Adrian allows himself to relax back into the chair, regaining his casual demeanor. Neither of them would know when the Fat Lady would sing.[break][break]

But sing she would. They'd toast the other, when it came to it, and let the earth drink richly in their spirits. And that would fade into memory, and even the lives interconnecting them would move on from it.[break][break]

And that would be that. So why think on it more?[break][break]

Any comfort Adrian might've found is momentarily stifled by Howard's abrupt comment. Too king for Rocket, huh...? Howard may not have realized how narrowly he'd avoided stumbling over the truth. Did he know, maybe...?[break][break]

He wouldn't be able to press Howard—whose body was wracked with a sudden hacking fit—but that might've been for the best. It only complicated matters, and at such time as they were still commiserating, he did not wish to trouble Howard any further with such things. A furtive glance at the admin assures him—they had not lingered over that detail attentively so.[break][break]

Adrian punched at the side of the bed in lieu of Howard's arm, conscious of the pain it may cause them, given their current state.[break][break]

"Don't thank me. Just make sure we get our chance, some day..."[break][break]

Thoughts of an aberrant hand puncturing a crimson sky brimming with miasma, of leviathan monsters marching upon a ruined kingdom; this tale had repeated itself over many centuries and settings. He remembered what it had cost, remembered her second death... Another failure.[break][break]

He had grown weary of it by now.

Adrian has to raise his arm to shield his eyes from the clatter of debris. He doesn't notice the Ceruledge fading to black, only to reappear just before them both. Adrian flinches as it lashes out, but it is Gyarados that takes the brunt of the blow, its scaled hide bearing a nasty gash...[break][break]

Furor exclaims before a rumbling rises from its throat, snarling as its head suddenly lurches forwards at Ceruledge. Its toothy maw chomps down with an audible clunk, but its teeth find no purchase... Once again, the stygian knight fades into the gloom, beyond their reproach.[break][break]

It was an annoying little trick he'd seen before.[break][break]

"Keep pressing them," Adrian instructs Furor. Its gnashing teeth stalk closely after Ceruledge whither it may attempt manifesting itself, its frustration mounting as its prey eluded it.

Adrian shook his head; he could scarcely recognize the snothead little brother from his youth. He'd evolved into a shithead at some point, evidently...[break][break]

Adrian stalks into the room and takes a seat. Collected and aloof, he doesn't give off the chaotic vibe of his younger brother, at least not in this moment. Perhaps he's trying to be a role model for Julian.[break][break]

It's still a little hard to believe...[break][break]

But for now, there's a job ahead of them.[break][break]

"There's only one way we're letting you out of here," Adrian admits to them carefully. Outside of the astronomical chance of a League grab-and-dash, he would stay in their custody until they were satisfied with his answers.[break][break]

And so far, they weren't even close.[break][break]

"You've got a family? People you want to see again? Things left you'd like to do..." None of them were available to him here, they may not even know where he was. And they might never, if they didn't cooperate.[break][break]

"Give us the intel, and you can go back to them." Or stay here and rot as their captive.[break][break]

Makes little difference to me.

Adrian shook his head, disagreeing with Howard's sentiment—though he'd often fallen into the same trap. It was just another part of romanticizing their death, making it out to be some sort of poetic justice... But it just simply wasn't.[break][break]

"It isn't something that's deserved, Howard. It's something that's owed." A debt was incurred the moment you first screamed out your first lung full of air as a babe. The details of it were something of circumstance; rarely was one able to give it anymore meaning than that. Sadly, this coldly logical conclusion only made death appear even stranger and alien yet.[break][break]

It wasn't deserved. It wasn't fair. It wasn't methodic. It just simply was. One day they would each of them have to accept that...[break][break]

But that was something for another time.[break][break]

"You won't die here, I think." Adrian seems confident in his words, and though he no longer has the penchant for telling... Howard has a moment of reassurance from his words.[break][break]

"You've got too many people looking after you." His words radiated the truth.[break][break]

Adrian takes a casual glance at some of the monitors. Nothing has started beeping concernedly, at least, so he takes it as good fortune and a better omen. Howard would take the necessary time to mend...[break][break]

And after, he would emerge better than the man that had entered—and the world would be right.

