tuesday week 13 ☆ interrogate cynthia club
[Emmeryn spends the earliest part of the week floating the idea of getting everyone together at once, less in a way like she's taking a poll and more like this is totally happening so get your thoughts together ahead of time—and Tuesday late in the afternoon she gathers everyone, Lucas and Cynthia included, in the Pokémon Center. Better that they all hear the answers together, she figures; better that Cynthia doesn't have to answer the same question twenty-odd times, is how she presents it to her beforehand, while apologizing for asking her to be at the center of things like that. It all comes together regardless, one way or another.
So! Here we are in the Pokémon Center; maybe it's kind of a tight fit but, y'know, worse has happened. Worse will probably happen again in the future if we're being completely honest with ourselves. Duma, about as useful as ever, stands half-asleep at Emmeryn's feet.]
Thank you so much for agreeing to come see us all like this, Cynthia. We have quite a bit of catching up to do, don't we?
[floor's yours everyone please don't make emmeryn have to put on her babysitting hat]

Tell me about Candice and Maylene, though. Was it good news?
WOW OOPS
It... well, Maylene was inspiring, in a way. Actually, by "beyond your reach" do you mean "employed by Team Galactic?" Because that's how we met Maylene. She was an operative working for Jupiter, sent to intervene when we arrived at Azelf. She came to her senses during out encounter, but resolved to go back into Galactic's fold, presuming she might be able to do something from within.
[ SHe'll..... I mean... Candice..... give her a bit. ]
OOPS........
It's good to know that Maylene is taking action, however.
[She hasn't missed the omission of Candice; she doesn't press, though, she'll be patient.]

So the Elite Four are free of Galactic's control and not imprisoned...? That's fortunate, isn't it?
[ She nods.
...
... Okay. ]
As for Candice... She- ... We encountered her when we met with Uxie. [ She swallows and. ] ... Uxie destroyed her memories. She - well, she is recovering in Snowpoint, now. But it does mean that she is in some ways no longer the same gym leader.

Cynthia kind of...takes a moment, her expression doing something odd before she seems to try to rein it back in - it's the sort of thing Zelda is likely familiar with, the sort of thing Emmeryn is familiar with, just...don't show anything for now and the rest can happen privately.]
...What matters is that she's safe. That she can recover as best she can. I have no doubt that she did what she could for Uxie and the region.

Thank you for letting me know.

No... of course. It is only right for... well, I know that those in Snowpoint will look after her. They were very kind to us, and she was already forming words by the time we left.
[ Which seems quick and... that's saying too much. She just sort of falls silent. It's a heavy thing, still. ]
no subject
[...She pauses. Doesn't amend it, in the end.]
Candice is a very bright girl. Very dedicated, and very focused. If she has others that love her nearby and the ability to try to help herself, I know she'll do whatever she can.
