Finally out of the hospital and back on her own two feet, Mia wanted to just...get back to business as usual, but given her condition that wasn't the easiest. She'd been getting too easily frustrated with the small things she couldn't quite do as well anymore, from something as simple as getting dressed without both arms and buttering toast to the fact she couldn't really train as well as she used to. She still had therapy trips at the hospital to teach her how to keep her muscles mass without her old exercise techniques but...well she just had to struggle in the meantime.
Thankfully, she was at least allowed to drink again, and while her first trip back to the bar had ended in her smashing someone's face against the bar in a fit of pent up frustration, today was a bit better. Everyone was a little quiet around her, realizing that even Mia wasn't ready for the non-stop jokes yet. The bar was still a little noisy, but it's usual rowdiness was missing for sure. Mia wasn't downing her drinks as usual, but as she rounded the snooker table, it wasn't a surprise to see a fresh beer placed beside her.
"Jim seriously you don't-"
"Mia your fine. I can owe ya a few freebies for all the dipshits you've thrown out of here for me, yeah?"
"...thanks Jim." Placing her cue against the table, she lifted the drink with a small cheers motion to the bartender before he slid away back behind the bar, Mia downing about half the drink before taking up her pool cue again. Given she was right handed she hadn't been making many good shots, but she was more just trying to distract herself above all else...leaning down against the table she tried to brace the cue against her side, but still managed to pocket the white, hanging her head with a soft sigh.
"...You can 'ave that one again Lass, I-" "Just take the two shots alright? I'm...I'm good."

"YOU GOTTA LEARN COMING OUT HERE! INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM!" Conrad ran through Liggs, desperately trying to figure out where Mia was. He had heard of her injury when he was on his journey, and had almost immediately hung up and rode his Arcanine back to Liggs. He even rushed so much his body didn't have time to adjust, almost causing him to keel over in the process. She had battled a legendary pokemon, and it had taken her arm, an injury that had hospitalized her for weeks. Conrad had so many questions, and more importantly he had to make sure she was okay! She was the Older City of the entire underground, to attack her was... was something that made him feel something he never felt before.
Before he could act on that feel however, he needed to find Mia and get some answers. But where could she be? He had checked the hospital, her home, the gym, and almost everywhere. Finally it occurred to him, why not go to the second most popular place in Lower Liggs? He ran towards the city bar, running directly in as his eyes darted around looking for Mia. It wouldn't take long to see her, the amputee trying to play pool with one arm. There was something about actually seeing her without the arm that had a whole different effect than hearing about it. Mia was always this physically perfect and untouchable person. The fact that something was able to hurt her was enough to scare Conrad, as much as he didn't want to admit it. But still, she was also the big sister to him and most of the lower half of Liggs. Hell some Upper city members can even claim to have her as a sister. So the fact that something attacked her was something they couldn't let fly. As he walked towards her, it obvious that his steps were slow. Not because he was afraid, but more so the fact that he had absorb the information he was seeing. As soon as he got close enough, he finally managed to say something. "....Why were you out there?"

Watching her opponent across the pool table take his two shots, the sudden appearance of a certain other blonde charging his way in certainly brought a light amount of surprise to Mia's face, but more out of confusion and curiosity than anything else, tipping her head to the side. Clearly not as alarmed or flustered as he seemed to be, the question took a second to truly register, letting out a slow breath and resting her cue against the table. "Er...someone feel free to take my place."
Stepping away from the table, Mia rubbed the back of her neck with her remaining hand, her gaze a bit dull as she walked over to Conrad, somewhat a sense of tiredness resting behind her eyes. "What you talkin' about squirt...? Why was I where?"

"YOU GOTTA LEARN COMING OUT HERE! INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM!" Conrad just stared for a few seconds when Mia asked her question, just as she did when he asked his. She was so distant now, like she was tired, although her body showed no such signs of exhaustion. A man who acted logical would assume she was partially drunk, and had come back at a better time.
Unfortunately, Conrad wasn't logical when he was being normal, let alone when in stress. He was visibly calmer than earlier, although he still seemed to keep looking around as if confused. Motioning towards where her former arm used to be, Conrad was as blunt as ever, although his voice was more with drawn than usual. "What were you doing near....Whatever it was did this to you? Why would you go near something that strong?"