That was simply the nature of the question. There wasn't a ready answer to be found.[break][break]

"They never told me." It was as Howard said, though. 'Die young.' In its own way, there was a wisdom to their words. There was an unseen merit in dying young—perhaps even dying at all. A broken body could be mended, a wounded spirit could convalesce...[break][break]

But time weathered them in ways medicine could not abate. They were fated for the soil. So why languish in the winter of their years? Habit is the only real answer any of them have. Habit and fear.[break][break]

Howard asked him how he could bear it. There was no one answer. No one path through life.[break][break]

"You just have to find your own way."[break][break]

Adrian was by his nature a hedonist. Pleasures and thrills. Life was about engrossing yourself in that. Chasing after the things that moved you in some way. Pushing back at the looming conclusion until that most bitter of ends...[break][break]

"Even if life is a bunch of inconsequential experiences until you die, you just have to keep grabbing onto that next moment, until it finally gets away from you," he spoke.[break][break]

Yveltal might have waxed overly on its necessity, the good it did, but humanity could not understand it through the lens of an amortal being. Death was a wretched, vile thing...[break][break]

How could they see the beauty in this perpetuating cycle, when it trampled over the meaning of their actions—threatened their cumulative histories and cultures? They couldn't.[break][break]

They would never fully realize that Death had inspired Life. That creation was dull and unimaginative without such compelling forces at work. Because they could not see all of this through the lens of their lone mortal life.[break][break]

Death was instead a cruel end woven into their harsh reality—an existential byproduct.[break][break]

"Perhaps some day, I'll find a better answer for you," he joked.

He's in good spirits.[break][break]

That was most of the battle. He felt a tad more reassured. Howard would make it. Maybe as a changed man for it, but he could endeavor to survive past this chapter—and emerge on the other side of it, stronger. Perhaps these trials and tribulations were something to be thankful for.[break][break]

Though it looked rather painful. Adrian squirms with empathy and just as much to avoid the uncomfortable nature of Howard's question.[break][break]

"I... don't know that I did."[break][break]

Adrian has experienced it all. Narrowly escaping death, watching a life slip away—carrying out the deed, consoling a departed one—he's been on almost every side of it, except for the other side. The living always try to alienate that idea—that comes naturally. Why spend time contemplating it; what good could come of that fearmongering?[break][break]

It might've been more difficult, but Adrian had alienated himself from it then, too. He was too important to be left to let die. This was a delusion he'd fallen into, under Yveltal's patronage.[break][break]

"Someone once told me, 'Don't get old, Adrian,' " he began abruptly. While reminiscing, he began patting down his clothes, searching for something that wasn't there to be found...[break][break]

Adrian would've liked to light a cigarette, but he couldn't here. Scraping at his chin and hunching over, elbows braced against his knees, he elucidated for Howard and attempted an answer.[break][break]

"I said to them, 'What's the alternative?' " Just as suddenly, Adrian was quiet. Where was this going, neither knew...[break][break]

"You look like shit."[break][break]

If it wasn't for Howard's importance... this would have been his death bed. And it may yet. The low hum of myriad devices, all connected to him, filled the silence. This was all that was keeping him alive—and perhaps a shred of intestinal fortitude.[break][break]

Adrian takes the seat, obliged. Much of what defines Howard is still here—the strange eye, and that campy disposition. His body, however frail, seemed to remain intact. But that strange streak of bleached hair... that aroused his suspicion.[break][break]

He couldn't help the corner of his lip tugging away like it did at Howard's wry comment. Heh.[break][break]

"Do you think you'll die?"[break][break]

There was a time he could have told him—but now he is as blinded by the uncertainty as anyone else. Though Adrian hoped to remain optimistic, his tone was indifferent. But his face—it was telling. Howard wasn't necessarily a friend...[break][break]

...But Adrian had begun counting him among them. He would be sorely missed if he passed.[break][break]

Though every word likely exasperates poor Howard, Adrian has not been apprised of the situation. He is curious. What happened? Perhaps some of the mystery is contained in a report, but even if it were, Adrian is not one to utilize Rocket's resources. Howard would tell him—or he simply might never know what almost killed him.[break][break]

"TCH."[break][break]

From out of the mist, BRELOOM makes sweeping strikes at GRENINJA—dealing a telling blow. By a hair's breadth is it able to avoid succumbing to injury, but it bears the marks of its struggle. Its body trembles where it was struck...[break][break]

