Profile & Rules.

Independent | Selective | Canon-Divergent      Hop from PKMN SWSH

A figure steps slowly from the shadows, footsteps labored, slow. A thick, purple liquid drips from the person’s face and onto the ground below as they step into the light, staring at the one she once called friend.

Fear.

Pure and primal fear courses through his veins at the figure of the woman that stood before him, disheveled and broken with remnants of the very monster that tore her away from him encasing her body like an exoskeleton.  He felt sick, eyes unable to turn from that icy gaze.

No.  No, he watched her die.  As much as it hurt to remember, she died.  There was no way, this had to be a nightmare.

“I said bugger off with this--whatever it is, I’m not having it!”

“...”

Uhhh he’s gonna dodge the question!

Was he smug enough to pass for a Zoroark?  Maybe, but the bill fit his brother much more.  He gently bats away the petting hand of the younger,

Leon turned to address his brother with the brightest of smi-

“Uh.”

How elegantly put. As much as Hop threatens to have his growth spurt any day now, it certainly wouldn’t happen over the course of three days since the last time he saw him. His brows knitted together as- well, the Hop in front of him certainly looked like his brother, sounded like him too, but simply wasn’t him.

“I could ask you the same thing. Where did you find your inches?”

“Hm?  Bro, I told you I was gonna be as tall as you eventually.”

He could feel the confusion seeping out from the elder, but tries to be playful with it.  In truth he had heard about the ‘other leon’ in plenty of phone calls with his own.  His brother was quite fond of the other, and on his way back...Hop wanted to tease a little.
