( video ) ✦ 004.

[the video starts off and shows the trainer here looking a little pale, the black dragon finally at his side but looking more tensed than usual. ]

I don't even remember ever losing my bracelet, which means it must have been..

[after he died.. oh, right, the bracelet]

So death is not only inevitable here but also not the end? The Gods must really value our lives then. Considering the camping trip- I wouldn't have thought so before.

[after removing his hat he ruffles his hair a bit which only makes him look more exhausted]

Anything new happen? To those that went along the camping.. what happened after?

[he looks like he wants to say more but.. he apparently decides against it.]

[touya's own shifts into both sadness and relief, he isn't exactly going through the anger she is- though that could be because she didn't disappear right after their return without a single word

of course he hasn't gathered that yet

his chest tightens, his heart almost feels like it's stopping (the feeling alone a frightening memory of their deaths before) and all he can do is quickly move around and wrap his arms around her tightly.

you can punch, slap, hit him all you want now hilda; meanwhile touya is just going to hold on to the feeling of her in his arms, breathing, warm and his shoulders will begin to quake with overwhelming tears]

[ she had time to think about how their meeting up again would go. and just as when he confessed to her, in true Hilda fashion, she had what sounded good in her head - a nice sucker punch for disappearing right after all of that, and then a big hug as they make up.

but as we've learned, real life almost never follows what Hilda thinks is the best plan of action in her head. when the time actually comes, the factors that she overlooked and couldn't premeditate; emotions, instincts, and whatever else has bottled up in the downtime... they all seem to drive it off course. in this case, it was the looming posibility that Touya might have been gone for good.

so there's no sucker punching or struggle on her part. instead, she shuts her eyes tight to try and stop the inevitable tears beading in her eyes from dropping and sinks into his hold. she can hear his heartbeat, and it's the most beautiful sound in the world to her right now. ]

You're horrible, you know that? Just... the worst.

[ and yet as she says those words in a cracking voice, she only hugs him tighter. ]

I know. I have no right to apologize, but I really am sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen.

[for them to die. for them to think it would end. for them to come back, and yet for him to disappear without another word. it made him look really bad- maybe he was afraid, or nervous of confrontation, or trying to seek answers..

but it was none of that. sure he wanted answers, but he still wouldn't leave without a word if it was in his control. yet he can explain why that is so..

instead, he tightens his hold. only for a moment before leaning back a little to take her face in his hands, thumb brushing away tears.]

I won't blame you if you hit me.

[he manages to quirk, showing a smile. because despite the sadness and moment of loss, she deserves to be happy. so why not a little joking?]

[ his second comment gets a smile from her. through her tears, the happiness is starting to take over. ] I won't hit you, promise. Just... don't do that again any time soon, okay?

[ seeing his eyes full of life again, having him so close... it's reassuring. everything will be okay. ]

[his posture easily relaxes at the sight of her smile, enough to get that heart of his fluttering. it's gonna take a while to get use to that feeling- if he ever does.] I won't, I promise. This time I'll always be somewhere you can reach me.

[he squeezes his hold on her briefly in reassurance. for a split moment he considers kissing her forehead, or her cheek, something to calm her down but that gets his heart only beating faster since

right, they're.. technically together now, huh? and now they have all the time to be together.]

[ we've already established that Hilda acts on impulse a lot, and with him being so close and holding her like this... her heart is fluttering as well, and she's more than ready to do something about it.

so she'll bridge the distance between them again, but this time it's much softer than before. there's no worry about impending death -- she can enjoy this now. ]

[his emotions run wild briefly, too many happening at once that he subconsciously angles his head and helps bridge it. this feels like a first kiss. though it's soft, perfect and the adoration he feels towards her just more obvious to him more than ever.

in this time of moment? honestly, nothing else really matters. nothing but them, but her. they're both okay. they're both here, alive, okay, and together.

it surprises him how close they've gotten, though really they got along well with each other, but now it's come to this and he is fuzzy about the details suddenly and he really doesn't care. only that he cares a lot about her. and this.. this is worth fighting to protect. he pulls back after a moment, to smile and really look at her. his hands still cradling her face with a thumb brushing over her cheek fondly.]

[ that... wow. oh wow. and here she thought just kissing him was nice -- turns out that when he kisses back, things get a lot better. she's hoping in the back of her mind that she hasn't screwed up somehow, but it's a quiet worry. even if she did, it feels as if Touya wouldn't care. she can be herself around him, and it's awesome.

when he pulls away, she can't help a blush when he looks at her. it's embarrassing, but she doesn't regret anything. ]

Good to have you back.

Good to see you safe.

[it's almost quiet, just barely audible enough for only her to hear. like she was the only person in this whole big gods' land. and right now? it's basically how he felt. a blissful moment where everything was focused on her alone. until he remembers everything, of course.

but right now he was just glad to have her here. to have her safe and sound. not burned and dying in the forest floors. it pains him just remembering, almost causing his smile to falter but her being here was a reminder that she was fine now and eases the tension away again.]

[ she sighs, her smile softening as she touches her forehead to his. she doesn't like to think about it either, but the horrible feeling is the only thing she needs to remember that they were in this together... and that she never wants to go through something like that with him again. ]

I've got a lot of stuff to bring you up to speed on. We'll focus on that, okay?

[he nods at her words, gesturing for them to sit rather than stand about in the middle of the room. he's not ready to let go so soon but there shouldn't be anything to worry about now.]

Alright, what about?

[ she does as he gestures. standing is getting a little tiring, and they can still stay close that way. ]

It's all good stuff! A whole bunch of trainers showed up here not too long ago -- all from different regions! They're around our age, too.

[he sits down, looking more curious now once she's said it.] Really? Do you know how many there are of us now?

Let's see... there's me, you, Dawn... [ she's counting on her fingers now, mumbling the names. ]

Eleven, I think!

[WHAT]

Seriously? I know there's me, you, N, Dawn, Red and Jasmine.. [he never got that one guy's name--] The one with the Arcanine, hmm.. Oh I met Lucas before you arrived here. Oh right and there's Ash.

[..is that all he knows then. WHO ARE THE OTHER ~~THREE~~ TWO??]

Yeah! And then there's Ethan and a girl from Hoenn. I didn't get a chance to talk to her, but I think I saw her with an Altaria.

An Altaria, huh? [he caught one not to long ago back in Unova. so he knows it's not a legendary.]

Guess it's a matter of time till I run into them. What kind of Pokemon does Ethan have?

He has his starter with him - a Typhlosion! She's really gentle, but looks strong.

If I remember right, he's a trainer from Johto.

So not a legendary then. [at least the legendary combo seems to have stopped as of recent.]

We seem to be getting a lot of trainers from other regions.

[ nods. ] Looks like it's only a few of us who have them now... but maybe that's for the best. There's only so much room in the city for big Pokemon like them!

Isn't it great? All of these trainers went on journeys just like us, but their stories are totally different. Plus, they have Pokemon we've never even seen before!

True, don't know how we can all handle having legendary everywhere. I doubt Zekrom will feel easy about it, for one. [he's amused really.]

I agree. There's just so much for us to learn.. All these legends and legendary for one, Arceus is well known, but something like Lugia, Giratina.. It's really amazing. [it's.. nice to know this many trainers and consider one another friends.]
