"Shall I destroy myself for you, my love? Will you let me?
Can you hear me? Please, I need you to hear me.
Where are you? I don't want to hurt anymore..."
She cries she cries she cries, "Please come home! W-we can go home together!"

She takes a deep breath, lets it out slowly. When she opens her eyes again, there's a steadiness in them that startles him. "You may find yourself with the impulse to be lax with them. You fear them disliking you, so you might be tempted to let them do whatever they please whenever they please." She guesses.
Paleo swallows. It wasn't like he'd set....rules, no. So far they'd listened to him for the most part because survival demanded it, and they all understood that, presumably. "Well...maybe? Are you referring to something specific I shouldn't be letting them do?"
"I'm referring to boundaries in general, really. But most importantly, you need some kind of structure. Respect for you....so that if they begin to do something harmful, you can stop them before anything bad happens." Her gaze hardens.
"You....mean hurting others? They're so young, how could they hurt anyone?"

She shudders, and forces memories down. "It is your responsibility, then, to teach. To be as good to them as you can, and in turn make sure they grow to know how to be good to others."
He remembers the taste of blood in his mouth when he killed the Poochyena. Using strength not guided by a moveset was unpredictable enough for him, damaging in a different way that simply fainting something. He supposed the same would be true for everyone, no matter the age.
He could only imagine how traumatizing it would be for Pokemon as young as his charges to cause that kind of damage by accident.
....he hoped she was referring to something less dire than death. But with the variety of personal tragedies this place showcased, he had no way of knowing.
"...I will keep that in mind, Knalla."

Honey fixes him with an apologetic look. "I was just making sure you heard what I said to everyone else. I'm heading back to Fuse and the kids, I needed to speak with her about something. I know I volunteered to show you around, were you looking to come with me again?"
Paleo forces a smile, and forces his feathers to settle, too. "Well, I'm flattered by the invitation, but...I'd prefer to stay here this time. Knalla was giving me some advice and I'd hate to leave before I've heard it all."
Nervousness around his kids, jealousy of Fuse...honestly it seemed like visiting the other group would be nothing but stressful, at this moment.
He gives a nod. "Alright, just checking. I'll be back in a bit, all."
He turns, and Sunset breaks away from staring at Paleo to dash over to Honey. "Can I come?" She asks.
"Well, of course! You know you're welcome to go anywhere, Sunset!" He replies with a smile. Sunset's tail swishes a little.
Paleo sighs, already feeling the brief bout of stress abate. But then, before the two can even get out of sight, a shadow invades his vision.
His head jerks towards the Zorua. For the briefest moment, she is all he can see. Just her, and the words and whispers that dance.
Tumblr media
Just as quickly as it had come, the darkness leaves. The Zorua turns away from him and scampers off, as if the entire interaction had not happened.
Paleo swallows. He does not let his nerves show.

Paleo stares awkwardly at the little Zorua. To be fair, she's doing the same; staring awkwardly, that is.
Honey glances between them, and lets out a sigh so quiet, Paleo can only see him move with it, rather than hear it at all. Gently, the Goodra leans forward, setting Sunset back on the ground.
She shuffles in place a little, looking back up at Honey with a strange expression. "....do I really have to?" She asks, sounding almost timid.
He gives her a light nod. "It would make me happy if you did." He replied.
Sunset makes a face at that. "Mmmmnnn..."
But then, she turns back towards Paleo. She takes a few steps closer, and then sits down, staring up at him with a half-lidded nervous expression.
Tumblr media
Her tone is flat, unenthused. Paleo can tell the words are being forced out.
They still surprise him, even so. He was fully expecting this to be a situation that didn't get any resolution. "...oh. Uh. I...forgive you, kid."
"Sunset." Acacia reminds him.
"S-Sunset, right. I forgive you, Sunset."
Her ears tilt up a little, at being addressed by name. "Mm."
Paleo looks up, attention drawn to movement from Honey. He's gesturing towards him, making a circular motion with one of his hands.
Paleo isn't sure how to interpret it. He squints.
Honey clears his throat. "Apologize too?" He presses gently. "You scared her real bad."
The Silvally startles at that, genuinely confused. "Wh-? I-"
Knalla cuts him off with a shove, only enough force to get his attention. She levels him with a slight glare.
He gets the message. Down he looks at the Zorua, who's staring up at him expectantly. He clears his throat.

Oh! Another gift, from a kind stranger. Once again, Paleo felt his chest warm pleasantly, at the thought. Just for a moment, he wraps it around his neck, seeing how it felt to wear.
Tumblr media
"I don't know how much I'll wear it, I'm in a bit of a warm climate, right now. But rest assured, should I find myself someplace colder, I will don this and think of you." He smiles, the expression curling his beak. He takes a moment to remove the scarf, carefully stashing it in his saddlebag. "And thank you, as well, for the sentiment. I would gladly visit, once you've restored it all. It's an honor to be invited."
He gives a light bow of his head. "May your quest be a successful one, Lucius. You can count on me rooting for you."

