"fernan--..." her vision mistaken by the silhouette for another, she then rephrased, "blackwell," songbird called by his last name. soft, hazel eyes remained unchanged--narrowed. she remained upon the edge of the roof, her hands clasped behind her back. "you still doubt me, don't you..." songbird asked, "whether you do or do not isn't of my concern. i'm with rocket now because i need..." she paused, trying to spew her next words but possessed trouble. she knew what she wanted to say, but couldn't vocally speak it. "my brother...did something, and i haven't told anyone from the league about it, but..." she was unaware of NIKOLAI PETROV 's past nor to the reason as to why the sootpolis gym and its people suffered. she just knew who was behind it all. "i don't know if joining rocket was the best decision, but...i can't trust the league anymore--especially him." her brother's actions have become questionable, and so it's become harder to understand as to why rocket and league were fighting to begin with. the rockets were truly horrible people, but why did they do what they did? and as for the league, were they any better? did they also plan to destroy the sootopolis gym? there were too many questions that went unanswered. "i've met kind people back at the league, but...i've learned people are only kind to you when they're gaining something out of it." her body remained frozen in place--unmovable even. evelyn, then, asked, "tell me SILAS BLACKWELL ...what is it that you wish to gain in the end?" she bluntly asked. ooc notes: hi daddy silas.
