it's a dangerous line to walk without revealing too much, so he considers his words carefully, filtering through a few thoughts before settling on one.[break][break]

he looks back up at her.[break][break]

Hopelessness.
[Break][break]
Desperation.
[Break][break]
Those are feelings she had gotten all too familiar with after leaving Kalos. And, when similar stories came her way, those feelings would return with them.
[Break][break]
"Still..."
[Break][break]
If she gave them leeway, would that open room for some herself? Would the sympathy she felt for the organization bleed into something more?
[Break][break]
"It'd take a lot to justify it. At least for me."
[Break][break]
She tilted her head, a question popping up in her head.
[Break][break]
"What do you think? About rocket."

chills creep up on him as she asks her question.[break][break]

"i think they should leave hoenn the fuck alone."[break][break]

it's said jokingly as expressed by a chuckle that follows, but as he mulls her question over, his expression stills for a moment.[break][break]

"for all the bad they've done and continue to do, they've also helped people, given them money, purpose, and a life they would've otherwise never gotten."[break][break]

he shrugs.[break][break]

"it's complicated."

"Ah-greed," She cheered, teasing alongside him.
[Break][break]
But, as his tone shifted back to a more serious tone, so did her expression.
[Break][break]
Why was he so adamant about sympathizing with them? Sure, she understood where they're coming from more than a lotta other people, but still...
[Break][break]
Maybe someone close to him joined the org? And now, stuck with that information, he's trying to make sense of it? Gnawing on the inside of her cheeks, she kept at thought for a moment after he finished.
[Break][break]
"I guess," She relented, again. "But, I don't know, they've also hurt as many people as they've helped. Destruction of property, forcibly rehoming people who don't agree with their ideology, murdering or torturing anyone that stands in their way-- those aren't the most reassuring foundations for change."

but who allows those murders and tortures to happen? who enables them? rocket's ideology positions itself directly against the league, preaching gospels of how the league has failed the people.[break][break]

but, imagine for a second a world where there were no incompetencies within the league. that everything they do was right and just. would rocket still exist then? would these unjustifiable crimes still happen?[break][break]

"yeah, no, i agree."[break][break]

he nods, finally smiling.[break][break]

"i'm looking forward to the day when hoenn finally has peace. if that's even achievable."

"It is."
[break][break]
Was it? Maybe. It was hard to say-- things felt so fucked up lately, that even a single year's worth of peace felt like a sweet deal.
[break][break]
"I hope it is, at least."
[break][break]
Rising up from the dirt, she took a few steps toward Cian and reached out her hand.
[break][break]
"Let's head towards the graveyard. Hopefully, we can find something over there instead, cause I doubt we'll find anything else here."

"i hope so, too."[break][break]

gods, he hopes. he'd give mostly anything for a sliver of peace even if it's short-lived.[break][break]

smiling, he reaches for her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.[break][break]

"Always," She winked, jokingly.
[break][break]
Truth be told, Penelope was uncomfortable around certain ghost types. It was something about their corporal form that always spooked her out-- that and their often-horrifying pokedex entries.
[break][break]
It was a brief stroll to the graveyard, taking no more than a handful of minutes. Once they arrived, Penelope's grip would subconsciously tighten.
[break][break]
"This should be it."
[break][break]
Slow, cautious, her sharp gaze surveyed the surrounding area, giving the top and bottom of each tombstone a quick glimpse before hopping to the next.
[break][break]
"It really is spooky out here."

his grip tightens as well as he surveys the many tombstones that await them. their inscriptions are etched in stone but they appear almost smooth from afar.[break][break]

"it feels disrespectful to say but graveyards really creep me out."[break][break]

it's less about death and more about what lies beyond that. the existence of ghost pokemon should confirm the existence of ghosts and spirits. to think about all the lives lost; how many of them linger?[break][break]

he approaches one of the tombstones. it's for an arcanine, apparently.[break][break]

"have you ever lost a pokemon?"

Quiet, Penelope slowly nodded in agreeance.
[break][break]
Similar to Cian, it hurt to gnaw on what came past death. It often led her back to Evelyn -- was she happy now? Is her soul still transversing this earth, lingering in the same spiteful way some spirits do? Or is she at peace? A shudder ran down Penelope's back as she swallowed down these unwanted questions.
[break][break]
"No, I haven't." Her voice fell softer than before, partly due to the goosebumps that crawled up her arms, and partly due to not wanting to come across as disrespectful in the eyes of the dead. "How about you?"

"not yet."[break][break]

but he's not dreading it, surprisingly. even if he shares close bonds with his pokemon, they pale in comparison to the ones he shares with people.[break][break]

his voice falls softer as well.[break][break]

Full pause.
[Break][break]With another ginger squeeze, Penelope slowly turned to face Cian again, concern spread out all over her features. He had mentioned her before -- back when they were pecuring crystabloom samples. She sounded like such a radiant woman.
[Break][break]
"What was she like?"
[Break][break]
It was a tough question to ask anyone. But, she hoped he'd find the same comfort she did back in that forest; the comfort of keeping her memory alive through another person.

"kind. caring. stubborn. fuck, so stubborn. she always got her way."[break][break]

it worked in their favor, though, because she acted as their guardian angel and made sure they had the best things. he's pretty sure she talked their way into enrolling them into one of the best schools in slateport.[break][break]

"she was my biggest fan. she'd wake up so early just to drive me to practice. she came to all my races. made sure her voice was the loudest in the crowd."[break][break]

he draws circles on her skin with his thumb.[break][break]

"the only reason i ran was for her. to make her happy."[break][break]

to make her proud.

Their scars, while different in more than one way, held an unfathomable amount of similarities that sometimes made Penelope question that stupid little survey she took earlier that day.
[Break][break]
Was fate real? Were they meant to seek comfort in one another in this way? It often felt that way.
[Break][break]
Swallowing down these thoughts, she offered the man another reassuring squeeze and smile.
[Break][break]
"She would be so proud of you."
