    Koa's words gave Steven pause. "Training session?" he echoed. After what happened last time, Koa was okay with trying again? But no, he had to remind himself, this was about second chances. Steven smiled. "I'd like that. Maybe if the opportunity arises, the monks would allow us use of their...

    Steven was glad to see Koa's smile. He hadn't meant to drop his problems in the young trainer's lap, especially not in the wake of Koa's own burden finally being lifted from his shoulders. He should have been allowed a moment to breathe without having to worry about anyone else. At least it...

    Steven dragged his hands down his face, managing a weak laugh in the process. "I'm sorry. All I wanted to do was apologize to you and it's turned into this." He swept an arm in a meandering arc, appearing more bemused than distraught. He offered Koa a weak smile. "Thank you, though. I...

    "I... I don't know? It's why I asked you about your world's version of me. That maybe, if there were parallels of some sort, some of this would make sense, but..." Steven stammered his way through the explanation, sounding more lost with every word. He stared down at his upturned hands, trying...

    "Oh." Again, that was not an answer Steven was expecting, and he was left staring at Koa with a puzzled expression and no more answers than he had previously. "That's... not what I saw. I didn't really see much of anything, to be honest. It was dark, and I heard a voice speaking to me...

    "Ah, so he's alive. That's good." For some reason, it sounded like Steven was simultaneously relieved, yet apprehensive of the news. Though he quickly hid his unease in a chuckle. "And researching mega stones? It certainly sounds like something I would do." Steven listened as Koa beamed up at...

    Steven blinked. That was... not the reaction he'd been expecting. Or maybe it had been, originally. Now, though? After everything he'd done, how he'd conducted himself. Koa had every right to call him a poor excuse for a Champion. Yet he didn't. It managed to shake loose a small chuckle of...

    "Ah, thank you," Steven mumbled. It was rote recitation, since he wasn't entirely sure he should accept congratulations for something he hadn't intended to do. But it's not like he could undo it, either. "It's helped to abandon the idea of merit when it comes to evolution, even if it's dictated...

    'Out thinking.' Steven almost could have laughed at the innocent way Koa phrased it. Although 'complete meltdown caused by presuming he faced the same monumental expectations he was used to bearing, along with a sense of inadequacy from being stripped of his usual lifelines when he'd reached...

    Koa's forgiveness sounded genuine enough, but there was some hesitation in his reply. Steven winced, knitting his claws together and drawing his arms close to his body. Of course it wouldn't be so easy to climb out of the hole he'd dug for himself. He held Koa's gaze for a moment before he...

    "It's about--" Steven froze when Koa turned around. The genuine curiosity and amiable look on Koa's face; gods why couldn't this be an easy conversation. He sighed, motioning with one arm for Koa to follow him. He ushered the two of them to one of the nearby rooftops, somewhere with a bit more...

    Threadmarks: [Ch05] - An apology, long overdue

    The meeting in Sybil's workshop ended successfully enough for Steven's taste. Not a complete success, given the minor setback with Leona, not to mention he was still rather unnerved by his own strange reaction to the Relic. But neither of those were enough to deter him from finally finding Koa...

    Steven nodded at Sybil's words before his eyes furrowed in thought. The Relic was invaluable, and Cipher was still out there searching for it. It needed to stay somewhere guarded and safe. Then how could they bring its power to those who needed it most? He almost spoke up to offer his...

    Steven nodded first at Wes, then Koa. "I agree, if the Relic is still sufficiently capable, we should test it now to see if it can cure others. But before we do, I'd like to take a look at the Relic myself. Perhaps I might be able to glean something new from a closer examination? I wouldn't say...

    Steven continued to stare with wide-eyed alarm at what had just transpired. What exactly had transpired, he didn't know. But he could tell at least that it was some kind of cleansing. A horrifically taxing and painful cleansing. Shakily, he spoke up, some of the earlier hope he'd felt at the...

    Steven watched in wide-eyed wonder as the Relic glowed with Radiance-imbued power. His wonder, though, quickly turned to dread at the state of three of their party; one more than was affected at the Oasis. If the Relic had healing properties, why was it harming them instead? He hung in tense...

    Steven visibly recoiled when Sybil unwrapped the leg. Her souvenir was a leg. She had someone's leg. And not because they'd chosen to donate it to science. "I, um, thank you," he managed, a slightly woozy look crossing his expression. "How, uh, innovative." He was rather grateful when she...

    Steven spared a moment to return Koa's wave with a nod of acknowledgement. The lingering thought that he owed the young trainer quite the explanation still weighed on his mind. He'd try to catch up with Koa afterward, but for now, Sybil's words buried his worries as quickly and thoroughly a...

    "When I got your summons, I came as quickly as I could," said Steven, offering Sybil a polite bow as he entered her workshop. He couldn't hide his eager glance towards where the Relic rested on her desk. Before he got too caught up in the excitement, he looked back at Sybil with a quiet hum...
