[Thanks to her big-brother Palkia and that quirky Swablu of hers, it seems that Mesprit is safe from harm's way. However, she still looks to be in bad shape. She's been knocked out of consciousness and is barely breathing; not to mention she's still got bruises and scrapes all over from that battle. At least she's at home just outside of the CMA,

But she's not.]

Swaaa~! Swa-bluuuu~!
[He's pointing at her with his wings, thinking that you're here to help. His chirping is rather panicked - Alto's only a Swablu, and he's got no idea how to heal her.]

Now she's basically just sleeping. Maybe there's a slight noise and some body movement as she sleeps, but she's got no clue that she's only at half-strength... Yet, she's not in real danger of being near death anymore (if you could call it that).
...Heh, you know you just wanna wake her up, right?]

He's been watching her, some of the general unease at the situation fading as her breathing returns to a more normal pattern; morbid curiosity, however, at the exact cause of this spurs him on, causing him to reach out, his hand alighting on her shoulder. His touch is sure, but gentle; when he shakes her in an attempt to rouse her from sleep, the motion is repeated and incessant rather than simply jarring.]

...mmm--huh...? [She blinks again; her vision's still a bit blurry, but it's beginning to focus slowly. There's something blue nearby, she can see that much... Alto? Perhaps it is.] Wha...what happened...? I... I feel so weak...
[At least she's awake now. Be glad at the moment that she doesn't exactly sense you clearly, else she'd probably freak out.]

Swaaaa~! Mama~!
[This will get cute for a while, as Alto is being quite affectionate. Maybe a few tears too, but he's just so relieved.]

What happened...? I intend to ask you the same question, regarding the state I found you in.
I saw fit to give you a Revive. I am not here to secure your capture at this time...displays of panic are both unnecessary and possibly detrimental to your condition. I would suggest remaining still.
[Of course, given whom he's speaking to, Cyrus expects this advice to go over like a sack of bricks - emotions do tend to make an unholy mess of things, after all, and considering whom Mesprit is...
And then there's also the part where he has no bedside manner whatsoever - his tone is blunt and clinical, offering no amount of comfort or sympathy whatsoever; while he's far from threatening her, it's still probably not the most pleasant in the world to awaken to. But as far as he's concerned, that can't be helped.]

[Wait a minute...someone else is here. Mesprit should be able to recognize that voice... but she's just woozy for the moment as she answers, pausing as things slowly come back to her.]
...all I remember was looking for Alto... but I met that Pikachu... there was something about Earthbound Gods.... and then the Thunderbolt... Alto came back to protect me... [She pauses, feeling touched once again as she carefully turns her attention to the cottonbird in her arms. Her smile is a silent "Thank You" at best.] Everything else went black after that... [And then she looks at the source of the voice, her vision's finally better.] Oh, a Revive? T-than--

Aah... I-It's...i-i-it's you!
[Commencing a freak-out right now, kthx. When this is the guy that wants to catch you, who wouldn't go crazy, right? She's just keeping her Swablu baby close to her at the moment, hoping that he's got no ideas of getting her now.]

He's unsurprised, as he would have been a special kind of stupid to not have seen this coming; he continues to watch her, his eyes cold, though he does step back a bit to increase the distance between them before he replies.
His hand twitches slightly as he does so; it was odd to have touched her, even for that brief while when he had awakened her, and he runs the fingers of his other hand across it as he clasps them together behind his back. The action had gone against instinct - one simply doesn't touch the Being of Emotion, at least not bare-handed. This was a fact he had known for as long as he had been able to read up on the mythology and theology of Sinnoh; at the same time, she had told him some time ago about the lack of the curse's effect when she was in this particular form - not to mention that he still fails to consider the consequences of touching her to be a true curse at all.]Allow yourself to be rational for a moment...assuming such a thing is possible ( ... )

Wait...she was unconscious? Well, that explains the blackout... and probably why she still feels a little achy. The last time she felt like that was when Mesprit separated her soul from her body for a few days. Things sure did feel a lot different in a human forme, that was for sure.]
...well, you do make a good point. [Mesprit sighed. Personally, she couldn't believe that she was about to say this to him.] Still, I suppose I... I should thank you at least. I can tell that Alto was very worried about me... and I really do appreciate your help.

...I have my own reasons for assisting. Regardless...your gratitude has been acknowledged.

...Hmm, maybe you still have some compassion in you... [Yes, she knew how weird that sounded when talking about someone like Cyrus, but someone would have to have even a tiny bit of compassion in their hearts to help them, right? Maybe that's why she said it quietly.]
