the roar of a distant waterfall is the only thing that interrupts the peace of ever grande. there, waiting on a path they had walked together years ago is alexander, a man whose time had once ended only to be renewed.[break][break]

the commissioner would know of illeana reyes's incident in the border just mere hours ago. how the head professor had ventured in, found his wandering spirit, and brought him home.[break][break]

footsteps off the path call for his attention. he turns, greeting an old friend with a smile.[break][break]

"dahlia goode."[break][break]

formalities died with him but just as he did, they will return eventually.[break][break]

"oh, it is so good to see you again."[break][break]

it is surreal experience. to stand on the same grounds as ALEXANDER STONE once again. the winds of ever grande pick up like surrealist swathes painted by a dreamed smeargle.[break][break]

she is unsure if the man before her is real, phantom or fake. she knows the answer, but her mind continues to play multiple choice.[break][break]

"good to see you too, alexander." dahlia says. "i can't believe you're back."[break][break]

the commissioner moves closer, heels hastening as reality begins to settle like a focusing lens.

"so much has changed." [break][break]

[attr="class","stonemain"]he moves closer as well, meeting her with open arms as he considers this a meeting between friends, not colleagues.

"that it has."

it all feels so real that it borders on being surreal, as though he could blink and suddenly wake up in another realm.

he takes her in.

"how are you? you look like you haven't aged a day."

the embrace is short, but sweet. just long enough to impart a warmth not of the flesh, but of some sentimental destiny. she smiles.[break][break]

though, somehow, the reunion seems bittersweet. in a way, time has been lost.[break][break]

she pulls away and shakes her head at the insinuation.[break][break]

"not at all. just make up." dahlia says. "but regardless, how can i compare my face to yours? you came back from the dead."[break][break]

in the distance, her mr. rime stands and surveys the seas.[break][break]

"are you able to slow down, then?" dahlia asks. "you better not be back at work."[break][break]

[attr="class","stonemain"]"admittedly, i've started to get back into it."

he chuckles.

"but i think i will be continuing my leave of absence. at least from any official roles."

the decision is still filled with a level of uncertainty and it shows in the way he looks at her.

"i would still like to be involved and help, however, in any way i can."

"you've been given a second chance," the commissioner says, "and i'd like you to treasure it."[break][break]

around them, red spider lilies sway in the quiet breeze. legends have it that these scarlet bloom when one sees someone they may never meet again. on the path, they remain.[break][break]

she wonders if it's another omen.[break][break]

"you should leave hoenn, alexander. find a new home you can settle and live out your life in. i can't guarantee your safety here... even as commissioner."[break][break]

[attr="class","stonemain"]on this path or any other, they remain.

"that's our curse, is it not? to be unable to step away. to persist and fight even when all roads seem as though they lead to ruin. but still, even then, we stay."

a gentle breeze carries past them.

"i can't leave, dahlia. not like this."

"death can't even stop you?"[break][break]

the commissioner laughs and the soft wind carries the sound carefully. a smile rests on her lips: the softest imprint of a somber introspection.[break][break]

"i should have known."[break][break]

dahlia sighs, only allowing a petal's worth of guilt to slip.[break][break]

"then what would you like to do? train new pokemon? scold naive officers and rangers who step out of line?"[break][break]

"oh, nothing as crude as that, no. besides, i'm sure i've done my fair share of scolding."

some would argue more than enough for one lifetime.

"are you in need of an advisor?"

inevitably, her high station leaks through into their conversation. it is a ceaseless fount. the waters must remain sparkling yet glacial cold as they course through the cracks of her forsaken friendships: a filigree crafted not by the warm hand of an artist, but by a sad and required pragmatism.[break][break]

"why do you ask? are you advocating for yourself to be one?" she is quick to lift the motive.[break][break]

[attr="class","stonemain"]the motive is lifted but he seeks to elevate it further.

"only if you'll have me."

through all the criticism she has stood her ground and fought for the people. she has proven herself time and time again and yet, they question. they doubt.

"you're one of my closest friends, dahlia, and i want to be there for you the same way you have for me."

[attr="class","stonemain"]this is where their opinions divide, leaving them stranded on a path that branches into two, both equally as daunting if only because it would mean potentially forsaking the other.

"they don't always have to be."

even if he could try to blend the lines, he knows the confines of her position well enough.

"which would you prefer?"

"oh, they don't always have to be." the commissioner's eyes swing toward the surf. ever grande's shape is remembered by the violence and aftermath of wave and foam. "but when they are, it does not last."[break][break]

she waves her hand at him. not to dispel magic or pull away the curtain, but to draw the veil.[break][break]

"we will be professional." the commissioner says. "that is all."[break][break]
