after spending months clawing his way up the mountain before finally reaching the peak and achieving the title of champion, cian has quickly found himself at a lost, unsure which direction to step in.[break][break]

atonement, he decides, cannot be earned so easily. Greyson Connors serves as an annoyingly painful reminder of that.[break][break]

to continue making up for the wrong he has done, he needs to continue doing right, and that's more than being rustboro's gym leader. he needs to extend his reach.[break][break]

knock, knock![break][break]

"councilman silph."[break][break]

he steps into their office, closing the door behind him before crossing the threshold and offering them his hand to shake.[break][break]

"thanks for seeing me. how are you?"

“MAHER.”

fernando’s tone is strict and his greeting concise. the perfect portrait painted after the impression most of the league, especially those unfamiliar with him, hold. a firm handshake seals the start of their meeting, and fernando returns to sitting.

“busy, but that’s expected. what can i do for you maher?”

it's only as he's standing before the councilman does he realize the last time they spoke was at some league party months ago—perhaps years—that ended as quickly as it started.[break][break]

bare and minimal.[break][break]

as his hand retreats back to his side, cian sits.[break][break]

"well, i don't want to take up too much of your time," even though what he's about to ask is basically that, "but i wanted your help with my growth."[break][break]

his leg bounces slightly.[break][break]

"in what ways can i step up?"

"GROWTH?"

fernando's scowl belies his judgement. expectation festers in what remains of his eye. it does not like what it sees.

"the vct champion, a champion ranked trainer, is asking what else they can do?"

he holds his tongue.

"what makes you believe you're not doing enough?"

this must be what trained politicians do—peer past what is presented and drag whatever it is into the limelight while doing the same in return, only better. though cian hadn't said he felt like he wasn't doing enough, there's no denying that's how he truly feels, so he accepts it and responses truthfully.[break][break]

"there's always more that can be done."[break][break]

it almost leaves him as a question but his tone adjusts accordingly. then, after a pause, he adds:[break][break]

"i want my reach to extend beyond rustboro. i feel like i can be doing more to help people, to help hoenn, but i don't know where to start."

“INDEED.”

a sage nod looks to his past. fernando is no stranger to cian’s words. in fact, they’re his own, verbatim, purposed and sharpened to stab at those who would deny him.

but the champion’s are dull. asking to be refined so that they may be wield by someone with more noble intentions.

“but only in the grand scheme of things. as individuals, we have limits.”

fernando’s weighs two decisions, head tilting in favor of one, just as a noctowl would.

“then abandon rustboro and adopt the region as a whole. become an elite four.”

and replace MATIAS SILPH echoes in the back of his mind.

“or raise trainers to reach your level and have them spread across the region in your stead.”

"i've been doing the latter, but…" he thinks of the likes of aaron faust, of how he's helped mold the young man into the trainer he is today, "there'll always be a part of me left wondering if i could've done more."[break][break]

hence why he's swayed to the former, rustboro already in the near distance behind him.[break][break]

"i'm worried i'll follow in the same footsteps of alexander."[break][break]

his mentor, in many ways, once abandoned rustboro in favor of a seat at the council, then sootopolis, before finally succumbing as hoenn's champion.

“STONE MAY HAVE HAD MANY FLAWS—”

the hate in his heart has dulled. killed by the finality of alexander’s death. illeana may have recovered his remains, but that husk of a man is no longer the same rival fernando burns for. if anything, it is his fall from grace. a man who is clearly inferior and therefore, a waste of time.

the proper alexander stone, the only man who could be argued as fernando’s better, was truly worthy of his ire.

“—but do you think his path was wrong?”

confliction wears on his heart though the tears have long been there, yet to heal over; perhaps they never would.[break][break]

"he stretched himself too thin."[break][break]

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

"but i don't have a company to run, mister silph. i don't have a council to seat. i only have rustboro to watch over. so please help me do more."

“PERHAPS.”

a phantom smile welcomes cian’s ridicule. a slight against stone applies as much to himself as anyone else. after all, is silph not a mirror of hoenn’s finest family name?

“stone stretched himself too thin and yet you ask for more. maher, are you set to see history repeat itself?”

this time, he smiles for real.

“your issue is your mentality. to do more, first we must access who is not doing enough. care to name anyone?”

"you're asking me to throw someone under the bus."[break][break]

a colleague; a possible friend.[break][break]

confliction continues to spread, tearing at the seams of his innocence and optimism. what's left of it, anyway, as cian is no stranger to ratting.[break][break]

after a pause that feels far too long, he decides on:[break][break]

"i don't want to be perfect. i don't even want to be the best."[break][break]

despite the way he flaunts his titles and accolades, cian doesn't truly think himself as the best there is.[break][break]

“YOU DO.”

fernando does not take his words at face value. to do so would be to believe in them. how can he when not even the source does? lies give out of desperation are hardly lies capable of deceiving.

“because you are already passing.”

they are meant for self sabotage.
