HALL OF ORIGIN. The Hall of Origin isn't without its accommodations - after all, humans do live here from time to time, with at least one of them a permanent resident, and even with Arceus' release it doesn't see fit to just make the place into the glass-paned OSHA violation that it normally seems to be. The building itself contains more or less anything you would need after an encounter like this one, whether you want to sleep or locate something to eat, or simply exist around the others for a while; the large hall you first entered into is likely the best for the latter, and you're welcome to gather there for as long as you need. ...Any food is going to be vegan as hell, however, because no one is sure what else you expected. Cyrus and all three Commanders are present for the time being, and amenable to being approached; granted, Cyrus is going to remain outside with Arceus like the asocial individual that he is. Meanwhile, Saturn and Mars in particular seem...it's difficult to say whether they seem "better" or not, but they don't seem acted upon by the Red Chain's influence anymore. (Which is likely a good thing, whether they consider it to be such or not.) There are plans to be made, of course, and things to be done; for now, however, feel free to enjoy the present moment. It's been well-earned. |

Well, I wouldn't want to upset her--I'll certainly make sure that I make it to see the two of you as often as I can.
[Hell, she even raises her right hand into the air, the gesture firm and resolute.] I give you my word as a princess, that I will see you both as soon as I am able.

I know you will. And I know you'll be fine, wherever it is you end up going. I'll take good care of Altena while you're gone, so you won't have to worry about her, at least.
As for everything else? Well, I guess we'll sort things out eventually. But for now... I think everything will turn out okay.
[Conversations with Cyrus and the other commanders are going to be difficult for awhile, but she really does believe that things will work out somehow.]
...Thanks. For coming to talk to me today and leaving Altena with me, for talking me down before... There's a lot I should thank you for, really. You guys did some pretty amazing things here.

Keep that thought process; it's always good to keep an optimistic mind. And I sincerely hope that it will all work out for you.
[She chuckles a bit, though.]
It really is no trouble, you know? Perhaps it's a bit of a simple thing to say, but it was the right thing to do in such a circumstance. These people have taught me that, more than anything, and it really is worthwhile...that's what I think.
[...]
It's not the way I was taught; I will readily admit that. But I think I owe you a thanks for showing another way, as well.
[...It should really go without saying that one should. Probably solve their problems with a LITTLE less murder, but Listen.]

Heh, I don't think I really did all that much. You guys did a lot for us, and even though this outcome isn't what I expected... I can't say it's a bad thing.
[She might even be pretty pleased with it, though it's not really something she can readily admit yet.]
no subject
...I'm glad to hear that. I simply pray that going forward...this path will help all of you, and help you all find what you want out of the world.
Everyone deserves to find such a thing, after all.
[Even if it takes trial and error.]