Very quickly their STONJOURNER are being overwhelmed. Adrian's feet slosh in the rising tide. He's looking for a quick gain and to cut his losses—and he can see the way forward.[break][break]

"Get it together, GRENINJA."[break][break]

The pokemon is clearly more than a little fazed—its wits have been knocked out of it. But he trusts the creature to make itself useful before being forced to withdraw. Adrian backs away, and his STONJOURNER heaves itself out of the sand, entering the fray at Adrian's gesturing.[break][break]

"Bind BRELOOM with your tongue!"[break][break]

The fleshy appendage would dart out as it unfurled from around its neck, lashing out at BRELOOM, hoping to bind it within the paralyzing swathe of its tongue.[break][break]

"STONJOURNER," he calls out as it lumbers over as if on stilts, towering over the battle.[break][break]

He might've liked to brave past the Ceruledge—and he might've, once upon a time. He used to feel invincible. But now he's caught out deep within Slateport, running afoul of the League, all for a little nostalgia.[break][break]

Things just never went over smooth anymore.[break][break]

Sweat beading along his forehead, Adrian had to take the next step. Release a pokemon, find his exit point... The longer this dragged on, the more curious eyes began to fixate on them. At least one thing was painfully obvious to him now:[break][break]

...There's no way out but the way I make.[break][break]

Brandishing a pokeball, Adrian unleashes his Gyarados, Furor, in a burst of light. Its carnelian scales scrape against concrete as it undulates, flicking its tail. Its mouth hangs agape, a deep bellow escaping from beyond its jagged maw.[break][break]

Yes, he would retreat back to Sootopolis—although it killed him to turn his back on this home a second time. It's why he's so reluctant to leave, and finds such difficulty in mouthing the words. He doesn't have a direct answer.[break][break]

"...Couldn't leave well enough alone..."[break][break]

Adrian wouldn't turn to face her accusing sneer.[break][break]

Eyes fixated on the Ceruledge, Adrian mutters his first command to Furor, as the sea serpent's lumbering form unfurls itself: Dragging its tail against the side of the building, windows begin splintering; the coarse sound of its scales scraping against pavement grinds in their ears.[break][break]

"CRUSH 'EM, FUROR."

"Is there something el—"[break][break]

They seize his wrist—at first he pulls back lightly, out of reflex. A quick jab peppers his features, catching him unawares. Enough to smart, but he's been through worse. Knitting his brow, his eyes smoldered with ire.[break][break]

"You'll regret that," he muttered.[break][break]

He wouldn't go down like this.[break][break]

Taking a halfstep back, his wrist goes slack before twisting towards their thumb; sharply tearing his arm away, he'd break the hold.[break][break]

If she fought for the hold, it'd only draw her in.[break][break]

Adrian is surprisingly nimble in his opportunism: Even as he frees himself, a knee pitches upwards, his boot jutting outwards to catch her square in the gut before touching back down.[break][break]

Messy and exacting details of their scuffle aside, he would hope to be free of their grasp and beyond their immediate reproach.[break][break]

Free of their hold and finding that much needed buffer, Adrian would about-face and attempt an exit to avoid getting trapped deep in Slateport.[break][break]

I just need to make it to the next district.

Oh, f#ck...[break][break]

They had meant him.[break][break]

He'd been noticed after all—not that it should've surprised him, really. But he's blindsided by the stranger's approach, having some close—literally close enough to walk back into the life he'd left behind. If only it were that easy; to reach out a hand, and grasp—[break][break]

The name TERAVOLT jolts him back, grounding him in the reality of the situation.[break][break]

"No, you're wrong—" he grunted back.[break][break]

"That guy wouldn't show up here. Not now."[break][break]

How they handled his rebuff would govern the nature of their exchange going forward.[break][break]

Fingers twitched readily as he pondered over the red-on-white orbs adorning his belt.

Adrian stops, his head on a swivel. That couldn't have been for him, right? It's easy to make that mistake when you've grown accustomed to the attention. Still, he searches around for a familiar face—someone looking at him—but he doesn't see it.[break][break]

Surely they wanted someone else's attention.[break][break]

Still, for the moment he was rattled...
