☘ 005; [video]

[This morning the video shows Route 30 from ground level; judging by the sounds, a Venonat is the one messing with the 'Gear today. Her trainer sitting on the ground nearby hadn't seemed to notice it was on just yet. Lancer's hair wasn't even tied back, and it looked like he'd been asleep until not too long ago.]

Some holiday. Leave it to humans to come up with something this ridiculous. [The former Servant spoke mostly to himself, running a hand through his dark and disheveled hair.] But knowing you, you probably would have done something for it.

[Rummaging through his backpack, Lancer kept talking to himself.] If I was even with you for this long, I imagine you'd have made some kind of excuse or just told me to shut up and take whatever you gave me. But you seemed to be kind of a pain like that.

[Smirking, he took out a small object and set it on the ground. Beside it, he stuck half of a broken fishing rod into the ground as a marker of some sort--it wasn't a lance, but it would serve its purpose.]

Just my kind of woman. [A sigh.] I know it's not going to get to you, but this is the best I could manage. I don't expect we'll meet again even in this place, so...farewell, my friend.

[His back to the camera, Lancer stood up and ran a hand through his hair again before finally tying it back. The Servant looked over his shoulder, a small smirk on his face.]

It's about time for us to get going. We should find that Cecil kid if we want to get to Violet soon.

Let's go...Fragarach.

[The Venonat gave a happy sound in response, knocking over the Pokegear and turning off the video in her rush to hop over to her Trainer.]

...yeah, same here.

[His voice had a small measure of sympathy to it as he glanced away awkwardly.]

... Sorry. [ Now she feels guilty for bringing it up for them both, and hangs her head. Cue awkward silence. ]

[Awkward silence? Lancer eats those for breakfast.]

Hey, don't worry about it. It's not like any of that matters here--kind of like a second chance, isn't it?

[ Have a brief pause. Xion is actually one of those rare few that sort of want to go back. But he is right, and he's almost scarily echoing what Namine told her, so... ]

Yeah, it is. It's... I guess it is refreshing.

If nothing else, it's something different for a while.

[ Nods. ] You aren't used to creatures like the Pokemon?

[Action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Not quite, no. And I'm still getting used to being human, too.

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

You... weren't human before?

[Action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Not really. Half-human, if you want to be exact.

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

What other half were you?

[Action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

That's a secret. No one's supposed to know my true identity, and that would give it away.

[Though from the way he was grinning about it, Lancer probably considered keeping his name secret some kind of weird game.]

Don't worry, it was nothing dangerous.

[Depending on who you ask.]

[ Xion's giving you this blank stare, Lancer. She's actually really curious as to what you mean, but since he said it was nothing dangerous... ]

Okay.
