[attr="class","postruinstxt"]Was it ignorance, idiocy, or narcissism that led Matias to stand in-front of Greyson and critique his actions?

Incredulously, he can only stare at the Avatar before he laughs. It's broken, slow-to-start, and genuine. "You—" the words die in his throat, as action surges him forward. Carrying not a bit of the typical hate for Matias, Greyson swings.

"—fucking idiot!"

not this again.[break][break]

too tired to put up a decent fight, matias takes the punch, feeling the pain blossom underneath Greyson Connors's fist against his cheek that splits open from the impact. blood leaks as he steps back, not wanting to hurt the man.[break][break]

"the fuck was that for?"[break][break]

he growls.[break][break]

"if anything, i should be the one hitting you."

[attr="class","postruinstxt"]Pain of his own blossoms in his knuckles, and judging by the quick glance downwards, he'd dislocated at least one of them.

That was another problem. The one with two legs in-front of him was the primary concern.

"Look around you dumbass!"

He makes a quick, heated motion with one of his arms. His anger drives him a half-a-step backwards, attention shifting to that of which he's emphasizing.

The beachfront was in ruins, deep trenches gouged out of the earth; the pier and half of the ships docked floating in pieces; large tendrils of vines, the likes of which operated as makeshift walls, warped and ripped and torn. and that was only half of it.

"You're out of fucking control Matias. Had I not been here, you'd sunk half this god damn city. As it stands right now, this could cost the League millions in damages alone."

He drops his arm, replacing it with the other as he tosses a flippant disregarded motion.

"But hey, what the hell do you care? Really took your pound of flesh out there, huh? Fuck all the little people caught in the way of the great Matias Silph, chosen of Groudon."

He spits into the sand, eager to get any trace of his name from his tongue.

he barks back at Greyson Connors, lacking the same bite as their previous encounters.[break][break]

[attr="class","postruinstxt"]Silence stretches as Greyson breathes in, then out, letting the rage thin out with each exhale. When he speaks next the echo of anger still exists, but under significant control.

"History demands nothing of you. You are not Groudon." Chosen or not, the man had a choice. Whether or not he wanted to choose otherwise was entirely different.

"Since your and Groudon's... agreement, you've slowly descended into something unrecognizable. Yes, Mossdeep still stands, but if you destroy everything you're meant to protect, what's the point?"

with a deep breath, he stills the vortex of emotions that threaten to spill. when they're quiet enough, he looks back at the elite four.[break][break]

"before groudon,"[break][break]

he says in a tone that seems almost unrecognizable now, reflecting a similar sort of innocence Greyson Connors had carried with him that day on the ranch.[break][break]

"did you trust me?"

[attr="class","postruinsartlght"]

[attr="class","postruinstxt"]When had the last time these two had spoken like this? There was heat, and anger, sure — but more than that, there was something civil here.

But the memory he recalls sparks that angry, vile disgust.

"I trusted you even after Groudon, Matias." He pushes through clenched teeth. "It was after you assaulted my girl— annalise henderson, mocked me for it, and then attempted to kill me that we've become like this now."

Did he expect to trust him now?

the confusion is apparent in the way matias looks at his fellow elite four because he can barely remember any of those things. not the assault on annalise henderson, not how he mocked Greyson Connors for it, and certainly not the attempt at their life.[break][break]

is his mind that frail?[break][break]

"then i'm sorry."[break][break]

he says after a breath.[break][break]

"for all of that shit."

[attr="class","postruinstxt"] The earth was unwavering, unapologetic, and unforgiving. It was steadfast and resolute. It was a primordial force of nature.

Yet here before him the mountain bends. Greyson could only meet the statement with conflicted silence.

A year ago he would've taken the apology at face value, but now he wasn't even half as naive as before.

"You're sorry? Prove it." He doubts the Mountain would bend twice, but he presses on anyway. "Stay away from annalise henderson for good."

the continents may shift but they do not bend for Greyson Connors's ask; one so ridiculous that it almost makes him rescind everything he's said so far.[break][break]

"you ask for the impossible."[break][break]

his head shakes; his eyes reflect sorrow and longing, as though the thought of never being able to see annalise henderson again would break him.[break][break]

"she's my friend."

[attr="class","postruinstxt"] His own head shakes alongside Matias's.

"All the more reason you should leave her be; you're selfish, and destructive. You assaulted her, and you know damn well she's too forgiving to hold that against you."

Annalise looked for the good in others — Greyson knew better.

"So, I'll do it on her behalf. If you really are seeking forgiveness, then start with a little self-sacrifice."

silence befalls them, held by the weight of the ask, and for moments, he considers it as he knows it to be true; MATIAS SILPH is impulsive, selfish, and destructive. it would only be a matter of time until he hurts annalise henderson again, so what is asked of him is only right.[break][break]

"i'll talk to her."[break][break]

but even if it makes sense, even if all roads lead to that, he seeks to carve out another.[break][break]

"if that's what she wants, then i'll listen, but i need to hear it from her."[break][break]

and not Greyson Connors; a man.

[attr="class","postruinstxt"]He knew Matias wouldn't take the offer; the man was selfish to the very core.

Just like his Patron.

Shaking his head, Greyson reaches for a Pokéball at his belt. A charcoal feathered Braviary appears to his left, wings tucked and head shaking.

"I don't care how tired you are, Matias. Stick around and put your powers to actual use. Fix the god-damned beach. Consider it step-1 to actually changing into a decent human being."

Greyson on the other hand? He needed a shower, and sleep. With a powerful flap of wings, the duo departs.
