Fiona's face betrayed nothing at Chairman Hyacinth's words, even as several other Gym Leaders, her friends among them, raged and seethed. What a shitshow this turned out to be, really. She shot sympathetic glances towards Astrid, Mika, Bianca, Nordrin, and Hestia  as they all left in turn, but made no move to get up herself. As every other Gym Leader filed out, Fiona casually finished off her bottle of water, staring Hyacinth down until the last Leader left.

[b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Make what call ya think's best, boss."[/COLOR][/b] Fiona finally stood up to leave, seemingly unbothered by all the furor and commotion. [b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"An' I'll do tha same. Let's be honest here, though, I dinnae give two shites about any 'severe punishment'. Go on, fire my fine arse. I'll run off tae Kalos, heard they might have some openings soon. Wouldn't that be a coup fer them an' an embarassment fer you?"[/COLOR][/b] She gave a jaunty, mocking wave as she turned to leave. 

[b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Don't worry yer head off too much, though. I got no intention of fuckin' with tha coppers' investigation."[/COLOR][/b] What went unsaid, of course, was whether or not she'd be undergoing one of her own. As Fiona sauntered out the door, her smile faded and she pulled her phone out, already pulling up her contacts list and firing off one text after another. She'd made quite a few friends during her post-Challenge career before she took up this Gym Leader gig, and it was time for all that to start paying off.
