@UnovanV_Star [Luminia stared at them for a long moment, looking a bit dazed and red in the face still, then gave them the warmest smile they'd ever seen from her.]
π:"... Goodnight, Nike..."
@UnovanV_Star π:"...!"
[Despite being shocked, Luminia looked truly amazed... She slowly closed her eyes as she reciprocated Nike's sudden display of affection. She wasn't just surprised... She was overjoyed.]
@UnovanV_Star π:"It is identical to the one I gave Millie. A way to ward off bad dreams and bring you comfort, even when I cannot be there... I hope you will keep it close to you... Just as I will keep you close to me."
@UnovanV_Star [Cresselia smiled as she held onto Victini with great care, then nodded.]
π:"Thank you dear... Now.
What I want you to do... Is hold onto it."
@UnovanV_Star [Cresselia paused, before letting out an exhausted sigh and holding them closer to her.]
π:"Perhaps it was some kind of spirit, or apparition. Or you may be tired... For now. I think you should rest, really. I'm very worried about you."
@UnovanV_Star [Luminia froze and tilted her head slightly, clearly concerned to see Nike in such a panic.]
π:"... Hm? What do you mean Nike?"
[She turned her head around, anticipating whatever may be there...]
@UnovanV_Star π:"I found out why shortly after you left.
She'd misplaced the Lunar Wing I gave to her. I know she has been tired lately, but... It is not like her to be so careless."
@UnovanV_Star [Luminia took a shakey breath to try and calm herself, before holding Nike closer to her, even closer than before.]
π:"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Please don't leave me... I won't hide anything from you ever again."
@UnovanV_Star [Luminia tenses up.]
π:"That's all, I-I swear to you!
I would never betray your trust, I'm sorry...
D-Don't give up on me, please! I-I can do better, I'll try harder, I won't make anymore mistakes!
Please, please... Don't lose faith in me..."
[She's on the verge of tears.]
@UnovanV_Star π:"... You don't trust me anymore.
I get it. I never was the best at being... More upfront with others.
But I swear to you. That is the extent of what I haven't told you, from this point onwards, I have NOTHING left to hide."
@UnovanV_Star π:"...
There were many things I wanted to tell you. Those should have been the first. I am... Sorry. I have no excuse.
The latter, was... Something I was hoping to share once you'd grown more comfortable. I-I didn't want...
You to immediately live in fear. I just got you back."
@UnovanV_Star [Cresselia stares at Victini, before letting out a defeated sigh...]
π:"... Nike. If something is wrong, you can tell me.
I know I was... Harsh, earlier but... Understand how the situation looked from my point of view, even with the context you gave me."
@UnovanV_Star π:"I will hear... None of that. You needed help, and I... Was happy to do it. The wound itself should be fully healed... But you should still try to be still for a while... Rest."
