he barks out a laugh at the 'no thanks'. how quickly that response came, it's almost as though greyson had it loaded in the chamber.

"your loss."

not really. if anything, it'll likely be one of the smartest decisions greyson would ever make in his life.

his mind wanders to other important matters as the ranch comes into sight, poking out of the corner of his vision as they near the end of their walk.

"i will continue to do what is best for hoenn."

he swallows his worries.

"and i doubt i'd be able to do that from here."

an expected reaction, there is comfort to be found in that; comfort that quickly fades at her next question.[break][break]

"i wasn't planning on doing it now."[break][break]

but seeing as he's already here and she's already made the offer, he guesses there isn't a reason not to beyond his worries. time won't solve that, so he concedes and shrugs his shirt off.[break][break]

his finger runs over a particular piece that almost protrudes through the skin of his right shoulder.[break][break]

the same way.[break][break]

what exactly is that?[break][break]

it's easy to spiral and even easier not to try to stop himself from doing so. his mind descends briefly, returning to places he thought were long behind him.[break][break]

suddenly, his worries are no longer contained.[break][break]

he looks away briefly, catching a glimpse of a ponyta in the distance. he assumes it's his, though he doesn't recognize it anymore.[break][break]

the satisfaction from the spoon being shoved into his mouth is short-lived, drowned out by a ringing that quickly reaches its crescendo.[break][break]

his eyebrows pinch. his eyes narrow.[break][break]

in the reflection of her eyes, he sees a glimpse of the RED SHARD being thrown into a pit of lava, consumed by greed, pity, and envy.[break][break]

Josh Devlin and Navy like this

[attr="class","retiredsilphtxt"]

[attr="class","retiredsilphicon"]

the names mentioned bring a soft smile to his face. those were simpler times, then, to have something to argue over with each one. he longs for it, in a way.

"you have to trust them now more than ever, melly."

he pauses.

"Navy, Greyson Connors, and Josh Devlin are the league's strongest. you have to learn their strengths and how best to use them. what exactly their strengths are, i wouldn't be able to tell you.

"but i know you'll figure it out. i believe in you."

"groudon's still an asset."

the league are simply too scared to utilize it, though he can't say he blames them. the risks of sending the volatile back out is high and potentially costly, but if they aren't willing to take risks to win, then they only have themselves to blame.

"if you're asking if my mind's still compromised, it's not, but i do still feel its presence, yes."

that level of connection and corruption doesn't simply disappear after a few restful nights. he imagines it'll stay with him for the rest of his life.

"groudon needs an avatar now, if you're looking."

that makes two of them as they both fail to find ways to cope. she avoids them entirely, and he does the same even if he doesn't realize as much; he had tried to do the same earlier by telling her to go back to bed.[break][break]

he's glad she didn't.[break][break]

he's even more glad at her confession.[break][break]

"you're welcome."[break][break]

but what happens once she inevitably leaves? how will she cope with her nightmares then? by sleeping with someone else? it's easy to spiral, so he decides to ask.[break][break]

"how are you gonna cope without me?"[break][break]

"eh, maybe, but i have no intentions on finding out again."

because his days of fighting with his allies and friends are long behind him. now, he focuses on the present and the future, doing so under a warm beacon of light that is his goodwill.

"i guess that was the beauty of kyle. if he did his job well, you'd never know, and if he didn't do his job well, you wouldn't know either."

he shrugs.

"for what it's worth, no one could replace him, but if there had to be someone, you're the next best thing we have."

Melody Miro is the only choice they have.

the ignition is exactly what he needs from her, evident by how his lips curl into a grin at the vitriol she spits in return.[break][break]

"that's the spirit. now channel that into this and we'll be golden."[break][break]

but knowing he has to say more to stop her from leaving; the bridge between them has already been burnt, after all; he offers more words, genuine when he says:[break][break]

"i'm sorry for being a dick about it. but i appreciate you doing this for me."[break][break]

"no, it can't."

and it won't; this, he chooses not to say as he's done making empty promises. he can't guarantee that possibility, especially not when he remains tethered to groudon, so that's the best he can offer at the moment.

"i don't know."

he shrugs a shoulder.

"what i do know is it does me more harm to be here, suspended and out of action, than back in the fight where i belong.

"would you vouch for me, if i asked you to?"

he barks out a laugh, bitter as he's met with vindication that she will forever be the person he met that fateful day in her cottage. that despite all that has happened and all they've been through, she will run at the first opportunity given.

"it won't be anywhere, elisa, and do you know why?"

he says on the back of her TELEPORT, uncaring whether she'd hear it or not as she makes her departure.

"because you'll always be a coward."

the TELEPORT that takes her away affirms as much.

"they were never this bad before. they actually stopped entirely after groudon."[break][break]

but despite their renewed agreement, he supposes grudges are to be expected. he'd just been hoping for something else; something that doesn't make him feel weak.[break][break]

this is his burden to carry, and while he appreciates how she's offering to help, that in itself is another burden of its own—he doesn't deserve any of it. he pushes the thought away for later even if it continues to gnaw at him.[break][break]
