Yay. More. Namba and Sebastian.
These two are pretty short, though. Eh.
36. Time
" Am I boring you?!"
Ria glanced up from her watch. While waiting for the professor to come back, Namba had passed by in the hallway and stopped to discuss his latest scientific theories with her.
Yes, Namba. Me. The one who dropped out of middle school. Ria had thought to herself the moment he started yapping to her. She really felt sorry for Butch and Cassidy sometimes.
" You're not boring me. I was just wondering where S-"
" Time will pass, Miss Daliney. Will you?" the professor glared, not two inches from her face now.
" What? Will I pass?" Ria wrinkled her nose at the remark. What was this, school?
" I suggest you hand that over."
The little orange-haired man proceeeded to rudely unclasp her watch and stuff it into his own pocket.
" Uh, you can't take my watch. I'm not even here to see you!" she protested, tugging on the silver coat of her uniform, clearly indicating that she was handling Sebastian's business, not Namba's. He paid her no mind and continued with his lecture.
" Watches are nuisances. You won't get very far in life with one of these. Which is why I must take this and add it to my watch collection. It's for your own good, Rianne, you'll thank me for this later."
She started to storm after him, but finally Professor Sebastian showed up with keys and a handful of books to unlock his office.
" You're ten minutes early." he muttered.
" Good, then. I have time to go after that pinhead Namba." Ria felt she could have broken down the office door had he not already opened it.
" What?"
" He took my watch. For no reason." she turned from him, but Sebastian grabbed her wrist.
" No. Please." he sighed. " I'll buy you a new watch. Just don't call him out of his office again. Perhaps we can all get a few hours of peace."
54. Number
" Alright then. Welcome aboard, Dr. Number."
" Namba."
" Yes, whatever." Giovanni flipped through the file. " Surely you'll make an excellent addition to the team. Won't he, Sebastian?"
" Sure." came the sarcastic response. He knew from just a few interviews already that the man was a loon, but Giovanni couldn't be persuaded to turn him down. The research department was short-staffed already, and every little bit helped. Especially now, seeing as they were developing the technology for the re-capture of Mewtwo.
" Come, Number." he said the words as if they left a bad taste in his mouth. " I'll show you to your office."
" It's NAMBA!!!"
