[attr="class","stonemain"]the surprise that washes over him is both feigned and genuine at the same time. he's aware of her appointment into council, he just wasn't expecting it to move forward that quickly.

"a council seat? no, i have no clue."

his next question, along with his smile, betrays him.

"did you accept?"

oh, how he wishes he could empathize, but it's a plight he would never wish upon anyone.

"many have tried."

he says, skeptical.

"what makes you different?"

is it the creature of GRUDGE that stares him down? or is it something else entirely?

[attr="class","stonemain"]she's awkward and he can feel it. briefly, he wonders if she can feel his awkwardness, too, but the thought fleets at the reveal.

"i'm sorry, you punched her?"

he's not sure how to react except to chuckle as he tilts his head to look at freya. a look of amusement washes over him, playful.

"and you just let him? that sounds very unlike you."

[attr="class","stonemain"]it is his nature to so he does without hesitation.

gallade's own LIFE DEW rises but it is to no avail. the volcanion's soul has long passed which is a concept he of all people should be familiar with. he wonders if it could be found within the border.

it is a thought he pays no mind to.

"it's gone, illie."

but as he says that, its eyes flicker with life, and for the briefest of moments he could almost hear it speak. but then the flicker fades and all that's left is metal.

"it's not ours to save."

23 encounter a broken down volcanion that has been crushed by metal or gears who gains a moment of lucidity/life, but "dies" or malfunctions before it can impart any information.

[attr="class","stonemain"]he nods at her question, insisting that he's okay, which he is, even if the situation around them is quickly testing him.

"i don't know. nothing good, i imagine."

his gallade points to their side at what appears to be a broken down volcanion that they somehow all missed. perhaps it's the fall. or perhaps it only chooses to make itself known now.

"over there."

[attr="class","stonemain"]his new post working alongside the bright and patient mind of dahlia goode has been rewarding, to say the least, as he has been able to influence change and to see it happen in real-time. it feels reminiscent of his time on the council except far smoother. less political, oddly enough.

speaking of change, "freya."

his greeting is warm as ever as he embraces her briefly before taking his seat.

"mauville's changed quite a bit! i barely recognize it anymore."

[attr="class","stonemain"]the landing is rough, and only after they come to a tumbling halt does he get the chance to regain his bearings. he looks around, hands splaying across the ground only to hear something crunch under him.

he stands immediately, dragging her with him before finally calling out his gallade.

"are you okay?" he turns to look at her only to realize he's still holding her arm.

[attr="class","stonemain"]"what do you mea—"

his question is cut short by the snapping of a cable and the lurching of the elevator. he reaches to grab her first out of instinct, hand curling around her arm, before he looks around for their escape plan.

"hold on to me!"

he finds what appears to be a grappling hook. aiming it down at one of the sky-lines, he waits until they fall low enough before firing. the moment it connects, he jumps, hoping the momentum would carry them to safety.

whatever safety they could find in the castle, anyway.

22 involve the use of a grappling hook/tool and "sky-lines" (shamelessly stolen from bioshock: infinite) to travel or engage in combat.

[attr="class","stonemain"]it's a discomfort unlike any other. death had been quick and relatively painless as far as he could remember where this is slow and excruciating. and yet he finds himself unwilling to step away.

instead, he finds himself at the dining table eating food made by a man he would not have hesitated to arrest.

after a moment of silence, he speaks up again.

"i don't think i've ever heard the story of how you two met."

only when they're both on the escalator does he push the button. it groans to life, rumbling as it begins its descent.

with or without her, he would have thrown himself in front of freya morningstar's parents and been ripped to shreds by the buzzwole regardless. her presence and her powers would have changed nothing.

he takes a step away to approach the escalator.

"if he feels like he has to, then let him. it's not worth the trouble."

[attr="class","stonemain"]"because meteor falls needed you. your skills were better suited there."

these reasons are formed with logic. the next, however, comes from a more selfish place.

"and because you would've seen me die otherwise."

he looks away.