The gesture to her arm...weirdly stung, though she couldn't be entirely sure why. Maybe it was the blunt nature of the gesture, the fact everyone in the bar had been respectful enough just to let her do her thing...or maybe they were just scared to ask incase she reacted poorly. She couldn't be sure really. Reaching across to the pool table, she took her half finished glass from the edge, sipping from it as she moved towards an empty booth-table at the side of the bar, having to gesture with the same arm holding her Glass for Conrad to follow.
"Can't say I know really..." A boring answer perhaps, but it was true. Sliding into the booth she crossed one of her legs onto the other, ankle resting on knee as she placed her drink on the table, finger lightly tapping at the glass as her tired eyes watched the liquid lightly shiver. "League havn't debriefed me on it yet...apparently I was on some mission for them but they're waiting till I've fully recovered to gimme any of the details..." Her eyes shifted up, forcing a faint smirk. "And you? Aren't you usually out and about swinging your sword? What makes me deserve a visit?"

"YOU GOTTA LEARN COMING OUT HERE! INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM!" Conrad was yet again bewildered and caught off guard by Mia's comments. What she had said made no sense. They sent her on a mission, but didn't tell her a single detail and now are still refusing to tell her after their failure to inform her got her injured! Informing a person of what their mission was had to be step one!
Conrad had to admit, her asking what made her worth a visit stung a bit. She was the Big Sister of the underground and that was no exaggeration. Conrad, along with many many others, saw her as a literal sibling. How could he have not dropped a mere gym challenge to challenge her? "I was in Alto when I heard of what happened. I rushed here to make sure you were okay."

Heh...so he dipped in from out of town huh? She wondered if he actually had a teleporting pokemon or had to do it the long way. She felt a bit sorry for him if it was a long journey, even if most of Liggs was worried about her she...on some level she didn't think she really deserved all the attention and worry, but she shook the thought away and forced a faint smile, lifting her drink and taking a soft sip. "Well, hope the journey wasn't too rough just to hear I'm doing okay...apparently they're already mapping out my nerves or some shit so I can get a new arm. League even offered to pay for it so it dosn't affect my insurance." She smiled a little more at that...was good knowing the league had her back after...well, whatever had happened.
"How's you?" She asked, quickly wanting to shift the topic off of her, just so she didn't feel like she was drowning in self pity. "You still challenging gyms? I hope so. Don't wanna hear a liggs-kid gave up on the challenge."

"YOU GOTTA LEARN COMING OUT HERE! INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM!" Conrad was admittedly relieved to hear the Pokemon League was restoring her arm. That was the very LEAST she deserved after loosing it because of their negligence. This time Mia's topic switch managed to work, Conrad wanted to reassure her he hadn't given up. "I haven't challenged any recently. I'm still trying to build up my team, and while most of them are ready.... our newest is kinda fighting me on it. He doesn't listen to me at all." He admitted, smiling nervously trying to hide his depression about his relationship with his Litten. He was the first thing it saw, and tried his best to train it to be stronger but the cat just wouldn't listen to him at all. The two constantly butted heads and it was getting to the point where Conrad was beginning to wonder if he really could train the pokemon. He just hoped Mia wouldn't see past his mask.

Just working on a team? That was understandable. Mia hadn't had the problem for a while but it was understandable when someone was. Heck some people built whole teams for specific gyms afterall so it was pretty easy to understand. "Well it's a shame to hear about the Litten. I got an incineroar who's pretty likeable...maybe a good idea to get the two to meet? Let the birds of a feather bicker and knatter, try and get the Litten on your side maybe?" It seemed like a weird idea when she said it that way but it seemed sensible enough in her head. Conrad Dracul

"YOU GOTTA LEARN COMING OUT HERE! INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM!" Conrad admittedly grew excited at her proposal. He was completely unaware that her diversionary tactics were working, moving him further and further away from the subject. But how could one blame him? Observing one could not be sure if even Mia was aware she was doing it. No sign showed she was trying to force him away from the conversation, she just kept talking naturally. It was almost like she was completely oblivious to her own self defense.
Regardless Conrad was excited to have a chance to improve his pokemon's relationship with his own. He would hop to his feet showing his old energy. "That would be awesome! Can we go now!?" He asked as he grinned wildly, unable to hold back any of his energy as his legs bounced a bit, his body seeming like it could explode at any moment.

Mia blinked a little at Conrad's excitement, having only meant the offer to be a "sometime in the future" offer, but hey if Conrad was up for it? Mia looked to the bar, giving the bartender a light signal to ask if her tab was good. He was a pretty understanding guy though, and even if it wasn't he knew Mia would be good for it, and he certainly wasn't going to say no now of all times. With a nod, Mia pushed up from the table and nodded towards the door. "Come on them, left 'em back at the gym but they'd be happy for the company."
Pulling out of the bar, Mia adjusted her jacket and made sure the knot in her now useless sleeve was nice and tight before they started moving, looking over her shoulder to make sure Conrad was following and giving them a soft smile. "You ain't been to the gym for a while, remember the way?~" Of course she was leading the way anyway, but it seemed like a fun enough tease.
