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.]

[His response comes not from the Pokégear, but from the vicinity of her door frame. He's slightly teary-eyed himself.]

He might come back, someday. Like Aerith and Trucy and Squall and Zidane and Cloud.

[No need to say that Trucy disappeared again, or that the others remember nothing of Johto.]

[Rydia looks up from her gear and wipes some tears from her eyes.]

Y-You really think so...? [Osmose waddles over the door to open it for Cecil. Rydia gestures for Cecil to come in.] D-Do you want to come in?

[action]

[paladinlost]

[He obviously does, patting Osmose's head gently before going to sit near Rydia.]

I've seen many people leave and return. It means running to Cherrygrove to find them, but I doubt any of us would mind doing so for Edward.

I-I wouldn't... if he shows up again. D-Do you think he... would? [She looks up to Cecil expectantly. Osmose comes over and plops down next to her.]

If it means seeing your smile again, he'll definitely fight to return as quickly as possible.

[From the hallway, a few heads pop up, clearly alarmed by everyone's distress.]

... Okay. I trust you, Cecil. [Rydia closes her eyes and pulls Osmose tight. She's wishing Edward a good time, back in their world, and hopes he's doing okay.]

He might even bring Yang along, next time.

[Rydia's shins are now being hugged by a Lunatone and a Ralts.]

Is Yang.. alright? After the ship wreck? [she hopes so. Rydia rubs the lunatone and ralts.]

[action]

[paladinlost]

He suffered from amnesia for a few days, but otherwise he was perfectly healthy. He managed to obtain the key we needed to sneak into the castle.

... I'm happy. Everything works out good?

[action]

[paladinlost]

Of course it does. We'd never let the bad guys win, would we?

[action]

[used-vinewhip.livejournal.com]

Of course not! The good guys always win!

[action]

[paladinlost]

Therefore, we'll always win against those who would conquer our world.
