[you know, archie was perfectly content to just let whatever was happening happen as he did some of his work in one of the studies. he'd kind of expected something like this to happen in the wake of jill leaving again, and mipha is mercifully not around to suffer through it and try to mediate the way he knows she'd want to, regardless of her own feelings. he barely pays attention to what he can hear of the argument, though he does wince a little when he hears guzma go off on sun for not being the right one.

that said, it's the snap of a two pokéballs opening that finally makes him get up and do something. he stabs the carving knife he was using into his desk and saunters out, trying to act like he's not half as concerned and pissed about this as he actually is.]

What the fuck are you doing?! All four of you! [yeah he's including the pokémon in this.] Go outs--

[okay. he notices the bottle. smells the persistent aroma of booze. did not realise guzma had hit it that hard.]

Sun, [he starts off again, putting on his best Dad Voice mixed with Leader Voice.] There's some lunch in the fridge. I still owe you one, so go help yourself. Please return Dong in the meantime, he won't fit in there.

[back to guzma... archie figures the best thing is time out for this one.]

Golisopod! Whichever ball you're in, come out! [he says, firmly. god, he hopes anyone present listens to even one thing he's saying or it'll be embarrassing.] Guzma needs a timeout!

[FINALLY:] Scizor, I believe you have the self-control and poise to be able to battle in here without breaking anything, but goin' outside might be better. Crobat was lookin' for ya.
