dahlia laughs. the water on his shoes is tinged with pink. she tongues a loose crown.

"one city, and you think the league's in ruins?" she shakes her head, tussled hair falling neatly against her cheek. "it's good to see that i'm not the only greenhorn in leadership."

she moves to pull a gold curl of hair behind her ear, but the arms meet the cold resistance of rope.

"and you're right." dahlia leans back in her chair, settling comfortably.

her shoulders relax, neck loose as she reclines as if she were in spa.

"they will." dahlia would cross her legs if she could. "it's funny how you think i wouldn't listen to a warning. i'm happy. happy to be here, silas."

with a delicate frown, her gaze settles on silas like a canopy of pity.

"still, i forgive you."

spinning round like a carousel of shadows, the memories flicker through intervals of black as silas ticks through each detail. dahlia secretly takes pleasure in this. he remembers so much— so much more than her. but she still remembers the beartic.

she had it in her room. after slateport's laceration, she's not sure if it's there anymore.

"i wasn't lying." dahlia sighs wistfully, her breath running freely against the locked circuit of memory. "it was cute."

the jacket feels heavy. dahlia leans forward, ropes clawing into her arms and wrists as she takes a drink like a suspended trapeze artist.

"mm, you did." dahlia says delicately, as if balancing her syllables. "i'll warn you too."

she spits the water on his shoes.

"don't patronize me, silas."

fright trickles up her limbs like vines of winter frost. they shackle her. a paralysis induced by nightmare, her awoken gaze abandons control into the deep pools of spiritomb's looming visage.

a voice snaps her out of her sleepy deluge. and the icy vines are replaced by ropes. she doesn't resist—but the cordage digs into her skin and rubs it red. as her vision acclimates to her new surroundings, dahlia steadies her breath.

she's in the belly of the beast. right where she wants to be.

"actually, i don't." dahlia says. the grisly sight is utterly foreign, rendered unknown by a man's selfish hubris. "if you miss it so much, you could visit it yourself, silas." her gaze mourns the memory of the market, and disparages the calamity: a spoink doll eviscerated on the ground, the sewn pearl now severed.

"after all, that market is now your creation."

"oh? which city?" dahlia tosses the question into the storm, but the answer is crucial. "are you from here?" unsharpened and dull, her words hold themselves within the confines of simple conversation.

but she seeks honesty baptized by rain.

her eyes follow his. the silver-blue chrome of the ship is shining. impressive. but alone. dahlia notices another vessel, white with red accents pairing off with another, the rough current making it seem as if it were running away.

dahlia's hands grasp the damp rails fearlessly.

"i'm dahlia. and you are?" facing the man, she speaks with earnestness in her eyes.

and yet, his steady voice now ripples with resentment. the sonic betrayal of silas' feelings is all dahlia needs; anger and bitterness is nothing to be scared of. instead, she encourages it, tugging at silas through the blood pulsing in her thumbs, intel gained straight from the heart.

as silas separates from her, dahlia lets him. no resistance. the shared climax of his emotions resonates strong long after his retreat.

in a way, dahlia is the sole player on the field. she stands like a soft spire and clasps her hands together for comfort.

"i made you cruel." she repeats. "and because i did nothing, that means you've become... someone else." dahlia breathes, breast swelling with a reserve of calm. "it must hurt, silas— maybe lonely."

dahlia hopes her guards are far, far away.

"but i did try." dahlia says. "it's just that... you weren't there to see it." a beat. "i'm not asking you to trust me," she plucks a tear, the sadness passing, "but if you ever change your mind, just know that it is not too late."

the sea breeze rises: a tense sense of inevitably shrouding the room.

"i'd run. my guards are probably going to storm in despite my orders." she peers back, the staircase leading to the peak an endless spiral.

dahlia doesn't process the loss of her friend. instead, she picks up the pieces. the green chunks wobble limply in her bloodied hands. she's caked in white powder. skin pale with concrete dust, dahlia's finger repeatedly clicks the pokéball's recall button to no avail.

her shoulder is gripped, and the voice echoes as if it were in a descending tunnel. an insidious ringing pierces through everything that she hears, but she hears her. her would-be saviour.

