Thank you, Mesprit, for taking all this time to listen to and speak with us. I suppose having a group of strangers invite themselves into your home and bare their souls for you wasn't quite something you expected out of the day, hm?
[But there comes a laugh as she says it, light and easy. Latona and Audhulma are back in their Pokéballs now, overcome by the cave's sense of misery, but Duma stays faithful at her feet (probably after an interlude of making Lucas pet him tbh), even if he's a little sniffly.]
My name is Emmeryn. My dear friend here is Duma. In a country to the west of my home, there is a legend about an ancient dragon god long since laid to rest, and he is my companion here's namesake. He was known as the father of his people, who led them with a strong and steady hand. He has lived up well to his namesake. Against all the trials we have faced, even when he has been angry or frightened, he has stood unshakable at my side. I love him so.
[Duma's making an intense effort to like...hide in his orb, even though he absolutely is not a turtle and that's not how it works, this entire time. MOOOMMM YOU'RE EMBARRASSING HIM IN FRONT OF GOD]
Of course you can well see him and the rest of my traveling companions before you, and yet to see them like this...my heart is too full to speak of anything else. I love them all so, and to know what trials we have faced, and to know there are others endured while they were strangers yet left unspoken, and to see them push through and now to offer their hearts here in whatever small-seeming, marvelous way in hopes of helping...and to make this journey alongside them—I cannot tell you how ever more certain I become of that love. How grateful I am to this land for bringing me to each of them.
[For bringing her at all, that she might breathe and laugh and walk behind and beside without anything more being expected of her.]
You have my gratitude as well; as Sinnoh does, for it is yours as much as anything, but as you do, for hearing us all.
