“Hmm,” she started, briefly thinking. Really, she had not expected any kinds of deeper discussions today. Heck, she was still very much lounging on the back of her Lapras. But she was getting a little more invested in this conversation. Hence, she gave it a bit more thought for the time being.

After all, this whole journey was kind of linked to that, in a way. “I am not too sure, actually. I mean, my job had always been decided for me. And I do like singing. Part of why I am travelling is to find out whether or not my passion for it is real, if that makes sense. Am I truly living my own dream, or am I living mother’s? That sort of thing. Though so far, I have not felt my passion lessening, so maybe those two things might just be the same as well.”

Evette's words hit Sam's soul and rippled across his consciousness like an earthquake.

"I find it difficult to separate my desires from my mother's as well."

His eyes moved to his gastly, who was congratulating the workers by dancing around and licking them. To help lessen their discomfort, he returned his gastly and minimized the capsule before putting it in his pocket.

"I've always helped my mother with her job, ever since I was born I've been helping in some way. Be it a comfort to her when the emotional toil of our line of work burdened her soul, or physically being able to help when I became of age."

Sam honestly hadn't expected this conversation, but it felt good.

"But as I grow older, I weigh my responsibility as her son and my own dreams and the balance seems so evenly matched, it's hard to tell which is my true desire. Or, possible, is it both? Am I equally drawn to being the caretaker and equally drawn to helping others with the passing of their loved ones?"

With a breath, and a few seconds of thought, Sam's conclusion was solid.

"I believe both can be of equal value, as they have been for most of my life. And maybe one day, one with outweigh the other, and it will garner my full attention. But for the time being, they remain even."

Passing of loved ones? Oh. Ohhhhh. Suddenly, Eve felt a little bit stupid at least. It was probably because she did not know the significance of that mountain. At least not well enough to realize what he actually meant when he called himself a caretaker. But things certainly were falling into place now. This did a lot more sense, really. Fortunately, she had not said much in that regard, so she probably wouldn’t look silly or insensitive to the other. Best to keep that under wraps for now. Fortunately, she had been looking up at the sky in this moment, so she could downplay it a little.

So, she simply listened for the time being. His words did make a lot of sense, after all. Though she was not quite sure if they fully applied to her. No two lives were the same, of course. So it made a lot of sense for them to be talking with one another, but effectively around each other. That was just life. “Hmm, similar. Though for me it is the same. Or maybe not. I sometimes think mother is more interested in the fame that I could earn, while I would be happy just to sing for few people, or just for myself.” Or maybe even not at all. It had been a while, hadn’t it? Maybe she would do something at this big festival she’d heard about. That seemed like a good place to go after this.

Evette couldn’t laze like this forever. “If you ask me, as long as we feel content like this, it can’t really be all that wrong, now can it?”

The job had come to an end and Sam was left standing next to a girl and her lapras with a decent conversation between them. He'd finished what he had start out to help with and now he could either begin heading home, or keep working. A glance at his watch told him that he needed to get heading home.

Talk of contentment made Sam's stomach turn in a weird way. Not really like he was embarrassed, but more like he was anxious. He'd been content his whole life, or so he thought. He hadn't had much of anybody in his life that really 'rocked his world' or turned it upside down and made him question his life choices.

Some would argue he hadn't lived because that hadn't happened.

Some would argue his standards weren't high enough and that's why he was content.

"I suppose."

Sam wasn't entirely sure he wanted to get into a heated philosophical debate. Which is what the conversation would have turned into, on his side at least. Because Sam didn't believe it was right to assume contentment could be put in alignment with something being 'right' or 'wrong.'

That's how this whole 'league' and 'rocket' mess started to begin with. He wasn't a hippy, he knew they couldn't just 'get along.' But he also didn't understand why they had to go to the lengths of sacrifice to prove a point. Could nobody just sit down and have a conversation? Figure out each other's sides and find a compromise?

Apparently not; thus, war.

"I'm afraid it's time for me to start heading back to Mt. Pyre. But it was a pleasure to meet you, Evette. I hope that you find your way without much struggle."

He supposed, heh? The answer of the non-comittal and finished people. It was the number one conversation killer in her experience. They might not end right away, sure. But once the words were uttered, the killing blow had been struck already. She could feel it bleed out on the warm waves beneath, words disintegrating into the waters.

The man fell silent briefly, probably thinking about grave matters. Naturally, she could not follow him there. Instead, she simply lounged on her Lapras, listening to the soft sounds of the oceans, feeling the slight, rhythmic movement beneath. The young man eventually returned from his darkness, but clearly had been impacted by it enough. He wanted to break the conversation of then and there. Probably to have some time with his thoughts.
Yeah, she was insightful sometimes. Thing was though, Eve never did anything with that insight. Instead, she allowed him to have his alone time. Not like she had any right to intervene anyway.

“It was a pleasure indeed. Maybe we will meet again when I visit your mountain. If it was not on my list before, it is now.” She raised a hand in a lazy, but genuine wave. “Alola~.”

Although it was lazy, Sam could tell it was genuine, and because of that he glanced at his own hand and then raises it and wills it to return the gesture.

It's not terribly good but he's a quick learner, so it's not an atrocious attempt either.

"Alola."

After his close, Sam turned toward the logs and headed for the nearest dock. He needed to get back on land, or perhaps to a taxi to get back to the mountain. As quickly as possible, if he could manage.
