    Gladion laughed, welcoming a diversion from whatever Nova was alluding to. “Could always try just hitting it repeatedly. See how long it takes! And yeah. I’ll keep an eye on Sage. Won’t let anyone hurt them, I swear it.” He felt like he could say that with more confidence now. Nothing they’d...

    Oh, that sounded suspicious. Was there something he should know about? Gladion went over his mental list of Wayfarers, trying to figure out who Nova was talking about. Probably not Archie, he may have been a sorta bounty hunter-y sort, but his past seemed clean. Gladion'd gotten secrets from...

    Aw, that was a pretty sweet way of thinking of it, actually. "It makes sense. Certainly suits you. Hard to picture you working any other way." Gladion had heard though word of mouth about Betel's origins already, which he'd kind of suspected something like that would turn out to be the case...

    "Didn't paralyze either. Guess it's like a substitute" But that couldn't be everything. Substitute was already a move that existed, intuitively Gladion just felt in his gut that there was something more. There just had to be. Shadow stuff was supposed to be... stronger? "We'll just have to...

    Gladion tilted his head. "Does it have a mind of its own, or are you... doing ventriloquism with it." (If someone was going to find a way to do a ventriloquist comedy routine with the physical manifestation of their own shadows, he felt like it would be Nova.) Shooting a weird little shadow...

    "A substitute, huh?" Gladion stood up and circled around to the Guardian. "That's interesting. It's coming from your shadow, so I suppose it makes sense that it'd work more like how you tick. Should I..." He glanced at Nova, then back at the Guardian. "Do you want me to test it out? Poke it...

    What on earth is that? The answer was obvious: It was Nova’s new shadow power. Gladion didn’t get up and put distance between him and Nova, even though a corner of his brain wanted to. He trusted Nova. He didn’t have to worry. Even in spite of that, he allowed himself some leeway to lean away...

    "I... don't know. I'd hope so, it'd be the right thing to do. I see why you did it." And yet, he couldn't really picture himself doing it. He had Hazel to protect. Had to live for her sake as much as his own, she depended on him. He'd do it to save her. "If I had to to protect my partner, I...

    Oh. So the timing wasn't a coincidence, then. That made sense. And if there was someone like that keeping an eye on Nova for him, maybe that'd be alright. "Glad you're getting that shot. But I'd rather get sent home than let you bite it early. So if we get put against the wall you're gonna have...

    Gladion smiled, in spite of himself. He still didn't know what a soul did even, in the sense that he wasn't sure what it did to affect who people were. But he wanted it to be true, and it wasn't anywhere close to the weirdest thing he'd heard about so far, so he chose to believe it. "Sure, I...

    Huh. Gladion had always just assumed Nova'd been like the ones he'd created. This was news to him. "Cynthia? She's the champion right now. Of Sinnoh. Don't know that much else about her, so I guess her being involved in this stuff is a your-world thing." There really wasn't a coherent way to...

    Where was Nova going with this? "Think Odette introduced that one. A name for our species." That was true of Forlas, at least, but... "I think I came up with it? Or, will come up with it from where I am now. A name other than Type: Full for our species." It was a pretty literal name, which...

    Gladion seemed more worried then amused. "You can come to Terminal One if you need to. I... I see the logic in going to keep him busy directly, I do, It's just..." He never had been capable of saying what he meant outright. This was pathetic. If he wanted to say something he should just do it...

    "Gonna beat the snot outta some Cipher people, nothing new about that. Alexander's more of an unknown variable. But, well, I'm not sure I'm set up to comprehend the scale of what's going on there. It hardly feels real to me. Not in terms of having to fight him, I'm ready for that, but the stakes...

    The stars had left a feeling like some kind of itch beneath Gladion's skin, dormant and waiting for release. He'd have time to figure that out later, though. There were more important things to address right now. Like Nova. He'd just dropped a hell of a piece of info on them, he couldn't just...

    “Don’t really care if we leave them, but it sounds like they wouldn’t be leaving much behind if they just walked. My main point is we should get straight to the festival as soon as possible. No more diversions.”

    Gladion furrowed his brow. “Frankly, I’m not sure what all this effort is even for. It’s not a particularly wild guess to figure we’d take some interest in something that’s at least in some sense related to us. I don’t know why they’d want to tail us if they know where we’re going, but if they...

    Gladion narrowed his eyes. “As generous as the word ‘victims’ feels in this context, I’ll grant that taking you in seems unnecessary when you’re probably more of a hazard to yourselves than anyone around you…” Trying to take the edge off his voice, he took a long breath and held it for a moment...

    Gladion stopped pulling the cart. Okay, that’s a Scyther, right? They not know what it is? Not from ‘around here’ maybe? Not much he could say to Aipom about that, though. Unlike… someone talking from inside the cart. That was inherently suspicious. At least in a context you had to smack the...

    Gladion looked the cart up and down. Just cloth? That… should be doable. “Well, we’re headed to the same place. I wouldn’t mind lending you a… bit of assistance in getting it there.” He shot the Aipom an inquisitive look as he stepped up to the cart. “Though I do want to ask you to give us...
