[Clover is seated on a bench not far from the gym of Violet City. She isn't as happy and excited as she was during her last transmission, when her Roselia evolved and all. While she looks a little proud, she looks proud in a...sad way, as if her victory had cost her something. Beside her is her ever-loyal Roselia, and a Skitty is sharing the girl's lap with a Pichu.

She reaches into her left jacket pocket and pulls out a Zephyr Badge (which is mod-approved, by the waaaay~).]


I beat Falkner a few days ago. [One would think she should be celebrating since she has only been talking about this for ages, but...no. Clover manages only the faintest of smiles. Heck, he even pestered her about her Fearow, but that's a story she'll save for another day. Maybe when she's more cheerful.]

...

Snake really trained his Skitty well. She helped us win...so in a way, he kinda helped all of us win. [She nods, and closes her eyes briefly as if thinking of something...or possibly holding back tears? The Pichu touches her free hand, as if trying to reassure her, while the Roselia will gaze at his trainer and reach for her shoulder.] 

Anyway, for those who still don't know, my brother's gone. I know he'll be okay, but I wish there was some way for me to see how he's doing, at least. 

And...now that I got the badge, I'll be leaving Violet soon. That's all.

[She pockets her badge, and that's all there is. There isn't any more.]

[ Mm, he lets her settle, scritching idly. And he'll sit next to Clover. ]

... It happens. [ Disappearing. ]

[She knows. Well, she had talked to him when Franziska disappeared. The Skitty will now make herself comfortable...but don't worry, no claws in clothes or anything.]

I know.

[ He looks at her. ]

... I'm not going to say it'll get easier. I've been here long enough to be used to it now, but it's always going to hurt when somebody you know disappears. That comes with a whole other set of complicated emotions.

... I'm sorry he's gone.

... [She sighs.]

I know that too.

It's just that...nah, you wouldn't wanna hear it. I'm just bringing you down. You're supposed to be having fun.

I came to see you. Besides, I said I'd listen if you were going to talk; I don't mind.

...Okay.

[Clover pretty much whispers the next few words, as if someone else would overhear.]

This isn't the first time my brother disappeared. The last time he did...he was really gone...

[She bites back a sob. This event was still fresh...it had happened only hours before she came to Johto, after all.]

[ --! That sets off quite a few alarms in his mind, and Miles immediately reaches over to put a hand on her shoulder. Sorry, Skitty!Clover, if he startles you. ]

[Skitty!Clover glances up abruptly, but doesn't move. She understands, anyway.]

It happened not too long before I arrived in Johto. We even thought he was dead...

[Her voice trails off.]

We were wrong, of course, but still...I couldn't imagine living with that knowledge for the rest of my life, or even for a few hours.

miniworth: (Do you really think so?)
From: [personal profile] miniworth
... Is it the knowledge of a crime?

From: [identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com
[She shakes her head vigorously.]

A lot of crimes were committed then, but...I was talking about the knowledge of my brother's supposed death.

I was on the verge of breaking apart.

[ He frowns... putting his hand on her shoulder. ] I'm sorry.

...

I now know why my brother disappeared then, and I understand why the people behind everything did what they did, but it's still something I'd rather not remember.

[The Pichu stirs, and is lulled back to sleep by Clover stroking his back.]

It's a long story. You know, many things can happen in just nine hours.

Yeah, I know. [ A lot happened in just five, for him. ]

[Ah, but did they involve several kidnappings, a few killings and death threats? AND PUZZLES?]

I even thought I was next.

[ They involved someone trying to kill his dad in the last bit. 8Db ]

... Are those hours over for you?

[COULD BE WORSE, YOU COULD HAVE A BOMB INSIDE YOU AND BE MADE TO PLAY A GAME ON A SINKING SHIP. YEAH.]

Mmm-hmm. We did what they wanted us to do, so at least it's all over.

[SUCH IS CLOVER'S WONDERFUL LIFE. AND SHE JUST CAME FROM IT.

She'll just nod slowly.]


Yeah, but...it's not something I'll forget.

...

And honestly, it's not something I usually talk about with others.

miniworth: (Ken! strolling along)

Mm... [ He doesn't say much, doesn't show interest in knowing further. Everyone reserves a right to privacy. ]

...

Maybe someday I'll tell you the whole story, since we're in an entirely different world and all. Just...not right now.

[She shrugs.]

You don't have to.

[ He shrugs back.

Efforts to make close friends... he's reluctant to make them. ]

[But Clover isn't. She really isn't, especially now that the closest person to her is gone.]

Talking to people is one way to lighten the load, but that's just what I think.

I'll listen, if it helps you. I just don't think it would help me.
