ERASE &&. REWIND

⸻examine meme !! ( @exspiravited )

she is always a delightful sight, even here at this distance because you want to watch her marvel at the ancient figures of long inactive golurk . distantly, you wonder if she can commune with them— she is a ghost, same as them ... perhaps they still have voices ? you have so worked hard to keep them polished, well intact despite the weathering of the elements . at least the ones here in the tower have it better than those lost in the wilds, succumbing to overgrowth &. erosion .

> call out to her, voice reverberating in the open hall > quietly approach, all but sneaking up on her > approach at a range, speaking only when you are in sight

you have learned— one too many times the excitement of seeing her has drawn your voice into the air, otherwise breaking the quiet . she looks at you so violently when that happens, brilliant crimson eyes so alike your own narrowed unto slits . you have seen her fingers curl, a pale mockery of the wicked claws true forme holds— she could tear you apart with a flick of her wrist, unshielded by obsidian scales as you are here . she looks like she might, in those moments .

you wonder, distantly ... what made her react so ? you are struck, in those moments, with a desire to lash out at whatever did it . ( oh, little wyrm, paltry time dwarfed by the monumental life antimatter incarnate has lived ... if only you knew how powerless you were, truly )

Bede would likely be delighted learning giratina to may inevitably have glowing marks as he did to! unlike her bede mostly lacked any hint of being a pokemon in his human appearance though he did have a few, Two rings and lines under his eyes that if he so desired them would glow when he used his powers.

"It helps, There isn't any other lugia besides me, at least not here so much of what i know now is self-taught so i like the reassurance. "

A smile plays across his own face, It was hard to imagine a time it may not have come as easily though he hoped one day, they'd think the same of giratina. Where her smile came freely

"That sounds perfect, It'll give us time to have dinner first before we go though admittedly it's really not that far of a walk. "

She could be brave, he would not have faulted her if she'd opted not to talk of any of her family though he stands from his kneeled position so he can sit beside her and after a moment pull her gently into his lap, Patient as he let her sort through her thoughts, gaze softening. Oh what he wouldn't give to let her have her siblings here, Part of him did fear for their safety though he also knew that the behavior that made giratina flinch so easily could just as easily be kept from the other two. How easy it was for even a god to play favorites

She was rigid in Bede's lap, before the young goddess finally relaxed a little bit. Fortunately, her instincts were steadily begin to recognize both Bede, and the island, as safe. There would always be her moments of anxiety and fear still, but she found herself slightly more at ease and less frazzled than previously. In fact, part of her was excited to go out later in the evening. It was always enjoyable to go out into the island with her father, after all.

"A- A place for them...? Would- Would that be... okay?" Giratina pressed her fingers together. "If... it's okay, th-then... I would like that." It felt touching that Bede was willing to let her have a place on the island dedicated to them both. Already, she was thinking of all sorts of things to put there—things her brothers liked, and things that reminded her of them.

Soon, Giratina would lightly shake her head. "O-oh... they're- they're not like me at all." Giratina wished she was like them. "They're... better th-than I am... Fath- Arceus still isn't... good to them. Even if he... likes them m-more than me... but they can- can use their powers, and... they don't... destroy and ruin things. I-I always wish I could be- be like th-them." The idea of Arceus bringing harm to them in her absence truly made her heart feel like it had iced over. She had been able to intervene on their behalf before Arceus was able to harm them too badly, most of the time. Now? She had no idea what could be happening in the old palace she used to call home.

"D-Dialga is very kind... they're kind of... shy, l-like me, a little... but for- for the times where I wasn't t-talking, they would... s-speak for me. They always knew how- how I was feeling. And... what I wanted to- to say. And Palkia... he's—he's kind too, b-but... he can't see well. M-Me and Dialga always h-helped him get around the- the palace... A-Arceus didn't... try to help him, he- he always says he created P-Palkia 'perfectly', b-but—he really- he can't s-see without it being..." she trails off, regathering her thoughts, "we... m-me and Dia... probably just look like colorful blobs t-to him. Everything d-does, it... always made me s-so... sad."

Bede has a few failsafe's in place in case arceus shows up, Some he's told Giratina about and some he hasn't because he doesn't want her to worry for him, A few being that bede can lock down his island with the same runes powered by the ocarina, Her bird aunts being able to sweep her away and raise her in his stead as the three are significantly stronger then he is, Discussions with the shamouti tribe to allow her to grow up amongst their population with the elders knowing of her legendary status and worst case scenario? Bede WILL fight arceus with his primal form. It's significantly stronger...but due to his unstable genetics, It would also kill him so he's put in place a plan that if they were all to fall, The shaymin of his world would take Giratina to his pantheon's home world. He'd like to avoid this if possible as they aren't his favorite people but...he's hopeful they'd care for her in a way they wouldn't him or would at least guarantee her a safe place away from her Arceus who'd have to contend with a more even match. Stratus

He loves taking her to go and do human things! he knows he needs to take it slow but he wants to introduce her to BOTH sides of his heritage so in time he hopes they can travel the world together, He already has plans to start migrating to hoenn or another warm region when winter comes to shamouti because he knows unlike him. Giratina will get cold besides he also knows the more friends and allies giratina makes, The better off she'll be.

He's pondered finding a griseous orb for her, He doesn't know how he'd go about getting one or if she actually needs one but he worries she won't feel complete without the artifact tied to her species

Once he's sure she's staying, Bede adds an extension to the little log cabin he has on his island that he'd built for himself so she can have her own room that she can decorate as she pleases, Drawings, knick knacks even though i imagine it takes a bit for her to actually start using it because most nights early on, she ends up in bede's room due to night terrors.
