"of course."[break][break]

who else would he share his first meal back with? he can think of no one else. no one but her. but that could simply be attributed to the fact that she's sat across him right now along with how she was the one who brought him back.[break][break]

to live, and to hurt.[break][break]

"that good."[break][break]

and as he finishes up his meal, he looks up, taking her in for perhaps the first time since they ventured back into hoenn. it's only then that he notices the subtle differences in the way she looks, in how she holds herself, and in how she looks at him.[break][break]

"how have you been, illie?"[break][break]

when met with the options, options he could see coming, he puts his phone down and steps away, breathing a sigh as he heads onto the balcony.[break][break]

what is he doing? this feels wrong. to linger to the past but to do so in this manner makes it worse.[break][break]

when he returns, he has half the mind to put an end to this. but whether it be by accident, fate, or something else entirely, he ends up pressing OPTION B.[break][break]

"yes, his dedication to his work is second to none."[break][break]

anyone else might have made it sounds far less genuine but the way alexander says it is almost as though he means it. in a way, he does, as he knows no one else that is half as obsessed as fernando is.[break][break]

"i'll have to catch him some other time, then."[break][break]

which is a shame, really, as he had been looking forward to his reunion with the councilman.[break][break]

"i should get going. thank you for your warm hospitality, katherine. i really do appreciate it."[break][break]

evidently, his best was not enough. but there's no changing the past, only the future, so like everyone else, he moves on.[break][break]

"as i am sure you are aware, the rift in mount pyre leads to what you call the border between life and death. it is there that illeana reyes found me."[break][break]

the last time her name had been aired by either one of them had been under far different pretenses. whatever he feels about it is hidden well enough.[break][break]

"somehow, she brought me back with her."[break][break]

and more than he deserves, perhaps.[break][break]

"for what it's worth, i believe you've done an excellent job so far. more than enough to silence critics, in my opinion. definitely more than what i managed to do as councilman."[break][break]

it is dreadful, yes, but it is also katherine's connection to FERNANDO SILPH that makes up part of her allure. he is not nearly as shameless, however, as there is no stray in his gaze. no momentary gleam that might tempt him.[break][break]

he wears a well-crafted mask that has been shaped and perfected through the years.[break][break]

"i suppose we'll find out soon enough."[break][break]

though his heart still yearns for another, foolishly so, he cannot deny the thrill of it. he remains wary of it, choosing to teeter instead of crossing just yet.[break][break]

"do you know when fernando will be back?"[break][break]

"this? unfortunately not. i used to have hair like yours, actually."[break][break]

green and lush and full have since turned into sleek gray, bordering white. he does not mind it now but it took him a while to adjust.[break][break]

they will have to discuss this some other time as another THUNDER cuts through them. this time, he sees the direction it zaps from.[break][break]

his hand slaps a pokeball on his belt and from it comes his serperior. the grass-type's LEAF STORM whips through the area, strong enough to carry a stray RAICHU up into the air.[break][break]

the source of the THUNDER.[break][break]

why does it look so big, though?[break][break]

with none of his own pokemon out on the field with him, it would've been far too easy to succumb to one of her attacks. all it takes is a stray ELECTRO BALL to send him back to where some would argue he belongs.[break][break]

after she TELEPORTS away, he raises his hands to show he means no harm.[break][break]

"well, i was dead, but not anymore. the league and dahlia can confirm that much."[break][break]

his voice carries through the theater.[break][break]

"i mean you no harm, melody. like i said earlier, i simply want to talk."[break][break]

no, it certainly isn't normal behavior, but there is always an explanation even for the most odd phenomena.[break][break]

"let's."[break][break]

without any hesitation, he descends down into the sewers after her. the putrid smell is the first thing that hits him, but after a few moments to adjust, he's able to breathe without much issue.[break][break]

"i am happy for you to take lead. i'm not all too familiar with ghost-types myself, so it will be good to have your expertise."[break][break]

he pulls out a flashlight and clicks it on, shining it down the path as they begin their search.[break][break]

"have you been in hoenn for long?"[break][break]

"i have been craving this for so long."[break][break]

over two years, to be exact. even if there is no need to eat or drink in the land of the dead he still feels familiar cravings and pangs of hunger. it's safe to say he's been dreaming of this moment for far too long.[break][break]

"i am so glad i get to share my first meal back with you."[break][break]

and with a smile, he gestures and leads them to eat at a small dining table still in the kitchen. it sees the most use whenever he's busy and has to rush through a meal.[break][break]

his first bite is nothing short of whimsical, flavors like something out of a fairy tale. he breaks into a chuckle.[break][break]

"holy shit."[break][break]

the feeling is mutual, yes, but he will not share any more than he already has with this game.[break][break]

growing curious about the prince, he decides to prod as he currently knows very little of the man. though that has always been by choice.[break][break]

the group make their introductions. he dips his head in a small nod at each one as they do, showing how he's heard them.[break][break]

at Remiel Calcifet's suggestion, he nods.[break][break]

"let's."[break][break]

they have lots to explore, after all.[break][break]

with alexander and pyukumuku taking up the front, they venture deeper into the ULTRA CRATER before eventually breaking into a clearing.[break][break]

"wow! would you look at that?"[break][break]

what lies ahead of them is a CRATER, and within it are bamboo stalks aligned in a message.[break][break]

"it's asking for a gift..."[break][break]

11 discover at least one special crater out of five. each crater has an inscribed message written in bamboo stalks, asking for a separate gift to be brought at a later date: a stone bowl, a jeweled branch, a robe of fire rats, a dragon's jewel, and a seaborne shell.

glancing over his shoulder at her, the sight of her sitting on the counter just watching him is a fond one; one that is reminiscent of far simpler times. his smile is visible even if it's hidden behind the curve of his shoulder.[break][break]

his head shakes.[break][break]

"no, that's okay. this won't take long."[break][break]

the silence that quickly envelops them isn't minded. to him, it surrounds them and forms their little bubble which he takes comfort in.[break][break]

it does not take him long to finish cooking. soon, he approaches her with two plates of spaghetti aglio e olio with sous vide duck.[break][break]

"ready."[break][break]
