All for her? She doubted that, but he seemed to believe himself well enough. The sight of his injured leg against the mahogany table reminded her of the cost of his pride, and she wondered what injury his hubris would earn next.[break][break]

Half of her suspected she already knew. declan walsh had told her that much, at least.[break][break]

A surge of unexpected pity welled up in her then, knowing things she couldn't voice aloud, and it left her with a sense of unwanted obligation.[break][break]

"If someone loves you, then why not love them back?" she asked him, a conflicted look entering her expression. "It doesn't make sense to chase after someone like me. You know that."

"chase? have i not already caught you?"[break][break]

his joke, or at least his delivery implies it as one, is accompanied by a grin. but he figures he should grace her with a proper answer.[break][break]

"because love on its own isn't enough."[break][break]

he looks at Elisabeth Fiorelli, seeing conflict behind her eyes.[break][break]

"eva doesn't understand. she has a good heart and a clear mind, so there is little for rayquaza to influence as their goals are already aligned."

"I think some people aren't meant to be caught," she said, and it was an answer that wasn't an answer.[break][break]

Her head rested against the cushion of the couch, eyes fluttering shut as she sighed.[break][break]

'Love on its own isn't enough.' He was right, but also wrong.[break][break]

Love was often the problem in and of itself.[break][break]

"The implication is we are both black-hearted people, then?"

"we've both grown used to suffering."[break][break]

they find comfort in it, perhaps not from the familiarity of it, but from the power that comes from overcoming it time and time again. what other reason is there to bind their soul to beings unknown? Elisabeth Fiorelli has him beat there with two.[break][break]

as her eyes flutter shut, his stray out the window. the mountain range sits in the near distance mirrored by the aqua lake below.[break][break]

"do you think we're similar?"

"I do," she conceded, but she wasn't sure if her reasoning matched his.[break][break]

They were similar in the way that the earthquake and the famine were alike: both destined to cause devastation for those around them, albeit in different ways.[break][break]

"But is our suffering all that binds us, do you think?"[break][break]

Her suffering was what bound her to both her gods. She supposed, in some ways, it bound her to most people, too.[break][break]

"I'm sorry," she said abruptly, a hand resting upon her forehead as she caught herself. "I don't know why I get like this. Thoughts like these don't make for good conversation."[break][break]

Her attention turned to his kitchen, and she looked back at him with intent.[break][break]

"Do you have anything decent to drink?"

Elisabeth Fiorelli's question is met with silence as he considers it. his pride and natural stubbornness tell him, no, their suffering isn't all that binds them but it is arguably their strongest link. but what other tethers are there?[break][break]

looking back at her, he wonders.[break][break]

"who better to share these thoughts with? i don't think anyone understands what we go through. they can sympathize, sure, but they just don't get it."[break][break]

he shrugs, then nods.[break][break]

"only vodka. might have some wine as well but you'll have to check."[break][break]

because he isn't about to go through the effort of getting up. not when his leg's as messed up as it is.

"Either works," she said as she got up to rummage through his cabinets. Having something to do was ideal, even if it was just stalling uncomfortable conversation to search for alcohol.[break][break]

If she had any doubts that Eva Morales no longer lived here, this little venture soon erased them completely from her mind.[break][break]

It was already difficult to imagine MATIAS SILPH cooking; it was now impossible for Elisabeth to picture it after seeing the state of his kitchen. What food he had seemed well past its expiration date, and basic things such as pots, pans, spices, and the like all were glaringly absent from his storage.[break][break]

Fortunately, or perhaps concerningly, his stores of alcohol faced no such predicament.[break][break]

"You've gotten used to living like a bachelor again, I see," she commented aloud, amusement and judgment alike sitting in that observation as she reached for a drink. "What do you mix with your vodka, usually?"[break][break]

Her eyes flitted to the other side of the cabinet, and she let out a soft 'aha' as she pulled out a dusty bottle of Kalosian wine buried in the back. She turned to him with both bottles in hand, lifting them for his inspection.[break][break]

"Or I can open a red wine. Up to you."

