[THIS ENTRY IS BACKDATED TO AROUND 7 AM MONDAY (01/09) MORNING because I was working on the picture that goes with this entry all day. Basically
( Read more... )
[ Heartbroken. Much too heartbroken. She wanted so much to see her friend that taught her about cosplay. Lacus won't say anything more because if she was heartbroken, how much more ... Wally? ]
[The happiness in his voice sounds a tiny bit genuine. He's at least acting like nothing's wrong. Because there isn't anything wrong. He's okay. He's Wally West, Kid Flash, of course he's okay. And he is happy to hear from Lacus.]
Sorry we haven't spoken a whole lot recently. Things got... pretty hectic on my end.
[What was he doing a month ago... Oh, working on the bike and not really paying attention to the Gear. Also the mun wasn't paying attention to the flist so I missed Lacus' last few posts orz. So, yeah, he's feeling kind of terrible now.]
Oh, man, you texted me and everything. I was just so preoccupied with the bike and work I never noticed... And now Robin's in a coma so we probably won't be able to see each other for a while. I mean, I can't leave him...
I know you've had a lot on your mind lately and that you were occupied. There is no need to be sorry.
[ She could see that he did look a little guilty. There was really no need to be guilty. With the recent events with Midori --- she just didn't want to feel worse than he already was feeling.
But I really do want to make it up to you. I don't know how yet, but I'll think of something. I mean, I wouldn't be much of a speedster if I weren't always thinking on my feet. [Sadly, the joke doesn't even make him laugh. There really is something wrong.]
[ She knows a little about Connor. She didn't know they were friends. At least, she is relieved to hear than he still had someone by his side and will not go through this alone. ]
...Wally? You are strong, okay?
[ Her way of telling him that he will be alright. ]
[Wally has to push through wanting to cry again at the last comment, has to force himself to smile, just a crack. With everything that's happened, he hardly believes he's "strong" right now. He feels weak and powerless to do anything about it. But Lacus believes in him, and that's a start.]
[ Did someone say that --- Midori was gone? That can't be. She was --- ]
Mi ... Midori? But ...
[ They haven't even had the chance to see each other again ... Midori was her first friend in Johto. Now, like many others ... ]

N-no, I understand. You seemed ... like you had something to do from your last call ...

But how have things been on your end?
[He's trying to steer the conversation away from him and his problems because pretending they're not there is obviously the best way to solve them.]

[ She can relate in a way ... she doesn't talk about Kira that often at all. It hurt too much. ]
I am fine, I am getting ready to leave for Violet soon. I don't think I can put off getting my first badge for much longer.
Reply
Your first badge, huh? I'll be rooting for you in spirit.
But you'll let me know when you get to Goldenrod, right? Midori may not be here anymore, but I'd still love to see you.
[See, he's okay. He can talk about Midori and not want to cry. Well. He's trying his hardest anyway.]

Ara ... I am in Goldenrod. I have been for a month I believe ... that is why I cannot put off going back to Violet for much longer.
Midori is still with us ... though not physically. I will never forget her. She will stay in my memories.

[Running a hand through his hair.]
Geez, I'm really sorry, Lacus.

It was also partly her fault too. ]
But ... if you like? You can make it up to me.

I definitely will. I promise.
[The smile fades.]
As soon as we both have time...

She couldn't help Wally right now, but maybe his friends could. ]
You really don't have to do anything for me ... I just don't think you should be alone right now.
[ Lacus won't be either since she is planning to see Saki and just give her a random hug. ]
That is all.

Don't worry, Conner's on his way.
[Not that he asked him to come, but there's no helping it now.]

As long as someone still believes so.
