Lian and Emmet relationship (wtst).

They're fools, your honor.

Joking aside, I haven't thought too hard about it. Lian is pretty young, so Emmet would probably feel a level of protectiveness just due to how young the kid is. Maybe a little bit baffled at the fact that the Pearl Clan appointed such a young kid to be Warden to such a distant Noble, as Lian is quite, quite far from his home and family.

(Similarly, Emmet just gives Adaman the most disconcerting stare after meeting the tot that is Sabi. Like, bro, why, she is in what is arguably the most merciless part of Hisui and she's even younger than Lian.)

I do think they would get along, and could be considered friends, even though they might not interact too much, what with Lian being mostly in the Heartwood and surrounding forests while Emmet is off literally everywhere else in Hisui doing things for the Pokedex.

I do think that Emmet would enjoy listening to Lian ramble about Kleavor and all the various stones he's studied and found, though -- the kid's cute, oddly familiar, and listening to someone else talk passionately and at length puts Emmet at ease, for some reason.

Lian, similarly, likes having someone to talk to, and although Emmet doesn't say much, he is a very good listener. He's brought the boy stones before, when he's passing through -- ones from the other parts of Hisui, where Lian doesn't get the chance to rock-hunt very much, and rare elemental stones used for evolving Pokemon.

Yeah, I think they're friends. They deserve to be friends.

(There's an odd familiarity about Lian. Something about the hat and the hair, and the overall rather gruff and tough demeanor -- even though Lian is a bit too small to be a properly imposing figure, and he can get riled up easily. He is, after all, still a child)

(Fossils, Emmet thinks one day, entirely out of the blue -- the boy would probably be fascinated by fossil Pokemon)

(And there's a particular Pokemon he thinks would be helpful to Lian and his mining escapades. Small and short-furred, with big claws. It's familiar, and he thinks it gets much bigger when it evolves; regardless of what stage of life it's in, though, it is entirely capable of tunneling through earth and stone alike)

Thank you very much for the ask, Anon! I hope this answers your question, and that you have a very good day.

#asks #anon ask #warden lian #subway boss emmet #submas #wtst #eggin's writings #thank you for the ask!#he's thinking of drilbur and exadrill at the end #frankly they're very cute critters #and lian deserves them #he should have a cute little mining buddy #also emmet probably wonders if Lian will grow to fit the vague memories he has #I really want to write something with them now #I have a few ideas that I'd like to compile into a series of oneshots for wtst #and now I want to write both lian and emmet interacting #and emmet just taking one look at clay and struggling with the fact that while lian clearly did well enough in life to have descendants #lian is also very very dead by now #and some people are simply reminders of that fact #the fact that people emmet knew are dead now #even if he wasn't close to very many of them it hurts #and because he doesn't know what happened to lian #all he remembers him as is a child #so from emmet's perspective. even though he knows lian grew up. it's hard to not think of lian as a child #and therefore lian died far. far too young to him #and sabi died even younger #oh look more angst
