Did a tag on Twitter where I ask followers to tell me a feature that they identify me with and I draw myself as a Tales character based on all the features! Also added a Mystic Arte Cut-In cause why not
Bonus:
Drew some fake Mystic Arte Cut-Ins for my friends who also participated in the tag!
Lillie wiped at her eyes as she sat on the bench beside the publicphone in the hospital, and took a deep, shaking breath. She sniffled, and hopedthe congestion from her crying wouldnât be easily audible in her voice. Shewasnât trying to hide anything from Gladion, not really, butâ
Well, she had chosen to use a phone without video for a reason.
He picked up on the fourth ringâa little slow, for him, but stillfaster than she knew he would have answered for anyone elseâand before shecould say anything he said, âLillie? Is everything okay?â
Despite how she felt, she smiled. âYes, everythingâs all right,â shesaid, even though it wasnât, even though it wasbecause she was supposâwas strong now, and so things like what had justhappened shouldnât bother her anymore. âUmâhow are things back home?â
âFine,â Gladion said, and she knew that he would say that regardless ofhow things actually were, because he always said that. Lillie had a feelingthat he could have been in the middle of a hostile battle with Faba over thefuture of the Alola region when he answered, and that even as he gestured forNulâSilvally to take out Fabaâshypno, he still would have acted like nothing out of the ordinary washappening. (Then again, given the type of person Faba was, Lillie supposed thata hostile takeover wouldnât have beenout of the ordinary.) âWhatâs wrong? You sound upset.â
Lillieâs reflexively squeezed the receiver, and despite how off-guardGladionâs accusation had caught her, she frowned. âI do not.â
âYeah, you do,â Gladion said.
âNo, I donât,â Lillie insisted, âbecause Iâm not.â
âYouâre a shitty liar, Lils,â Gladion said, and Lillie was caught by aconflicting rush of offense at Gladionâs profanity, and warmth for the nicknamehe had used for her ever since childhood. âI can tell youâve been cryingâwhatâswrong? Did she do something?â
Lillie opened her mouth to answer, yet no sound came out. It wassillyâstupid, evenâto be so upset over such little comments, and she knewshe shouldnât be. She was strong now. She was so strong, and she was going tobe a trainer, and she was going to prove that she was worthy of Nebby. She didnâthave to call her brother for every little thing. That wasnât what strongtrainers did. And she was strong, shewas, she had grown a lot and shecouldâshe could handle thisâ
âLils?â Gladion pressed.
âIânothing,â Lillie said, and she swallowed and cleared her throat totry and work past the squeak in that one word. âItâsâitâs nothing, but âŠâ
ââmaybâhuh?â Lillie almost dropped the phone, but caught it againat the last second. A passing nurse gave her an odd look. âTomorrow? That soon?â
âOr however the time zone bullshit works, yeah,â Gladion said. âIâllcatch the next flight out.â
âBut what about things back home? Arenât youâwerenât you put incharge of Aether Paradise?â
âLike I give a fuâshit,â Gladion said, and Lillie appreciated that hehad at least tried to censor himself, though she wasnât sure how much good itdid for him to substitute profanity for different profanity. âWicke can dealwith it. She shouldâve been dealing with it in the first place, butâwhatever.I donât care. Iâll be there tomorrow. You gonna be okay until then?â
âYeah. Yes. Iâm okay now, but⊠thank you, Gladie.â Lillie twirled her finger in the cord of the phone,and closed her eyes as she cradled the receiver a little closer. âIâm reallyhappy youâre coming here. Iâm staying at the Sand Dollar Suites in CeruleanCity, okay? I donât know where the nearest airport is, soââ
âLooks like Saffron City,â Gladion said, and she heard him typing andthen a mouse clicking from the other end of the line. âBut it looks like Iâllbe able to get to Cerulean within the day, so itâs not a big deal.â
âBe careful,â Lillie said. âIâve heard Saffron City can be dangerous,especially with the underground paths near there. Apparentlyââ
âWhatever the fuckâs dangerous in Saffron Cityâs gonna be real sorry ifthey try any shit with me or Silvally tomorrow,â Gladion said flatly. âIâmgonna see you tomorrow, my time, and thatâs that. Weâll meet at that hotel ofyours, okay? Sand Dollar Suites, right?â
âRight,â Lillie said. âWhat time is your flight getting in? I donâthave a phone yet, so âŠâ
They exchanged flight times and worked out the time zone difference,and once it was established that they would meet up at six p.m. in the lobby ofLillieâs hotel, Lillie hung up the phone. The moment she did, she felt an icyslip of shame slide down her back.