Eva Morales had done most (all) of the grocery shopping when they were together. his lifestyle hasn't changed much from when he was in kanto, used to living off rations and whatever food he could find in the wild.[break][break]

it's why, even now, this ranch looks barely lived in. it would have looked a lot less had it not been for weeks of house arrest a few months ago.[break][break]

"ice sometimes."[break][break]

sometimes nothing if he can't be bothered.[break][break]

his head tilts back to watch Elisabeth Fiorelli in the kitchen, and dressed in the league hoodie along with eva's clothes underneath, it almost becomes too easy for his mind to wander and for associations to form.[break][break]

the sight makes him feel warm.[break][break]

"just bring both."

"Drinking vodka like that will get you drunk in no time," she scolded him lightly, but there wasn't much else to find. No tonic water, certainly, but no surprise there.[break][break]

Oh, well. It wasn't her job to make him live properly, she reminded herself.[break][break]

She threw together some ice cubes in a glass, sighing a little at what a waste it was, before she made her way back into the living area.[break][break]

"Here," she said, pushing the glass of vodka into his hand as she placed the remaining bottle of it on the nearby side table.[break][break]

The wine she kept for herself, uncorking it and drinking it straight from the bottle.[break][break]

She'd not found any wine glasses, and he didn't seem like the type to care about formality, she figured.[break][break]

"You should know that I don't get drunk easily anymore," she said, as if trying to decipher the look in his eyes. "Immunity to poison and all that."

his eyebrow raises, more amused than anything.[break][break]

"are you lecturing me?"[break][break]

not that he minds. it's not like he'd listen, anyway, just like how he's ignoring the fact that he's not meant to be drinking if he wants to get back on his feet as soon as possible. it's a problem for another day.[break][break]

he takes the glass of vodka, showing his gratitude through a nod.[break][break]

"i'll have to stock up, then."[break][break]

and after watching Elisabeth Fiorelli neck the wine straight from the bottle, he follows suit and drinks his.[break][break]

"there are still ways around that, you know. get a sygna suit."

"You seem the sort who does the opposite of whatever anyone asks you to do," she said, taking another swig of the drink as she ignored the question.[break][break]

Though his second suggestion caught her unawares.[break][break]

"I have one being made, actually," Elisabeth said, regarding him then with renewed curiosity as she lowered her bottle to her lap. "Do you have one, then?"[break][break]

She found it hard to believe he'd relinquish whatever strength that Groudon lent him. He didn't seem willing to expose himself to any vulnerability, Sygna Suits included, but maybe she'd read him wrong.[break][break]

Couldn't she relate to wanting a relief from her inner torment, too?[break][break]

he barks out a laugh that's drowned out with another sip of his drink, finishing off the vodka before reaching for the bottle on the table.[break][break]

"fuck no. can you imagine me in a suit that tight? well, maybe you already have, but no."[break][break]

the odd angle and the way he's forced to stretch forward for the bottle has him grunting. he lets out a sigh as he pours, not stopping until it nears the top of the glass.[break][break]

"kyle's been trying to get me one. i think he knows," he taps at his temple, at the unraveling strands of his mental state, "and i think he thinks it'll help."

"Rest assured, I put my imagination to better use," she said with a slight eyeroll, curling up into the couch to get comfortable. "But I figured you didn't have one, no."[break][break]

Though the fact that kyle lopez had made the suggestion to him surprised her, somewhat.[break][break]

As did the fact he confided in the Champion about his current mental state.[break][break]

"You two seem close," she mused, watching him pour his vodka to the brim. "He seemed protective of you, a bit, when I spoke with him on the island."[break][break]

A question struck her suddenly, one that seemed ludicrous but possible all at the same time.[break][break]

"How much does he know about us?"

too lazy to lean all the way back to the coffee table, he places the bottle on the floor instead, tucked to the side of the couch to be safe.[break][break]

"it may surprise you to hear but i don't have many friends anymore, let alone allies, but for whatever reason, he still chooses to stick around."[break][break]

even without spending decades together in a world that seems like a far-distant dream, kyle lopez is who he'd consider his closest friend and ally.[break][break]

he considers briefly how to respond to Elisabeth Fiorelli's question; how truthful he should be exactly as he worries it may change the dynamic of their relationship.[break][break]

"he wants to know more, and i'll tell him eventually, but he knows enough for now."
