion with an IV pole last fall. So, unsurprisingly, they're... not too thrilled with her being back in town. And Heather seems perfectly aware of this. Which is WHY she's cringing around when Gaga spots her...]
[Needless to say, he's right. She's a lot less intimidating-looking right now.]
[So when the cup is set down near her elbow, she looks up in surprise.]
Uh--
[.... oh. ... oh crap it was that guy she kind of totally trolled mercilessly a little while ago. And right now she was SO not feeling like keeping up that act.]

Hello.
[insert crickets chirping here. Don't worry, he's been trained better than to kick a lady when she's down...no matter how loose the term might be applied in Heather's case sometimes :V
[Action] foolishwrenFebruary 21 2011, 20:13:04 UTC
[INDEED, Gaga. Indeed.]
[Heather is wondering the exact same thing. She can't exactly be all like 'So hey, sorry about teasing you about those flaming blankets', can she? Running her tongue over her lips briefly, she thatches her fingers in front of her on the table.]
Uh... yeah.
Keep calm and carry on, y'know? I'm good. ... Pretty much.
[She's not necessarily feeling GUILTY about having trolled him a little (it's not like she was TOO mean, right?), but ... well, she's ALREADY feeling bad about her crimes against nurses, so...]
[Fortunately for Heather, he doesn't particularly look like he's expecting an apology. IT'S NOT LIKE ANYONE EVER APOLOGIZES TO HIM ANYWAY HE IS USED TO IT /wrists
Nor does he look entirely convinced about her claims]
I see. Well, if you DO need anything, I'll be about for another two hours at the least. [and it doesn't sound like the Joys plan to do anything to help her, which is why he's even offering...he would dearly, DEARLY love to hear the entire story they've been whispering to one another about, though]

Uh... [She pauses, looking at that styrofoam cup, and then back up at him. There's an almost suspicious look in her eye. It's not that she's incredibly paranoid, but... it's probably safe to say she's not exactly expecting someone to be nice to her when she herself has hardly been that to them.]
You're a patron at my place of work. Someone ought to be looking out for you, and if they don't intend to do so...
[A brief nod toward the Joys behind the desk.
Suppose just for a minute it got out that the staff of this pokecenter was apt to ignore obviously-distraught visitors? HE didn't want to be listed up there with the Joys. As far as he's concerned, having his name smeared would just complete Heather's victory over him.
.....
....a-alright, and also, maybe he just has a really hard time ignoring upset girls, no matter HOW pissed they make him. A thousand years of catering to a young princess will do that to you.]

[She looks a little stunned at first. Y-YOU MEAN NOT EVERYONE WOULD BE A TOTAL UNPROFESSIONAL JERK LIKE SHE PROBABLY WOULD BE TO SOMEONE WHO WAS MEAN TO HER? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS.]
[But then, recovering, she rubs the back of her neck with a thoughtful grimace.]
... Well, I'm not sayin' I've EVER been a fan of their service, but... it's kinda justified on their part, don't you think?
[And then, eying Gaga almost... warily, she adds--]
Besides... I've always believed that what goes around comes around.
... It's not like I've given you any particular reason to treat me nice.
[S-SHE'S NOT COMPLAINING, HONEST. She's just... a little bewildered.]
