@ViridiansLegacy …then we can make up for lost time!
and,
you don’t have to avoid me.
…(trying to understand, at least.)
i wanted to find you, lance. i’m sorry i didn’t come sooner.
@ViridiansLegacy to viridian, i mean.
if… if you wanted to see me, then…
i just wish you did.
(huff.)
…but!
(she puffs herself up. that’s right— what is she so worried about!)
i’m here now, so no more making excuses. i have no agenda, so i can stay in johto a while! /
@ViridiansLegacy you *are* wrong!
(huffing. she doesn’t even know where to begin.)
why would you hide away for such a cruel reason! i… i should have come sooner!
i should have…
…(how embarrassing. she was wrong. this guy hardly changed!)
@ViridiansLegacy (she looks away. her face scrunches in displeasure.
she misjudged him.)
…so selfish.
if you didn’t want to come back to viridian, that’s fine. if you didn’t want to see me either, i understand…
but if it was because you didn’t want to face yourself, i…! /
@ViridiansLegacy i assumed you’d,
(a pause, her grip slacking on his cape.)
you’d come find me first, if you wanted to meet again. you knew where you could find me…
…was i wrong?
(a little hopefully.)
if i was, then i’m not leaving.
not now! and you aren’t either.
i want to understand.
@ViridiansLegacy it doesn’t make it *right.* you didn’t have to do anything like that. all those people and pokemon you hurt, too…
(—her heart aches. it cracks through her like lightning, a yearning that she can’t make sense of in the moment. her brow knits.)
did you… not want me to? /
