with knowledge comes great responsibility

[What an absolute ordeal all of that was.

Today was certainly one hell of a day, that's for sure; they've managed to take care of another Guardian and gain it's trust (or at the very least, something resembling it), they managed to find Candice and manage to...well, maybe not get her back in a state that's altogether wanted, but ensure they managed to get her at least into a place where she could possibly regain herself. It will likely be a process, as such things are, but they've done their best, and they should have no regrets.

The center is definitely going to be a welcome reprieve for all of their suffering, at the very least. The Kompot is certainly more than enough to likely get everyone warmed back up and in a stable condition, along with the copious amount of blankets the locals have provided. They've got the time to rest and get ready for their next adventure.

Rest well, ye merry band of travelers. You've earned it.]

R...really? I didn't know that bit...

[He stammers.]

I mean, I knew about the resting thing, but I didn't know you could do it gradually...that's good.

[Sena fidgets with his hands.] I don't think I'd want to stay in bed all the time...

[takestheblame]

Staying in bed is like a nightmare for someone who likes to move all the time.

[It's hard to imagine Sena forced to rest in bed for long]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Aha...I'm just used to being able to run, is all...

[he is a good nyooming boy.]

Thanks for the advice, though...

[takestheblame]

Sure. [You'll be running again in no time, kid!] Good job today, by the way.

[He says, as if Sena hadn't gotten his foot into his mouth a couple times. Sena needs encouragement, he supposes]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Mmm.

[He doesn't seem to agree.]

I dunno. I think I kinda...got into a lot of trouble...

For one thing, the concussion. For another thing, pissing off Uxie. Even half-concussed, he could pretty much tell that Uxie comparing him to Azelf was not complimentary.]

[takestheblame]

We all did. Nobody knows how to talk to a deity.

[Even Zelda got into a lot of trouble]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Everyone except Michael, I guess.

[Probably because he technically is a deity. Or something.]

...I wonder what the third one's gonna be like...

[Will they end up seeing something worse than all those frozen corpses...? He doesn't know.]

[takestheblame]

Yeah, that was a surprise. [Michael being the one to not screw up, he means. Well, t was good for everyone, that's for sure]

It'll be a mess. With some luck there won't be death awaiting us. Today was too close for comfort.

[One wrong move when arguing with Candice's Pokemon could have been the end for everyone]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Um. It's...

[It's like walking on the edge of a large precipice. The constant fear and thrill of...]

I don't know. I've never seen things like what we saw over at that lake. I'm not sure what to think of it.

[Scared? Determined? Angry?]

[takestheblame]

Doesn't matter what you think as long as it doesn't deter you. We're halfway done with our current objective. We can't stop now.

[Although it'd be great if it made you feel determined or angry, Sena!]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

...You're right.

[He makes a determined expression, but with his bundle of blankets and slightly dazed eyes, it just looks kind of...cute. Sorry, kid.]

Even if I'm scared, I need to...keep going. It's always been like that...
