She should be feeling something. Anger, fear, grief, sorrow, something. But she's numb. There's a full-body tingle that's trapped her in her head. She's visted Freya's memorial, she's seen the letters carved into the stone, she's ran her fingers over the flowers that decorate it. But she feels nothing. The softness of the petals is missed, the crunch of the gravel beneath her feet is gone, the pain in her ears, her shoulder, her nose, is forgotten.[break][break]

This isn't real. Freya Morningstar isn't dead, she can't be. This wasn't happening.[break][break]

Emma stands, looming over the memorial. There's no expression on her face, just a blank stare. Footsteps behind her fall on deaf ears and a warning growl breaks the silence as

…as a grumpy-looking off-duty Ranger approaches. Having shed the traditional get-up he usually wears while working, he’s clothed in his usual fare—long brown overcoat, work and scuffed hiking boots, presentable inner dress clothes—as he approaches the monument.

While he didn’t know much about the members of the Council (having preferred to stay out of the Pyroar’s den, thank you very much), he was more than disturbed to see that there was an angry-looking Pokémon accompanying the stranger who was at the little memorial.

One of the larger estates in town had lost their heiress-apparent, and from what he’d heard from his Gym Leader friend this woman who’d died had the guts to speak up against the now-retired Water-type Gym Leader.

Ironically, said Gym Leader he’d fought alongside with in the Tentacruel Invasion, where—

— they had defeated the enraged pokémon and olivia had taken it into the sootopolis seas, protected by the shores of silver spire. it has been under research and rehabilitation and albeit her efforts make little progress, olivia is determined to see this through.

yet, her public appearance had to be kept up. olivia had not been able to pay her own respects to the council member whose position she had assumed. so imagine her surprise to see the ranger from that fateful day. “lars, was it?” she asked, approaching from behind with guluxaura, her jelliecent, at her side. the ghoulish jellyfish was attracted to —

-the unfamiliar and distinctly rocky smell of the Midnight-forme Lycanroc standing not too far away from a darkly-clothed individual. Or, perhaps, the Jellicent was attracted to both the woman and her Pokemon given how strange and out-of-place they seemed while standing next to the former councilwoman's memorial.[break][break]

Emma regards both individuals with cool indifference and makes a subtle gesture with her hand to the Pokemon at her side, who was presently still bristled with unease. Human interaction outside of his master wasn't common, and he remained ever vigilant and careful.[break][break]

The two appear to know one another and Emma takes this as a clear sign she should leave. Time had not been kind to her, it seemed, as she had very clearly chosen an improper time to weep quietly at Freya's grave. As uncomfortable as she is, however, Emma can't engineer a way out of the present situation, and instead remains motionless and on edge as she watches the pair.

“Yes,” he says quietly in the Gym Leader’s direction—he would have to make a mental note to put a challenge on her Gym before her supposed ‘retirement’ from the position.

Would he be able to get at least a battle with her before she retired? Putting the possibilities aside, he then turns to their other companion, eyebrows rising slightly.

It’s here he sees a canid-like Pokémon, and the random thought of the League’s #1 dog boy pops into his mind for the briefest of moments. Hearing the growling coming from the Pokémon that clearly belonged to the other woman, he wonders what’s up with her.

And for that matter, why does this lady look all dishelved? Like she’d been through the wringer. Turning his attention to the other lady, he clears his throat and then tries to smooth over the potential awkward silence with conversation.

“Did you know her—“ he begins in the dark-haired woman’s direction, hoping he’d get an answer—

— well? pardon us." olivia interrupted with a worried words. she really hadn't planned on getting in anyone's way. she had wanted to be noticed but not seen, or talked to. perhaps that was why this woman was here for. to go see a friend long gone, and remain unnoticed and unspoken to. poor thing.

she didn't have much to say, waiting for the woman and her odd wold like pokemon to make their move. her phantasmal jellyfish floated nearby the stench of death causing it to salivate with droplets of water. at least olivia hoped it was water and not —

- saliva, like the frothing substance that now lingered at the edge of Hades' mouth. His fangs remained bared, his tongue licking at them absently, anxiously, while he maintained intense eye-contact with the two strangers. Emma's anxiety and discomfort at being discovered was the main cause for his concern.[break][break]

"Briefly. But she's gone now, so it doesn't matter."[break][break]

Not even she, the woman who had always been strong and capable of masking her emotions and remaining indifferent, cold, calculating, could not hide the anguish in her voice. The truth of it was, she had loved her, loved her more than the world. It killed her that she hadn't been there to protect her. She'd promised.

Well, that at least answered something.

While the rest of the details were hazy, he remembered seeing the fallen Council member among the crowd during the kaiju attack on Slateport, although they weren’t in the same group that had fended off the gigantic Tentacruel from wrecking the port city to the ground so soon after it had barely reopened.

Looking over at the Gym Leader slightly and wondering if it was okay for him to talk, he looks at the other woman and sighs.

“At least you should know this—the last I heard from her, she helped lead the fight against one of the Tentacruel. After that, we lost track of things because things went south quickly,” he mutters, at an utter loss on what else to share.

At least he’d mentioned something. Looking over at Olivia, he hopes that she would back him up with his story, because—

— he was getting nervous. of course. never leave a man to do a job of any kind lest you want it done wrong. "again do forgive us as we did not wis-" olivia had began to say before a buzzing in her pocket alerted her to an emergency. a scowl quickly found itself strewn across her face, followed by a sigh.

she began to leave, her ghostly companion following behind as she called to those behind, "works has me busy, even now." and olivia never felt more grateful to get out of such an awkward —
