[attr="class","stonemain"]he spins, laughing as he does.

"i'm okay. all limbs in tact, body whole, mind still sane for the most part."

his hand finds her shoulders, reassuring her.

"i guess i should explain how i'm back."

"have you heard of the border?"

[attr="class","stonemain"]"i don't know, freya."

he admits with a quiet sigh.

"i'm not sure what you're expecting, but i can't give you an answer. the most i can do is listen. so, let me ask you this."

"what do you want from me?"

[attr="class","stonemain"]"i've tried," he responds, somber at first, "but i found that the world doesn't wait for me. it moves on, and rightfully so."

his gallade shifts suddenly, turning to send a PSYCHO CUT at the darkness on the other side of the room. and then another. and another. but it's no use in stopping the swarm that rushes toward them.

"—!"

[attr="class","stonemain"]"can't or won't?"

because she has changed—the extent possible, he's not too sure. perhaps she is held back by the ghosts of her past; by grief too heavy for one person to bear.

[attr="class","stonemain"]she shudders and he can feel his defenses starting to drop. the urge rises to reach out and comfort her but he refrains for now, choosing to fill the distance with more words.

"i saw differently at dinner," as much as it pains him to say, "you two looked as though you were one. aligned, connected, and together."

he asks,

"what changed?"

[attr="class","stonemain"]"i'll pick up where i left off. well, as much as i can, anyway."

because some may not require him; a ghost of the past; some may have already moved on.

like illeana, for example.

"the league needs all the help it can get."

[attr="class","stonemain"]like a trained politician, he avoids giving her a straightforward response, knowing that the truth delivered in that manner, as blunt or honest as it may be, would only hurt her more.

"you're passionate, really passionate, and stubborn and prideful and loving." he speaks from the heart, genuine and honest. "but i think deep down you're afraid of getting hurt...of losing people as you have before...and that causes you to isolate yourself."

as she has done before and will likely do again.

"what happened with KING WAYLAND?"

[attr="class","stonemain"]her question is met with silence at first as he finds it hard to gather the words because, in truth, he's not entirely sure himself.

"i don't think i'll ever stop feeling like a stranger."

a ghost.

"but i don't think it was a mistake, no. despite all that has happened, i'm glad to be back."

[attr="class","stonemain"]she perches on the edge of the couch and he does the same by the desk, pushing research and notes out of the way before turning to look at her.

her question is met with a brief chuckle and a pause.

"it isn't fair, no."

he crosses his arms over his chest.

"how honest do you want me to be?"

[attr="class","stonemain"]"you're right. i'm just being overly cautious, i suppose."

but he cannot shake the feeling that they'll still be sitting ducks even with all the tools that they have.

he sighs, then decides to share a thought meant only for them.

"do you think i made a mistake coming back?"

whether he means to the league, to hoenn, or to the land of the living, he leaves the choice to her to decide.

[attr="class","stonemain"]perhaps it would be wiser to turn her away, to set professional boundaries between the councilwoman and the advisor, but the thought fades instantly, discarded like trash.

he nods, inviting her into his home, and leading them through lonesome halls chalked full of stone history and into his study.

a fire burns, providing warmth and light in the otherwise dark room. he gestures to the couch, past a shelf with fine alcohol, and makes a conscious decision not to offer her a drink unless she asks.

"do you want to talk about it?"

[attr="class","stonemain"]despite his best efforts, worry plagues his features as he opens the door to his home, not knowing what to expect. he knows she needs him, but what else beyond that, he wonders.

is she hurt? no, she doesn't look hurt. just exhausted and leaning toward vacant.

"you look awful."

shades of her isolation still haunt him.

"what happened?"

[attr="class","stonemain"]"it's not dying i'm afraid of."

he has survived death.

"it has been years and there is still so much we don't know about them. about this place. about what they want."

her presence is comforting. he returns the squeeze of her hand.

"they could attack us tomorrow and we'd be as clueless as we were last time, save for the knowledge of ultra beasts we have now."
