    "Wouldn't be the first Saint we've met that prefers to act like a force of nature," Steven muttered. They'd at least managed to have a conversation with the Roaming Cyclone. Talking to this Glastrier seemed solidly off the table... "Which, thank you again for your help," he said, this time to...

    Steven had to work to keep his growing horror in check as Laura outlined what sort of Champion she'd been accustomed to. Rigged matches were already appalling enough, yet that paled in comparison to the fact that he'd aided and abetted in the destruction of his own region. No wonder she'd looked...

    Steven realized his mistake the second Laura sent a scathing look his way. "Laura? I'm sorry, that was inappropriate of me--" He was halfway to raising his hands in apology when she unleashed the rest of how she felt. If Steven had a jaw, it would have been on the floor. "Normal? Perspective...

    Steven jumped along with Jade's surprised shout, though he echoed the sentiment. It certainly explained the psychic presence he had felt. But... Wait, they'd all been watching the cave entrance. When had Latios--? Never mind, at least now they knew who to thank for saving their behinds. "I...

    It was Steven's turn to stare dumbly at Laura's outburst. "My problem? What?" His gaze darted from her, to the ground, to his hands, then back to her, searching for an answer of what she was on about. "Routine?" Did she think he was faking it? That it was all a lie? A song and dance to sway...

    Courage? That's not how he would describe it. More like 'impulsive shortsightedness'... It annoyed him that he could hear the phrase in not just his father's voice, but Wallace's too. "I know it hurts," he murmured, bringing a hand up to cover his heart. Or at least where the heart was in a...

    Steven had braced himself, expecting scrutiny, maybe a gentle chastising (or not so gentle.) But when Laura didn't deliver either of those, he was taken slightly aback. Blinking, his fidgeting stopped. "Well, there was no guarantee it would even work... It was more like a hope and prayer. But...

    "My team?" At first, Steven's only reaction was his eyes widening slightly-- like he remembered something-- before his gaze darted down and away, awash with guilt. "I didn't tell them about my plan. Metagross knew, I confided in them while putting everything together. But Aggron, Cradily, the...

    Once inside, Steven veered to the side of the entrance and came to a shaky rest against the rocky wall. Never had he felt so relieved to be in a cave. (Okay maybe that was a slight exaggeration, but it helped that the alternative was being crushed beneath a torrent of icicles out there.) "I'm...

    Four words. Four simple words that slammed into his bulwark of misery like a sledgehammer. Four words that took a rock pick to his heart. There were a good number of humans in their group, humans who were trainers. Humans who left their beloved partners behind to answer a call for help across...

    Chunks of ice pinged off of Steven's body from every direction as the ground fairly exploded from the creature's attack. Had he heard Laura call it a Saint? Either way, Bellatrix's illusion had done its job. A quick scan of their group showed everyone still standing. Somehow. No, he knew how...

    The insistent prickling intensified; it wasn't the cold turning to needles, spiking in time with the rapid footfalls growing closer. Foe foe foe foe-- Steven froze. They weren't going to be able to retreat in time. "Too late for that illusion, Bellatrix?"

    Steven squinted through the dusk-touched landscape, drifting up, then down, trying to get a sense of depth in the increasingly ethereal light. Just like the mountain, there was definitely something there. Something he'd never seen before. Was it following them? If so, how long had it trailed...

    Steven's gaze fell momentarily at Laura's mention of disaster and the fate of the kingdom. He couldn't help but wonder if something made that mountain, and in doing so left no one behind to update the map... Hopefully, if that was the case, whatever created it didn't stick around once the deed...

    The concept of snow was just that to most people from Hoenn: a concept. The closest they got was the ash from Mt. Chimney, but the similarities started and ended with "a fluffy blanked made of flakes falling from the sky." Thankfully, Steven was well traveled, and had visited Sinnoh plenty of...

    Ah. Of course that would be a strange statement to most people. Perhaps he should explain... "I grew up in a... wealthy family in Hoenn," Steven began, gingerly working to release his claws from the mangled railing. "When my mother passed--" he wrenched one hand completely free-- "our...

    From somewhere far away, Steven heard something. Did he even hear it, buried so deep in his grief? It was more like he felt it, traveling through the vibrations of the metal crunched in his grip. Someone was here. Here. Slowly, Steven crawled his way back to the forefront of his mind, and...

    Threadmarks: Ch07 - Any Port in a Storm

    When Steven left the museum, he had no destination in mind. All he knew was that he didn't want to be there amongst the proof of his fate, amongst the reminders of home. But he didn't want to be anywhere else, either. Instead, he wandered the streets of Novalux without rhyme or reason, drifting...

    Steven was only dimly aware of the conversation between Laura and Ralsen. The words went in, but weren't really being processed. The only thing that jolted him from his misery was the sound of his name. He focused his gaze to the speaker-- Laura, he was here with Laura-- his eyes startlingly...

    "A purpose?" Steven repeated, murmured as if to himself. It was his turn to inspect his upturned claws. Hands? He should have hands, but here they weren't. A body created for him because of what? Because he thought he could be helpful? The run in with the Cyclone flickered through his mind. A...
