Keith and Romelle are gone.

I've got their starters. And Keith's Skarmory. If anyone has any of their other pokemon I'd appreciate knowing.

Going to Cianwood City. Missed that badge. Sorry to anyone waiting on the Island.

That's all.

[That's. Really all. That's all he knows how to say about the situation. All he thinks to say without dumping more feelings out.]

[So clearly... it's back on the road.]

Don't you worry about people you care about?

[shiro2hero]

I see where you're going with this.

But


Yes. I do.

[forsaintcecilia]

And do you ever feel like that worry is a burden? Or that you wish you didn't?

You're really not that bad, Shiro. I'm not worried about you because I think you're going down the wrong path or anything. I just want you to be happy!

[shiro2hero]

It's

Hard to explain.



Just know I appreciate the effort, and the words. And the fact you're still here.

[forsaintcecilia]

I'm not going anywhere, whether you like it or not.

[shiro2hero]

I never said I didn't like it.

[forsaintcecilia]

I know you like my friendship! And that's good! But there's something you don't like about my concern, and I can't figure it out.

[shiro2hero]

And

I don't know if I can answer that.

I'm sorry

[forsaintcecilia]

You don't have to be sorry. Whenever you find that answer, I'm here to listen.

[shiro2hero]

I'll see if I can.
