"and what are your beliefs?"
[Break][break]
The question is spurred on by genuine curiosity. What made the selfless so boundless with their actions? What gave them the strength to push forward, regardless of the conclusions awaiting their turn.
[Break][break]
Clutching onto her drink, the councilwoman stared at her advisor with rapt attention.
[Break][break]
"To do good? To be good?"

"to be the good i want to see in the world, in hopes that others would follow."[break][break]

it's a skill to be able to speak such words into existence and not have them fall flat or into cringe territories, but perhaps it's his tenure and experience that helps keep them afloat.[break][break]

his lips shape into a small grin, accompanied by a chuckle.[break][break]

"is that inspiring enough for you, councilwoman?"

Once, a long time ago.

But people change, Hoenn changes, all marching in tandem with the never-ending carousel of danger.

"it isn't so much that you will them to. that feels too forceful. there's a difference between inspiring, commanding, and leading."[break][break]

he sips, tilting his body toward PENELOPE LIVY in a manner that shows how engaged he is in their conversation. she holds his full attention, undivided.[break][break]

"Of course," Her shoulders raise along with her drink, alcohol stinging the back of her throat with ease. Poison attracts poison in that way. "But, regardless of how you label it, there's madness to found in your case."
[break][break]

Just as she held his attention, Alexander wielded hers. Eyes brightly twinkling over the rim of her glass, the councilwoman stole another sip before continuing.

"To die, fighting for a cause, hoping your sacrifice will stir change. And when it doesn't, and you're revived, you rush to fulfill the same prophecy? "

"oh, i'm in no rush now, penelope."[break][break]

he will not make the same mistake again; not so much with his death but more so with how he had chosen to spend his time living. before, he had been too devoted in his work, unable to step away to even breathe. now, he approaches similar territories but remains aware enough to distance himself when needed.[break][break]

it's partly why he was absent during the battle on the resurfaced island, and why he will continue to be absent in the future.[break][break]

"i didn't sacrifice myself to inspire nor for any cause. none of that mattered when it came down to it. in that moment when your life hangs on the thinnest of threads, everything becomes black and white. you either die or you don't."[break][break]

he leans in closer without realizing.[break][break]

"i died fighting alongside the morningstars defending our home. in that regard, i'm no different than the thousands who died doing the same."

Memories burned beneath the surface. A flash of fire, a rush of air, then nothing at all - for once, she could remember it all. Every scorched second spent plummeting from The Border, only to be forced to claw her way back to life. All at once, she had felt peace and agony, pain and relief.
[break][break]

"Died defending our home, sure. But what of your life before then?"
[break][break]

Where he moved, she remained still, resolve cementing her in place. These thoughts weren't a sudden surge spurred on through conversation - experience had chiseled them, piece by piece. They were an accumulation of a year of service, and a decade of experience.
[break][break]

"What actual change did your inspiration create?"

what change did he inspire?[break][break]

he takes a moment to think back to his days as gym leader, then on the council, and then later as champion. his long tenreu with the league should have given him an answer to her question already but when he comes up short, he cannot help but laugh in disbelief.[break][break]

"to be honest with you, i'm not sure."[break][break]

he sips, mulling it over.[break][break]

"enough change, i hope, but the more realistic answer is not enough."

And yet he smiles so confidently.
[break][break]

It was both inspiring and frustrating, all at once. ALEXANDER STONE wasn't just a reflection of what PENELOPE LIVY wanted to be, but the person she'd lost. He was the light Hoenn had snuffed out.

his head shakes with gentle defiance that paves way for acceptance.[break][break]

"my fate doesn't matter this time around. i've had my chance, my story has been told, but yours is still being written."[break][break]

he looks at PENELOPE LIVY, wondering.[break][break]

"what of yourself, penelope? what are you seeking to create?"

So he's given up. Forwent his chance to redefine the life already lived. To improve upon what was done with the mold of what could be.

"I plan to do what you couldn't."
[break][break]
Finally, she relented, leaning forward just close enough to draw suspense. Gold vibrated around her pupils, caught in a bitter dance between walking corpse of the same deathbed. This wasn't a conversation between friends; this was a one-sided war. A feud between a bloodhungry conqueror and war-torn hero.
[break][break]
"Wherever that may lead me, time can only tell."
