[Cecil can seen, standing in the middle of a Pokémart. A Pokémart that is not Violet's. He's supposed to be in Violet. Why isn't he in Violet?]

Mahogany has what is quite possibly the worst selection of souvenirs I've even seen, and that includes the one time when Palom wanted me to choose between a pig and a toad who turned out to be his classmates.

[Why is he in Mahogany? Well, obviously for the badge. How did he even get there? You'd be surprised by the flying speed of a Dragonite. When did he get there? ...Really, really surprised.]

Rosa, Rydia, Kain. Would you rather receive a candy bar, a postcard, or a pair of Magikarp-shaped earrings? Or a fishing rod. They seem to love their fishing rods.

[He starts looking around with little interest in his eyes.]

I'd offer to bring back dinner instead, but by the time I return to Violet it'll certainly be cold. Please don't wait for me if I take too long.

They were both changed back by the Elder, and have supposedly been very careful with their words ever since. Luckily, too, now that he's learned spells such as Flare and Meteor.

Luckily, unless they want to be fried to a crisp.

His sister's ability to heal is a blessing, truly.

His sister's a healer? Talk about opposites...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Those two are complete opposites, in fact, except in their talent.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

You sure about that? Even their talents seem quite opposite to me.

[video]

[paladinlost]

The nature of their talents, yes. But not their talent itself.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Oh? Both of them are really good then?

[video]

[paladinlost]

They had more talent at five than most do at fifty.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

They're that good?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Better. They survived battles and journeys that would have killed even talented soldiers, with the help of their powers.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

... How old were they when that happened?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Five.

--- That young and they've been to battle?

[video]

[paladinlost]

They mostly fought monsters; only rarely did they fight trained soldiers.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

But still-- did they kill anyone or anything during then?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Nothing that was still human.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[...] What do you mean?

[video]

[paladinlost]

They mostly had to kill monsters, but one... one of them had once been human.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

... How did they feel about that?

[video]

[paladinlost]

They did not seem particularly affected, but that could be because we were about to battle something much worse.

[video]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's because they were kids. Kids don't take those situations to heart as much as adults do.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Yet they understood the gravity of it enough to be willing to sacrifice themselves to save everyone else.
