20th Lullaby ♫ - Private to Kira || Text

[the_whitequeen]

Kira,

I cannot seem to find Athrun anywhere. Did he leave any word to you? I am worried. This isn't the first time he left without telling anyone, but what worries me is that his gear can't be reached at all.

Lacus

I tried contacting him as well just now, because two of his Pokémon came to me for some reason, but couldn't reach him.

I'll be there soon, let's talk about this when I'm there.

Alright.

[ When Kira arrives, he will find Lacus with a swablu in her arms. There was also a Porygon by her feet ... Athrun's porygon. ]

[Kira has a Dratini on his arms and a Scizor following him - the Pokémon he talked about over the text.]

You received some of his Pokémon as well.

[It was more of a statement, rather than a question.]

action

[thewhite_symphony]

Yes.

[ Her voice didn't even shake. She then turned to the Porygon. This Pokemon was programmed to speak. ]

Tell Kira ... what you just told me ...

[ The Porygon nodded and complied. ]

My master --- Athrun Zala. He is has disappeared from this world.

[The look on Kira's face had been serious, now accompanied with sadness. People had left this world, but none of them had been people Kira knew well and with Athrun being here for a long time, he had thought things would remain like that. Of course it wasn't like that.]

So he went home. Thank you, for telling us this.

[ When Shinn left, of course it had been sad for Lacus as well. He had been like a younger brother to her. Always getting himself injured. She always felt he needed someone to take care of him.

But Athrun was a close friend and had been a helpful guide to her while she was in this world. First it was a sniffle, but then ... Lacus began to cry.

She ran to Kira and embraced him. She didn't like it when other see her cry, but she felt safe to do so with Kira. ]

[replantsflowers]

[Kira had just set down the Dratini from his arms before embracing Lacus and holding her close. Of course he had tears in his eyes as well, but he tried to remain at least a little strong. He did lose his best friend, but Athrun probably wouldn't have wanted them to be like this.]

He might come back someday... but at least he'll be home, now.

action

[thewhite_symphony]

Maybe ...

[ She tries to smile, but it definitely looked forced. She wanted to believe that and there was hope that it could happen. ]

... but you're right. For some time, I believe that he had been feeling very lonely here. Maybe it was time for him to return home.

action

[replantsflowers]

That might be it.

I wouldn't be too worried about him. If we were, what would he say if he actually does come back? We need to continue doing our best while he's away.

action

[thewhite_symphony]

[ She finally smiles again. Because he was right of course. Athrun would scold them for worrying too much about him when he had always taken care of himself well without either of them holding his hand. ]

... and you are right of course.

[ Places head on his shoulder. ]

At least ... I still have you. And nothing brings me more happiness than having you with me again.

action

[replantsflowers]

[He'll move a hand to pet her hair.]

I'm not going anywhere. This world... might decide otherwise, but as long as I can be the charge of what happens, I won't leave your side.
