The roamer... has a birthday?

[roamin_emotion]

[It's been some time since the pink-haired Lake Guardian has been outside. She's recovered rather nicely, thanks to a lot of rest and sweet recuperation. Those red gems are still slowly regenerating, now about halfway complete. Even after everything that had happened, Mesprit has cheered up and healed nicely.]

Ah, there we go... Perfect!

WERE YOU EXPECTING THIS, MADAM

[dome_ace]

[Just like he has been doing every morning, Tucker has come to Mesprit's house to check on her and Alto... And he's very relieved to see that Mesprit is doing great, good enough to be spending some time outside, with a giant berry cake, clearly intended to celebrate something and- wait.]

Good morning, my love... Ah... Today is a special day, isn't it? ♥

MAYBE~

[roamin_emotion]

[Well, that's something Mesprit's gotten used to seeing every morning. Have a smile and a happy chirp from these two, Tucker!]

It is! I just realized I've been on the island for a year! I made a cake in honor of it! Would you like to have a slice?

[dome_ace]

[He wraps his arms around her, hugging her firmly.]

That's wonderful, my love! And I'm infinitely relieved to see you've gotten better today, too! You're healing up so fast, my princess. Do you think we'll be able to take walks together in a few days?

[roamin_emotion]

[His hugs never get old~]

Everything you and Alto did really seemed to help! Thank you so much! I hope I'll be up for a walk soon! I really do miss roaming around the island like I usually do.

Or perhaps this?

[seadrift_angel]

[It's been even longer since Phione has wandered about on land. It might be just pure chance that she managed to make it to where Mesprit was.]

Mesprit of the Lakes! Might that be you?

<3

[roamin_emotion]

[That's a familiar voice she hasn't heard in a while!]

Hi, Phione! Yes, it's me!

[She may look a little different with those gems still growing back, but it's the same Mesprit you remember.]

[seadrift_angel]

So it must be!

[Phione just hops on over, landing with a twirl and a bow. It's only standard, after all.]

Ages have passed since our last meeting. Surely much has happened between now and then!

[roamin_emotion]

[It is always good to see her first friend on the island once again! Mesprit smiles.]

It has been a while! I've been through... a lot lately. Both good things... and some bad ones too.

[She goes silent for a moment, lowering her head. It's enough to show the broken gem on her forehead, slowly returning back to its full form.]

[acuity_of_mind]

[Uxie's been healing a lot more slowly than Mesprit-- her gems aren't anywhere near halfway at the moment. But she's been gaining enough stamina to shift locations every so often, and she's been meaning to search for her siblings, too. So, here she is.]

... Mesprit.

[roamin_emotion]

Ah! U-Uxie!

[She's going to head towards the older sibling, sudden tears began to form in her eyes. Mesprit knows that she's felt the same pain...]

I was so worried about you!

[acuity_of_mind]

[Uxie approaches her younger sister as well, in a decidedly more stoic manner.]

I am alive now.

... you and Azelf were safe.

[roamin_emotion]

Alive now? What...?

[What had happened to Uxie to make her say that? She gasps, realizing what she might have meant... Her eyes close, the tears still falling past her eyelids. Of course, she can't get herself to say that word.]

Did you... No, it couldn't have...

[sweetdreammoon]

Ah? [Cresselia is curious now.]

Another version of Mesprit...? [She walks over.] Celebrating something special?

[roamin_emotion]

[She nods happily. She does sense something abut this new person though - it's similar to what she feels from other Pokemon that have human formes, so she must be a Pokemon too!]

Yes! I've been here for a year! I made a cake to celebrate! Would you like some?

[ihearsamenoises]

[Sneeze. Azelf doesn't feel well-must mean something. Too bad he's not paying attention in particular. There goes a slice of that cake; it's seeping from the sole of his shoe.]

The heck?!

[roamin_emotion]

[Oh noes, squished cake. It gets a gasp out of the sprite.]

Ah! My cake!

[There's green frosting on his shoe, so it's definitely bitter cake. Not that she cares for it, of course, but still... it's stepped-on cake.]

[ihearsamenoises]

Not my fault. You should've put it somewhere safer.

[He lifts his foot up, glancing at it.]

What a waste of food.

[roamin_emotion]

But... you walked into it. It's not my fault at all.

[She's not going to argue about it, especially when she feels something familiar about this strange guy. Still, the sight of green bitter cake makes her shrug her shoulders.]

Well, I'm not really one that likes bitter food anyway... but someone would have eaten it, I'm sure.
