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.

[this is fair and valid, but also embarrassing

But dear god, Duma, you are likely gonna be a host to a bunch of Pokemon just kind of squabbling and squeaking sadly--Arion can actually see now, at least, but there's just a whole bunch of "But I don't want her to go!" "What if she doesn't come back?!" "We need to protect her!" "I don't wanna be alone!"

It. It takes some time after that, the teary eyed team just kind of looking to Emmeryn with some level of concern. It takes a little while for some of them to just...talk among themselves, fidgeting--some are calmer than others, at the very least, but Haar's the first to nod his head at Emmeryn's question, leaning into the pettings a bit. Eda is next, after a moment or two--the trash child just kind of snuggling up to Emmeryn's other hand. Melady follows suit, and Beruka does as well...

...And while they takes the longest to do so, after some encouragement, Altena and Arion seem to agree as well, nodding their heads.]

...You have my dearest of thanks, Emmeryn. [And she really means that.] I swear on my life that I will return to you all--safe and sound, so we can all be merry and in one another's company again. You have my word. [...she chuckles a bit.] It's the most I can offer, since my titles of home will not matter.