The card may seem like a bare basic pokemon pun card.. But perhaps the large hot homemade meal makes up for the cornyness? also seemed like she still had some of that Coral Blue #2 Semi Gloss Lipstick . . .

He clears his throat, after taking a moment to regain his bearings. "No, I'm...not alarmed, really. Though I suppose I am as surprised as you are, seeing another of my kind. Though....I'm gathering from context clues the implications of our existences are....different." He shakes his head. "I can only hope your...birth...wasn't a prelude to suffering, as mine was."
His eyes lock onto the Ghairy Memory and he suppresses a shudder. "I....do know what those are, yes. The idea of a fused disk of multiple types sounds like a horror story to me, with my own experiences with them." He admits. He wrenches his gaze away before he envisions said horror story. "Compared to what you've described, mine are borderline torturous for me to use. A loss of self-control compared to my own body alterations-"
He stops himself. "No, it's...wrong to compare suffering. I've heard that from my new companions. I apologize." He gives a faint smile of his own. "I hope you can recall all you are missing. I can't imagine how frustrating missing your memories could be. Good luck, friend."

"Huh...." She remarked, before widening her eyes and removing her hands swiftly. "Oh, uh, sorry! I forgot to ask if it was ok to touch your face."
Paleo forces a smile, not because he was actually mad, more that he wasn't sure what expression situations like this called for. "It's fine k....Acacia. No harm done."
Knalla gave an approving nod, to both of them.
The Silvally clears his throat. "Um. To answer the question, early 30s. 32 I think? Timekeeping is hard when you're stuck in a building for most of your life. 32 is my best estimate."
A frown from Knalla. "That's...not really old enough for age lines. Are you alright? Healthy?"
"Not...especially. I haven't had a single good nights sleep since escaping about a month ago. I'm..." A mirthless laugh escapes him. "If I can be frank, I'm running on fumes. But I had to be vigilant, there wasn't any other option."
Knalla goes quiet as Acacia's expression shifts to something sad. "Was it really that dangerous a trip?"
Paleo almost comes out and admits who he's been running from outright on reflex, but catches himself with a sharp intake of breath. "...it's more that I'd never been anywhere but inside that building. I had no idea what was out here. I....I couldn't risk the kids safety on the chance I didn't wake up quick enough." Once again, a truth. Just not the truth.

"It's hard work. I had to get creative with accommodations, considering the only kid here with something like hands is Acacia. But art can help everyone work through their issues...no matter how old. It's an honor to be a part of that."
Acacia squints a little. "Well, the paints don't really do anything for Olliver. But everyone else likes it." She points out.
Knalla lets out a tiny laugh. "I'm still working on getting something that works for him. But the last time I tried to give him clay he tried to eat it, so...it's slow going."
"Oh noooo!" Acacia cried. "I forgot about that!"
"Heh...ahem, anyway. That's a good question for you too, Paleo." Knalla redirects her attention. "What have you been doing to teach your kids?"
He is very, very quiet for a long, long moment.
She raises an eyebrow, prompting.
"I....haven't really been teaching them anything, to be honest with you..." He admits. "Was...was I supposed to?"

"I will say, for starters, you aren't doing as terrible a job as you think you are." Knalla notes.
Paleo grimaces. "That's......I have a hard time believing that, but thank you." He replies.
The Phantump makes a face. "Nah, you care about them lots!" She points out. "Caring about them is a great start, right Miss Knalla?"
The Smeargle gives a proud nod. "Very right, Acacia! You wouldn't be so vocal about what you think is best for them if you didn't want what's best for them, right?"
He's quiet, at that. "....I...suppose that's true." He relents. "...it's not like I really know what that is, though."
Tumblr media
"....kind of??" Paleo questioned, sounding baffled. "How old are you?"
Acacia put a hand to the bottom of her stump, frowning a little. "Well, uh...I don't know. I know I died when I was a kid, but I can't really remember how long ago that was."
Paleo just blinked, almost looking uncomfortable.
Acacia soldiered on. "Eh. From my experience a lot of Phantump are like that. There's like...a thing for some of us, where we don't really feel like we can grow up until we evolve."
"Kid, that's....a concerning thing to hear."
"It's Acacia."
"What?"
"My name is Acacia." She repeated, seeming just a bit more serious. "It's rude to call me kid when you know my name."
"Ah, that's a good place to start." Knalla spoke up. "I've noticed you do that with your own, too. When you speak to little ones like that, it can give the impression you don't see them as individuals."
His feathers ruffled in discomfort. "I..." He started, then stopped again. Despite the shame bubbling beneath his surface, he couldn't stop from trying to defend himself. "In all fairness, they...mostly seem to act like a pair more than two individuals. They don't do anything apart. And there haven't been many times where I've had to say something to one that I haven't needed to say to the other. So I....don't."
