[ Right, the tournament. Now so far away, but--he wasn't thinking about that. Didn't want to think about that. ]
Forget about the tournament! [ Neither should Lucas. Red tips his head, eyes closing to take in breeze against his face before he's smiling back at the other boy. ] Let's think about the things we like! Long roads, new places... new faces! Being with friends.
Think up something that makes you happy, then share it with me!
[No point dwelling on what's happening over there. Why not just take a moment to reflect on the things that made them truly happy?]
The flowers, the trees, the animals... walking through the woods with... with my family. Mom's cooking. Playing with Claus and the Dragos...
[Bittersweet memories but he tries to hold onto the positive side of it. Huh, were those yellow petals suddenly falling from the sky? But there weren't any trees around here. Evidently, those emotions were causing a reaction.]
[ He's seen it before--black feathers appearing with no birds in sight, or without the birds doing anything more than swiping them when they appeared. Some brush against the pokémon, Lapras's nose getting tickled before she opens her mouth and chomps on a few, Red raising a hand to touch one as it falls, the joy in them evident. ]
Great! And Boney's there too, right? [ A little suddenly said perhaps, but he's grinning back to Lucas, still even when his eyes close, bringing his memories from his mind and heart-- ]
Being with the people you love and care for, walking through forests after the rain... and smelling freshly baked pies and cakes!
[ A chuckle hits behind his mouth, and there's a sweet smell like strawberries, a warmth like just cooled Victorian Sponge. But a hand hand then goes to his chest, curling into a fist with the memory of the tower, of the mother and its children-- he clings tight, not letting any negativity come through. ]
And remembering never to give up when times get dark...No matter how tough it seems.
[ The amulet on his wrist colours with a golden glow briefly there, before fading away. ]
