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.

[...Oh, honey.]

Sena, darling. I'm sure they'll understand when you have a chance to explain it to them--what happened here, and the circumstances of such a thing are not your fault at all. They'll be right there waiting with open arms. I'm certain of that.

[...Can she ruffle his hair a bit, she's gonna if she can, but the words she speaks are determined. The question, though, gets Camilla to smile.]

I do need to check to see if our plans are still concrete, but I will be going back with someone else to their world. I do wish to keep an eye on them, after all; everything is bound to be chaotic, and I would be worried sick about them if I didn't.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

...You're right. We've been together too much as a team for anything other than that to happen...

[He looks a little more reassured when she ruffles his hair, at least.]

Really? You're not going back home? [There's a few of you guys who aren't, huh?]

[anythingforyou]

Exactly, dear. It'll work out perfectly--you'll see.

[...]

No, it'd...cause more problems than it's worth, to do so. [Camilla averts her gaze a bit.] ...I don't know how they're doing, or how they'll be, but--I know that much with certainty. Besides that, there's someone I need to keep an eye on, too.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

...Really?

[Sena can't help but tilt his head in confusion. He's seen how Camilla is, how she dotes on anyone she cares for. It's hard to imagine her being satisfied with leaving behind her precious people in her world.]

...Not even to just check up on them...?

[anythingforyou]

[Camilla shakes her head, sadly--there's definitely an air of reluctance in her, but...]

It would be too dangerous to do so, I'm afraid. As saddening as such a thing is.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

[As if paralleling her expression, Sena's lips turn downward, clearly upset for her sake.]

...That doesn't seem fair to you. After everything...

[anythingforyou]

[Camilla pauses a bit, just...turning away.]

...It really isn't. I'm going to miss them all terribly, and all I can do is pray that they find some form of happiness in the world.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

...You're strong, Camilla.

[He's always had that impression, but...]

[anythingforyou]

...I do what I can to. It's never been an easy thing, to know that and be able to find strength in myself...

[...she's just gonna reach out and ruffle Sena's hair a bit, putting a smile back on her face.]

But...I believe in them to be okay. And that perhaps one day, they'll find themselves in this world, away from everything else, and then we'll find each other again. I'm sure of it.
