They haven't been here for even ten minutes and already Lavinia owes a woman she barely knows — a woman who was patronizing her just seconds ago — her damn life. At least in part, anyway. She is pretty sure Kalliope's singular healing move is helping, too. Good thing her Hatterene learned it even at the expense of her bloodlust. Although it wouldn't hurt to have another Hatterene to heal...
[break][break]
"I'm sorry," she murmurs to Higashi, properly abashed, even though she hates it. Hates the way she sounds, the way she has to posture humility, the way she no doubt looks weak and pathetic. Well, that was a very pathetic display, so she only has herself to blame. "I'll be more careful."
[break][break]
She means that last, if nothing else. Only, she's as concerned for her own pride as for their limited-supply miracle cure. There's no time to inquire about the vial's contents, though the scholar in her would very much like to. The specifics don't really matter, in any case. She knows enough about this world to make an educated guess: Whatever that cure is, it comes from a Pokémon.
[break][break]
As much as she hates them, Lavinia has to admit that they are useful.
[break][break]
But then, the mere fact that she expanded her roster in preparation for this trip is already an admittance, isn't it? Just not quite so explicit. She'll mull over the uses of a potential second Hatterene later. For now, the Cherrim she's brought will have to do.
[break][break]
"Absorb," she says without preamble, without even waiting for the light to fade, and watches as it does its thing. Absorb works, thank the gods; or rather, Higashi. "That was a great idea."
[break][break]
Whereas Yuina has quickly cemented herself as a valuable member of their team — of any team, Lavinia would go as far as to say —, Montgomery is... The exact opposite. Fine, she herself hasn't exactly been useful so far, but at least she hasn't said the same thing every time she's opened her mouth. To think that he's — What did he say he works with, again? It doesn't matter. He might be like twice her age, but he's also pissing her off.
[break][break]
"Can you say anything else?" She snaps, nearly hisses really. "I'll admit I was stupid, but I'm doing my best to recover quickly. Get a move on yourself —" she cuts herself off just before calling the man a moron, swallowing the insult, " — go scouting like she said. Thank you, Cahill."
[break][break]
At least two out of three adults on this party are reasonable, but there's a part of Lavi that can't help thinking she should have stayed home. No amount of research compares to real experience — which she knew already —, she's out of her depth, and she could... Well, she could die. She should have listened to her mother.
[break][break]
That doesn't make any difference now, though. She's here, so she has to suck it up, be mature and make herself useful; or else the shame might be even worse than death.
[break][break]
"I apologize," Lavinia says after a beat, shakily.
[break][break]
Linus comes to rub himself against her legs while Kalliope floats just behind her protectively, and even the nameless Cherrim leans against her. The latter spooks her, but she allows it.
[break][break]
"I let my temper get the better of me. I... I'm fine, and you're right in any case, James. Let's get going."
