004; [action for those around Violet and Route 31/video]

[keychained]

[now, Dapper here hasn't been with his Trainer for very long, but in the short time they have spent together, he's seemed to pick up on Sora's general moods and mannerisms (not that it's difficult to do so): there's the default pretty cheerful Sora, the determined-to-battle-and-win Sora, the frustrated Sora, and most likely Dapper's personal favorite, the Dapper-why-did-you-just-sting-me Sora.]

[but mopey Sora is definitely a new one- new enough for Dapper to see fit to record the occasion like a nature documentary! the feed flicks on to a shot of Route 31, just outside of Violet City. our rare specimen is sitting nearby with his back to the camera, knees drawn up to his chest to serve as a spot to hide his face. Puddles is sitting next to him, nudging at him with a bag of trail mix between its teeth, because food is always a good pick-me-up apparently.]

... It's fine, Puddles. Really.

Huh?

[there's a lot of shuffling around and a loud "Weedle!" in protest as Sora tries to pull Dapper off the pokégear.]

-- Yeah, I'm okay... Just missing someone, that's all.

Someone from home?

... Yeah, I know that feeling.

Sort of. She was here, but... she left.

Maybe we'll both see who we're missing soon.

[There's a wry smile that Sora cant see.] Someone left for me too.

But they'll be back. [Just like how Sora came back.] If they don't... at least they're home, right?

Really? I'm sorry..

That's what I keep telling myself. I'm just really not very good at waiting to see people again, I guess.

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Ha. And long ago I didn't want to see a few people.

voice;

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[he means no harm by the questioning; it just hasn't occurred to him yet not to pry.]

voice;

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

A lot of things happened before.

[A bit of finality in his words. He doesn't like talking about that past.]

voice;

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well..

[Sora picks up on that, and defaults to an awkward silence for a minute, thinking.]

I guess that stuff doesn't really matter anyway. As long as you've got your friends with you now, right?

Re: voice;

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

Right.

Still miss them though. Then again, who wouldn't?

voice;

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I miss my mom, too, now that I think about it.

voice;

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

[... God mommy issues.]

Miss her too. [But not for the same reasons.]

... I don't think she'd want you to cry though.

voice;

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[heeeyy, Sora is a manly man, and manly men don't cry! he's so not a manly man..]

I know, I know. I just haven't seen her since our islands were destroyed. I don't know if she's all right.

[It's okay, Hope cried for his mom and dad ;3;]

I cant tell you that.

voice;

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... I know! I'll write her a letter.

voice;

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea.

[One Hope might not emulate, but hey, if it makes Sora feel better.] She might get it one day.

All the worlds are connected under one big sky...

Maybe if I caught a bird pokémon it could fly a letter to her!