Odds were that, by the time Gladion arrived tomorrow, she would beperfectly fine. She didnât need himto come to Kanto, and calling him over something so smallâmaking him thinkthat there was an emergency, that there was dangerâwas wrong of her,especially since she was so much stronger now than she was back then. But itwas done, nowâhe was definitely, for sure comingâand she knew there wasnothing in the world that she could do to stop him. Even if she called himright back and told him that it was fine, he didnât need to come visit, hewouldnât believe her. Worse still, he might think there was someone forcing herto say that. So she had called him, and he was on his way, and that was that.She would see him tomorrow. And for all that knowing that she would see herbrother tomorrow made her feel better, it also made her feel a little worse.
Even so, she forced herself to smile, to at least look upbeat even if she didnât feel it. She would see him tomorrow,and that was that, and if nothing else they would at least both get a hug outof it. That was something to look forward to.

As promised, Gladion arrived at the Sand Dollar Suites lobby a littleafter six p.m. And despite thinking that she wouldnât need to see him, that it was wrong of her to call him, Lillie allbut ran to him the second she saw him walk through the door, and threw her armsaround his neck.
Lillie shook her head, her lips pressed tightly together, and althoughit was much harder to lie with him looking right at her like that, she tried anyway.âThere isnât anything wrong. I just âŠâ Her lower lip trembled, and shesniffed as she felt tears stinging at her eyes. âI just really need to have youhere right now.â
âIâIâIâm s-sorry,â she blubbered, and she wiped at her eyes, eventhough there was no point in trying to hide her tears now. âI just, Iâsh-sheâsright, I canât do it, I canâtââ
âWhoâs right, and about what?â Gladion demanded.
âM-Mother,â Lillie said, and though Gladionâs demand had made it clearhe had a good idea who Lillie had been talking about even before she said theword, the moment she did, his face twisted into a scowl.
âYou need to stay here with me,â her mother had said. âI need you. Youknow I canât get by without you.â
âI know, and Iâm not leaving,â Lillie had said. âNot yet, not until youârebetterââ
âBut youâre already talking about leaving. You talk about it every day.You canât wait to leave.â Her mother had settled back on her pillows, and hadlooked up at the ceiling. âJust like your father, and your brother. Both ofthem left me, too, after all I did for them. And now youâre the same way. Iâlldie without you, but youâll leave me anyway.â
âNo, I wonât!â Lillie had insisted. âI wonât, Mother, andâand Gladiondidnât either, not really. He left, but it was only temporary. Heâs at homenowââ
âThoughtless and simple. You always have been my simple girl.â Hermother had reached out and gently tapped her lips, something she had done eversince Lillie was a baby, and Lillie had ducked her head.
She had ducked her head and held back her tears then, but now was adifferent story. She furiously scrubbed at her eyes as she sputtered, âAnd sheâsâsheâsright, Gladie, sheâs right, I didnât e-even think, and IâI canât do it, I canâtââ
âNo,â Gladion said flatly. âFuck that and fuck her. You can and youwill.â
âGladion!â Lillie hissed. âWatch your language, please, weâre in public and sheâs our motheââ
Lillie took a deep breath and closed her eyes. âPlease stop calling hera ⊠a bitch. Sheâs our mother,Gladion.â
âAnd sheâs the fucking worst, Lillie,âhe shot back. âLook at you, youâre a wreck because sheâs been a fuckingââ
âGladionââ
ââbecause sheâs been horrible whenall youâve been trying to do is be good to her. And for what, huh? What has shedone to deserve it? What has she ever done to deserve either of us trying to do anythingfor her?â Gladion tapped his foot rapidly against the ground, and Lilliecould feel him trembling, enough to shake the sofa they sat on. âI used tothink that it was just because Dad left, and then I thought that maybe it wasbecause of the neurotoxins, but here she is stillbeing like this even after weââ He shook his head, sharply as if todislodge a fly, and then said, âNo. No. Not anymore. Iâve had it. Iâm fuckingdone.â
The right thing to do, Lillie thought, would have been to say no. Theywere a family, they were supposed to stick together. They were supposed tostand by (and up to, when needed) their mother no matter what. Their mother hadno way to treat them the way she did, and Lillie knew that, and she had toldher as much in Ultra Space; but even if she did, running away wasnât really theright answer. Proving their mother right by leaving wasnât the right answer.
But where her mother told her that she couldnât become a trainer,Gladion told her that she would. Where her mother had hushed and scolded herfor starting to cry in the hospital room (âWhat if someone sees? Wipe yourtears,â her mother had snapped), Gladion had hugged and comforted her. Whereher mother had just tapped her lips time and again, Gladion was holding herhand, his grip secure and warm.
She shouldnât leave. She shouldnât abandon her mother, like her motherhad said that she would. But standing in the hotel lobby, with her twin brotherholding her hand and his partner Silvally standing behind him, Lillie nodded.
âOkay,â she said, and Gladion smiled. His smile was fierce and bright;it blazed like the sun above the Alola archipelago, and Lillie felt true warmthfor the first time since setting foot in Kanto.
âOkay,â he said. âThen letâs go get your stuff.â