"out of here. right." the commissioner stumbles to her feet, letting go of her reuniclus. she's shaken, but calm. the tears will come later. a frown graces her features, the tears wetting 's cheeks summoning a well of empathy from her chest. "you'll be okay. we'll get out of this, alright?"

she hears 's rich voice cut through the chaos, but the commissioner hobbles forth with marie's help.

but fearful of drawing more attention, she keeps silent.

tl;dr - allows marie to help her / keeps quiet even though silph calls out for her because she doesn't want to draw attention to her location

it's storming outside. the ships nest inside the harbour, shivering against the brash waves that claw at their sides. she should be inside. delegating. working. but no, dahlia needs this.

a respite from company. at least, the company that expects so much that it siphons shards of the soul with every threatening weight. no one comes outside in the rain. and so, she watches the violence of the ocean peacefully. her white coat wisps around her thin legs like ghost tails while her umbrella remains firm.

but she's not alone.

dahlia peers over to the approaching figure, and her heavy heart almost tugs her chest to the ground.

he looks dangerous; dahlia has seen men like him. men like silas.

"here to look at the ships?" dahlia asks.

dahlia dashes forth through the sonic battlefield of upheaval. each sound is floating shrapnel that she brushes away with a careful whisks of her hand. she dares not look back. the sight of a child (@names), enslaved stiff, like a scarecrow hoisted upon a stalk, by an ideology that is so beyond the horizon of her understanding—terrifies her.

what have you done, silas?

but perhaps, he's not to blame. perhaps, he's simply another victim.

her rush is halted by the sudden appearance of a gardevoir; friend or foe, she has no idea. the swiftness in which she is taken fails the mental resolution.

"who!? where?!" dahlia's first step on the messy floor are stutters, one hand bracing against @thermopylae's shoulder. a cut breath. she looks in horror at the claydol before screaming: "no!"

casting her reuniclus out, and gelatinous paws forge a REFLECT. dahlia stares at the carnage, the experience all of a sudden, more real.

tl;dr - is teleported to the ground floor / calls reuniclus out to use REFLECT

silas' words ring coldly, like rotting tree rings. the storm has finally come. the commissioner forces his voice to the background, and in the unnerving vacuum, concern floods forth.

first, she thinks of @yiannis. despite his brash nature, she knows he'd be on the frontlines- she swears she can hear him bark orders. but she realizes it's her own, directing others to safety.

@names's gurdurr announces itself with the HAMMER ARM. raising an arm for cover, dahlia stumbles as a scream of glass shatters nearby. some shards scrape across her cheek, sewing in red.

she stares back to see a child. but she doesn't question the matter. with a huff, dahlia begins to run with one hand on a pokeball.

tl;dr - is spotted by tiamat when her gurdurr smashes into the office hallway

behind her laptop, dahlia's fingers orchestrate the meeting's minutes. although it is in no way her obligation to document the participants words, she writes to soothe herself. the clacking of keyboard keys: a meditative sense exercise in participation. and her eyes are like softened spotlights— they center gently on each speaker's conversation.

the history and culture siphoned from malcolm and persephone are scribed— but pixelated font seems like a scratch compared to the gravity of their discoveries.

her fingers stop at the mention of the dead.

"no one knows, sadly." dahlia pipes up from the range of her screen. a beat. "his body was too mutilated for identification. she opens a new window, and scrolls through a document on her touch screen. "we have examined the manifest, but nothing. perhaps a clerical error, a last-minute volunteer, or—" she stops, retrieving her finger from the glass. "no reports from the other known ruins, yes."

her pinky rests awkwardly on the enter key, before committing to another line.

"ah," dahlia interjects; she shifts to vera and ava, "i'm sure professor creighton is willing to collaborate further. he's leaving for mauville for a conference soon, but! the trains run fast here. he can pop back and forth quickly."
