It was painfully ironic.
[break][break]

While the shine they'd left behind had allowed itself to flourish in a way she hadn't expected, their friendship, which once held this similar vibrance of resilience, was now teetering off death's door.
[break][break]

"It does," she nodded, agreeance shadowing the bitterness that laced her saliva. To his question, she reached into her back, rustling along its insides until pulling out a can of beer. Another still sat in the pouch. "here."

"better."
[Break][break]
A blatant lie. Since their last meeting at her office, things had only continued to spiral worse for the councilwoman. Between her ugly affairs and visions of ruination, there was little hope still left to be had. Everything had already turned ugly and bleak.
[Break][break]
Though, she knew better than to divulge more than Greyson wanted to hear. Experience had forced her wise.

he has little reason to doubt Penelope's words. who expected a friend to lie to them?
[Break][break]
"it's going really well," he says, unable to keep the doofus-level smile from his face.[break][break]

"we spent today at the library, actually. i told her about romance game, y'know, the one you put me on, and the commissioner's route."
[Break][break]
had Penelope done that one?
[Break][break]
"it talked about zacian, and zamenzenta, and she instantly wanted to help. so, we've been collecting data. what precious little there is, at least."

That was good. Despite all that shit that always seemed hellbent of dragging them through the mud, they'd found comfort in each other.
[Break][break]
Greyson deserved it, too.
[Break][break]
"That's nice," she said, smiling. Though, for all the politeness she shared, there was no denying the trickle of ENVY that followed.
[Break][break]
Though months separated them from their shared past, she still recalled being asked to maintain shrines of those same entities. Back then, wasn't it him who asked for her assistance? Or were her memories spinning her back into a fool.
[Break][break]
Regardless, she swallowed it down.
[Break][break]
"Any progress so far?"

"it's mostly speculation." though he hadn't expected anything different, it's still disappointing to leave with more questions, than answers.
[break][break]
"though, it did kind of lead us - mostly @anna talking me through - the path of the drk triad, necrozma, and even arceus."

he takes a sip of his beer, no less nonchalant than he had been before the words left his mouth.[break][break]

"Oh?"
[break][break]

Her lips twitched into a smile. Finally, something she could dig her fingers into.
[break][break]

"So you gave it a shot after all."
[break][break]

Danging the can of beer between her fingers, she listened as its insides sloshed against the can's inner walls.

only one of them had held up their end of the promise - oh well.

"i'm not sure, to be honest." i mean, what were the odds a romance game could speak to future events? "it's the biggest lead i've had in months, outside of that computer-realm. i don't have much to go on outside of it."

She had tried keeping her end of the deal, but it was nearly impossible. While he'd been assigned a 3 minute otome route, she'd been given a multi-volume series of something wildly outside the realms of her taste. So she tried. Just not for long.
[break][break]
"Can I ask you something?"
[break][break]
Tilting her head back, she allowed the balmy summer breeze to wash over them. It felt slick across her buzzing skin.
[break][break]
"Even if you did found them... What would you do?"
[break][break]
It was a question she had asked herself several times during her pursuit of Moltres - and yet, even then, she didn't hold much of an answer.

[attr="class","char-words"]the question brings him pause, beer can hovering just beneath his mouth. it comes down slowly to settle into his lap, and he folds his lip in thought.

"i'm not sure." he'd be lying if he said that he didn't consider the power that came with avatarship, like he's seen first hand so many times. but, as cool as that would be.. what would it cost him? or them?
[break]
[break]

"i think it'd be really.. awesome to kind-of see them in-person, y'know? like meeting your heroes?" he gives a lopsided grin at the unintentional joke. it sobers up ever so slightly as he continues. "if everything i know about them is true — which is precious little, as you know — then they're fighting for, and on the side of, peace and justice, and all of that." he shrugs, lifting the beer back towards his mouth.
[break]
[break]

"i'd want to help them however i could."

"What if..."
[break][break]

She starts, swallowing her question with another guzzle of beer. So much hope ladled greyson's response, turning his words more of twinkling thoughts of a naive boy than a man grounded by reality. Still, in a world so cruel, it felt nice to hear. Like a warm spring breeze after a winter of biting frost.
[break][break]

"What if they ask you to sacrifice a part of yourself? Would you do it?"
