she speaks the same way he would. statements made on behalf of the league but never from his own person. he chuckles at the realization.[break][break]

"that is very kind of the league."[break][break]

sounding more amused than condescending (not in the slightest), he is quick to continue, now leaning forward before gesturing toward her.[break][break]

"but what of your support, councilwoman? is there anything i can do to earn it?"[break][break]

she drops to her knees and he follows her, legs giving out from underneath him. his knees dig into the soil, shoulders sagging as though a terrible weight has just been lifted off. there, with her hand still in his, he smiles, not bothering to hold back the tears.[break][break]

"you did it."[break][break]

his free hand reaches up to find her face, thumb smoothing over her tear-stained cheek.[break][break]

"you saved me. thank you."[break][break]

his palm reaches out to return the greeting, feeling the warmth of her salamence through its scales that have grown rougher, aged with time, but the strength it radiates is still second to none.[break][break]

taking a step forward, he presses his forehead against lyune's, eyes closing as well before turning to look at freya.[break][break]

"as have i."[break][break]

he takes a step closer.[break][break]

"i drifted in nothingness for what felt like an eternity but not once did i think i would ever find my way back."[break][break]

he looks at her with a sense of longing.[break][break]

"i lost hope, and for that i am sorry."[break][break]

"why would you not get the chance to?"[break][break]

his question comes off as more curious than anything else. not invasive, at the very least.[break][break]

"from what i've been able to garner, it seems the rifts will remain open and accessible for a while."[break][break]

in his limited time back to the land of the living, he has made sure to familiarize himself hoenn's current situation and what plagues them.[break][break]

"i was going to suggest venturing there together. eventually, anyways."[break][break]

when their gazes meet, he stares, taking in the minute details of how their expression mirrors his own. how their smile shapes, how their eyes widen. it's uncanny, really, and it's slightly off-putting.[break][break]

still, he chuckles.[break][break]

"ha! yes, it is."[break][break]

his poochyena has yet to stop asking for scratches.[break][break]

"it might explain why india's so fond of you."[break][break]

and out he goes.[break][break]

the threshold between life and death is crossed as his materialness returns to him. no longer is he translucent and intangible. he is whole and alive.[break][break]

his suspicions have been proven right.[break][break]

"illie..."[break][break]

his hand squeezes her just to be sure.[break][break]

"i think i'm alive."[break][break]

from what he can tell so far, the councilwoman has been honest with him, or at the very least open about her experiences. the least he could do is to reflect the same.[break][break]

"it has not been easy."[break][break]

he admits, then continues after a composed breath.[break][break]

"it's a give and take, i suppose. the world moved on and now it has to adapt and acclimate to me the same way i have to with it."[break][break]

her sympathies are appreciated.[break][break]

"i have to find my place in the world again. where or what that is exactly, i'm not sure."[break][break]

fondness emanates in the way he looks down at his poochyena, its tail wagging from side to side as it accepts all the scratches the stranger offers. it must have been especially difficult for his pokemon when he was away. nothing could make up for it, he imagines.[break][break]

but this is a start.[break][break]

"he really is."[break][break]

as his gaze drifts up to regard the stranger, it's only then that their features catch his attention for a particular reason. the similarities stand out, not to the level where it's like looking through a mirror, but enough to raise certain flags.[break][break]

feigning a smile that comes too easily, he introduces himself.[break][break]

"i'm alexander."[break][break]

so, so stubborn. he had almost forgotten just how persistent she could be. how determined she is once she sets her mind to it. he breathes out a sigh as the golurk edges closer.[break][break]

with a nod, he agrees, ready to face the pain of having to say goodbye. at least this time he'll get the chance to.[break][break]

"okay."[break][break]

he's dragged forward through the mist, now running as heavy footsteps continue to quicken as well, following after them.[break][break]

"oh! no worries. we must have been in your way."[break][break]

they likely were considering how he's just standing around waiting for his poochyena to finish its business in the grass. it leaps out soon enough, then barks the moment it sees a stranger.[break][break]

"india, sit."[break][break]

the poochyena walks up and starts sniffing at lam's shoes.[break][break]

"apologies! he never listens."[break][break]

the silence of the theater is not minded. in fact, this time, it is appreciated as it allows them their privacy.[break][break]

"i was hoping we could talk."[break][break]

he continues his approach, wading through rows of empty seats as he makes his way over to her.[break][break]

the words stab at his heart, each repetition plunging deeper and deeper until there's nothing left to find.[break][break]

"you can't."[break][break]

finally, the golurk appears once again, parting through the mist as it heads in their direction, dead set on making sure spirits stay where they belong.[break][break]

in this realm.[break][break]

"at first i thought it was because of tapu fini."[break][break]

and FERNANDO SILPH, by extension, but he is careful with his choice of words, curious to find out the extent to katherine's relationship with the councilman. living together is no small feat, after all.[break][break]

"but now i'm not too certain. there are other spirits that haunt the border. some good and pure, some indifferent, and some truly malicious."[break][break]

to think that his return serves a bigger purpose would be a little pandering. self-centered, even. but if there is ever a purpose for him it would be to continue fighting for hoenn and its people.[break][break]

"have you not been yet?"[break][break]
