[attr="class","uriah"]hoenn has faced much conflict — that much has been clear even before he stepped foot in this region. but to now be here, standing in front of memorials to mark the final resting places of many officers, rangers, and civilians, feels heavy.

but like usual, uriah deflects.

"why are we here?"

[attr="class","uriah"]it's only then that he raises a hand towards the memorial. fingers brush against stone, feeling the grooves of different names. there are a few he recognizes, but the majority are unknown.

"how generous of us."

his hand falls back to his side.

"they still see us as foreigners, don't they?"

gabriel is above petty squabbles, and off-handed comments. whether his son meant to insult him or not, means little.

he had a point, and the titan aimed to see it out.

"do you not remember my lessons? if you bring up an issue, follow it with a solution."

despite the clear chastizment in his tone, gabriel doesn't appear upset.

"what do you purpose?"

[attr="class","uriah"]he remembers the lessons all too well; he just chooses to forget them when most convenient.

still, he continues to speak his mind.

"you need to win them over, or at least convince them that you're one of them."

he squeezes the sponge but doesn't move it away from the bucket just yet.

"maybe start small? littleroot or oldale would probably appreciate your support."
