ALL CONSUMING SELF INDUCING [SOLO WILD]
POSTED ON Jul 24, 2021 7:22:17 GMT
 A day off. Few and far between now. He'd recalled fondly his hikes with Remiel and King. One turned into something of a quest on its own, the other merely shooting the shit with someone at work. Both trips accomplished just as little as when he skipped stones across the water with Jayden. Those hikes nonetheless saw him orders of magnitude more confident and capable of articulating himself. Was he just weak around people who he felt a strong connection with? That wouldn't account for the friends at work. For how he wanted to be strong for them, for various reasons. For his almost brotherly rivalry with King. For the senior members who took a chance on him. It also wouldn't account for how quickly he rebounded, and found a date. How he wanted to be strong for that woman. How he wanted to pick her up and... And... speaking of weakness and connections, it pained him to think about what his foolishness cost Chryssa. No apology could ever do justice to that. To a child walking with a cane because a bunch of self-important adults had a pissing match with their respective fire types. Giona participated in that too, he was just the most impotent of them all. She stuck her neck out for him nonetheless. A child did that for an adult. It put a knot in his stomach, as he walked to the east from his home on the edge of town. Just thinking about it had his eyes burning a hole in the side of the mountain, leaving an onlooker concerned. Having moved into Rustboro, he set up camp. Not just a gym, a destination for school field trips. He'd also set up a new home. Lived in, to be sure. Chances are, he was going to regret leaving it in the charge of Rowlet and Ivysaur. The road to the east was fascinating. A place where the pavement slowly tapered off, until there was only grass. A dirt trail went on for the next half mile, and culminated in a rest stop for miners, who went to work on Rusturf Tunnel. Going further, he found himself inside the cave. Giona saw fit to let out Sableye for a walk. A little imp native to Dewford Cave. It no longer clung to his finger with its whole hand. It scampered off, like a dog turned loose on a ranch. Giona lagged behind somewhat, slowly walking after Sableye. He seemed lost. He'd even gotten his wires crossed about getting his wires crossed at this point. Couldn't even find a reprieve from the kind of restless nature that undergirded someone like Theo. Like all of his pokemon, who feared and respected him in equal measure. The little imp chattered to wake him from his dazed state. Sableye made this odd grunt. Like a duck. It'd found something, and Giona saw fit to follow it. "Oh. Thanks. This is like when Espurr gifts me a hair-ball." |
