You and your pokemon?

text

[envy_the_sinners]

[No, Lust, him and all the friends he doesn't have.

...

He's not going to say that.]

Yes. We travel alone.

[Which he wouldn't have even mentioned if he weren't so bloody jealous of you and Happy Team Homunculi having fabulous adventures. He's better off alone, anyway... Grumblegrumble.]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't think I could stand traveling alone.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

It is more practical. And as you have made obvious, I do not do much.

[Nobody wants to share his boring life. Oh wait]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't know how practical it is. What if something happened on the road?

Maybe you'd do more, if you weren't alone.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

I have traveled by myself for the better part of ten years. Things only "happen" when there are others around.

[Ehem.]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

This place is different.

Don't you ever get lonely?

text

[envy_the_sinners]

I have my pokemon. That alone is already more than I am used to.

[Yes. But it's such a constant feeling that he doesn't even know how to recognize it anymore.]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

You're made of stronger stuff than I am. I need someone to talk to.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

You have people here, it would hardly make sense to not travel with them.

[Even if you betrayed them...? How does that work?]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

But it isn't out of obligation, it's because I want to. I don't do it because it 'makes sense'.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

Does the reason for the choice truly matter?

text

[a_sin_for_him]

Only the fact that it IS a choice.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

I told you, I do better when I am on my own. You have seen how I am in a large group.

text

[a_sin_for_him]

I meant my choice. But it's as valid when applied to you.

I've seen you with my people.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

Yes, and your people seem more interested in passively taunting me than anything else.

[At least Envy, anyway.]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

That's just their way.

Our way.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

Somehow, that explains a lot.

text

[a_sin_for_him]

It's not out of cruelness.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

Right. Then what do YOU call it?

text

[a_sin_for_him]

What we know.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

Then it is no wonder that you struggle with connecting to humans. Try a little sincerity.

[...He means that in the least assholish way possible, he swears.]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

I didn't ask for a psychoanalysis, I was just explaining that it's not personal.

I know perfectly well what's wrong with me.

text

[envy_the_sinners]

I wasn't speaking about you.

At least while you aren't around the others.

text

[a_sin_for_him]

It's like children on the schoolyard, that's all.
