Rosa, Rydia. Edward is...

Edward is...

[He cannot finish that sentence, but those last few words are rather obvious.]

...Why can Johto not give without taking, for once?

[And that is all Cecil has to say.]

One of your friends, Cecil?

[video]

[paladinlost]

...From home, yes. He was the first of them to arrive, two and a half months ago.

What happened?

[Rydia doesn't need him to finish the sentence. She knows by his tone what's happened... a few tears stream down her face.]

C-Cecil.. I-I..

[He's starting to walk, now. Is she around the inn?]

Have you seen any of his Pokémon? They stay nearby, sometimes.

[She's in her room at the moment. Slowly, she begins to cry more and more.]

N-No, I haven't left my r-room t-today, and... C-Cecil!! [and now the waterworks begin.]

...Hello, Miss Kisa.

[Please do call him out on that very pitiful fake smile.]

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... You don't have to smile when you're not happy.

[ ... about as direct as Kisa will get. ]

...I don't think it knows how to do that yet, Cecil.

[video]

[paladinlost]

It should, after all the time it's had to practice.

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I suppose one can only hope it'll learn.

...Was he friend or family?

[ video ]

[gentleblossom.livejournal.com]

[ ...Yeah, she can tell what you're going to say. ]

So he is..... [ She'll just let that thought trail off. ]

I'm sorry, Cecil.

[ video ]

[paladinlost]

Damcyan will need him, soon enough. He'll rebuild her beautifully.

[He hesitates for a few moments.]

...Where are you?

[ video ]

[gentleblossom.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll do a fine job. I hope to see it, someday.

[ She's worried about how you're taking it, though. ]

I am in my room. Would you....like company?

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Cecil? [That doesn't sound too good.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Hello. Are you settling in well enough?

[Video]

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry...

[Video]

[paladinlost]

He'll be happier at home, where he'll be able to help his country.

[video]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

Aw, man... I'm sorry, Cecil.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I should have known seeing three of our friends return without ill effects was too good to be true.

People are leaving...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Without warnings, and without goodbyes... It takes some time to get used to it.

[Video]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I am sorry to hear it.

[paladinlost]

He'll certainly be happier at home, but I still wish...
