9th book; father's day {video/action for Goldenrod}
//video; warning for mentions of death
{When the feed clicks on, it's not immediately obvious what's happening - indeed, the scene is almost preternaturally still. A little girl with black hair slowly tiptoes across the floor towards an armchair, head cocked to the side curiously. The camera moves to follow her, and in doing so, reveals the occupant of the armchair.}
Hello, Isis. {Nanao looks old, sitting still as a statue - the Fisher King, if you would, ensconced forever on her throne. The little girl - Isis - clambers up onto her lap, burying her head beneath Nanao's chin, and whines unhappily.}
You have not been yourself, mistress. {An unfamiliar voice, wispy and thin floats out of nowhere, at least until Kiyone, her first starter and Alakazam moves forward into the picture.} What ails you?
You have my memories, do you not? {Isis curls and shifts so she too can look at the powerful Psychic - her eyes, only just visible, are the same shade of purple as Nanao's own.} That is correct.
Then I would suggest you peruse them with today's date in mind, Kiyone. {Her voice is tinged with bitterness and pain, and her arms come to hold Isis close to her chest.}
{The Alakazam is quiet for a long time, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, running through a century and a half's worth of days dated June 18.}
....I am sorry that I did not make the connection straight away, mistress. I should have checked myself. {Nanao shakes her head, and moves to stand, startling Isis, who transforms back into a Zorua. Neither the human nor the Alakazam pay this any notice.}
It is not your fault - I am just being exceptionally maudlin over events that have happened a long, long time ago. {She crosses to the window, Zorua cradled close.} By all rights, I should have forgotten....
One does not forget death easily. Especially not one's own. {Kiyone's hand closes over the 'Gear quietly, shutting it off with a flick of his claw.}
//action; Goldenrod
{In the afternoon, one might see Nanao and her considerable amount of Pokemon gracing one of Goldenrod's larger parks - the Pokemon are playing, yes, but they seem to be keeping closer to Nanao than usual. That said, they certainly will allow you to talk to her, if you so choose.}
{OOC: Kiyone is actually speaking English here - yes, he is now able to freak people out without telepathy. Yay? EDIT: PLEASE GO AND READ THIS FAQ, it is very important and deals with talking Pokemon! Kiyone has had over a year of practice to learn how to do this properly.}

Maybe there's something else you can do, like training.
['Or breaking things' is the unspoken addition. HE DOESN'T KNOW but violence always makes him feel better so maybe it would help her...]
[video]
I'm not sure what Toshirou would say to that.
[video]
[He returns her chuckle with a smirk that's similarly half-hearted before he lets it fall, running his hand through his hair. This is much more difficult when they're in different cities.]
[Although...]
Where are you right now?
[video]
{Isis wiggles up, peering at Envy just on the bottom of the screen. Who be you, man.}
Still in Goldenrod, and I'm not doing awfully much.
[video]
Well, why don't you take the train here to Saffron then?
[video]
I... hadn't thought of that. Perhaps a change of scene will do me some good.
[video]
It's still a big city, but it's different enough for a change. The four of us are still here too. [Meaning obviously himself, France, Tulio, and Miguel, because who else does Envy travel with? And hello roundabout way of saying 'I want you to come see me so I can get you to be less sad'.]
