    Yeah, that was true, wasn't it? The Wayfarers had really come into their own since they landed, and no doubt they could more than go toe to toe with the average Lantern goon. Brisa couldn't help but grin. "Best we get plannin'," she said, with a satisfied growl. "Though... What kinda odds have...

    Gods, but she did care. Enough to change her, opening her up, her terse demeanour peeling away to reveal the raw feeling beneath... Brisa looked away, getting a hold of herself after the surge of feeling that Jade's 'reveal' had spurred. As the moment passed, she felt almost unsteady on her...

    Brisa got a hold of herself, meeting Jade's eyes. What was that look...? Hard to tell. Emotional, sure, but not... what she'd feared. And sincere, too. Brisa had overreacted, was the message she got. And Starr had been turning it around already, back home. She'd talked about that – but always...

    Brisa nodded along, indifferent to the initial awkwardness. She knew Jade was human, it was obvious – it was just like meeting Starr all over again. Not to mention that she'd had enough time to figure out what a human felt like, aura-wise... She blinked. Played Jade's words over again in her...

    Well, something about this sure was eating the poor girl, though Brisa didn't have much idea what, exactly... "Uh, yeah... She got back some idea of who she was over time, though it seemed like the details always stayed pretty fuzzy." Starr, the disoriented, amnesiac Litten – standoffish...

    So keen! Yeah, Jade sure seemed older, but she was still young. Brisa blew a silent chuckle through her nose. "It's familiar an' strange all at once," she said, summarising the whole ordeal in one short sentence. Of course, townie folks – was Jade a townie? She seemed like it – didn't do...

    Threadmarks: [Ch07] ~ A Rangers' Reunion

    When Brisa saw Jade last, she'd watched her disappear ahead of her – a shrinking feline figure on a train car's observation platform. She'd been alone and trapped before Jade helped her escape the Lanterns, and then she'd gone straight back to being alone, trapped with the Lanterns, fighting...

    Laura pursed her mouth tightly, tilted her chin up, forced down the waterworks before they got a chance to turn up. Getting choked up over missing Malachai was bad enough – or good enough, if it had made the difference in Isidora realising she was sincere – she wasn't about to get leaky over...

    Okay, okay, this was something. Laura tensed and untensed – she was walking a tightrope while blindfolded. Don't overthink. Trust your gut. "I don't expect you to just suddenly trust me," she said, feeling breathless. "I just want the chance to build trust, instead of being written off. And...

    Well, at least Laura hadn't really expected to successfully mask her emotional reaction, before. Or intended to, really – it would feel dishonest, somehow, to conceal her feelings outside of basic tact. And hey, Isidora hadn't taken offense. Instead the Sneasel just seemed... smaller. At least...

    "Oh, uh... Right, it sounded like— Okay." The reaction was obvious – if Laura hadn't been good enough before to pick up on tells like that, her Forlasan day job had given her the eye for it since. Isidora had been receptive for just a second there, and then... there it was. She really did have...

    Laura suppressed a quip or two about oh, sounds like you're describing the ruling class, and listened. No matter how provocative any of it was, she had to keep hearing Isidora out. After all, it wasn't like there was any counter-argument to be made here, nothing to say that would help matters...

    Laura hesitated, a dozen different responses springing to mind. That it wasn't like that, that her partners set their expectations for her more than the other way round, that it was trust rather than a lack of trust? That she only ever wanted to help? That Isidora could've said something sooner...

    There it was. The disdain, contempt, whatever it was. Laura sighed, already fighting down the urge to storm off or challenge Isidora to a battle. "No," she said, then smiled thinly. "Well, not yet." She was gambling with herself by trying this, wasn't she? "I wanna talk about this," she...

    Even with the temperatures falling, Laura still liked to get out for a walk during the twilight hours, or even at night if the moon was bright enough. It was bright enough now – and the cold just made her think of home. The Circhester chill. Besides, a surprising number of venues ran a night...

    Well, it is possible that the ARK Unit species was no longer extant at the time, but they are at least in living memory. It is very difficult for me to recall information about extinct species! Still, I am glad I could be of help, Gladion! Laura nodded and grinned self-consciously. "Yeah, I...

    Now, that was a good question. Laura hadn't really been thinking about Betel's age, but it was strange to think – they sometimes sounded quite like a child, and at other times like they were surely an adult... Well, my earliest memories are unclear, but... I have reason to believe I am less...

    Laura chuckled sheepishly at 'crimes'. It wasn't like talking about that stuff here could consequences back in the 'real world', exactly, but it still didn't seem like a great look for them to openly discuss criminality anywhere local 'mon could eavesdrop... {I'm not sure I follow everything...

    Laura blinked, only partly following. "Wait, are you— You think 'Type: Null' would translate to 'RKS Chimera' if I didn't know it already? Betel, does it work like that?" Not exactly! Translation is contect-dependent. 'Type: Null' is a proper noun composed of words you know, and because...

    Oh, I see... Well, my own linguistic knowledge is drawn from the Forlasan noosphere, and that of the souls in my network. I believe that 'Graydian' is the name that comes to mind for me because it is the most common name by which the species is known on Forlas. Local pokémon have been told that...
