Ionys nodded. "Yeah, yeah. I won't." And this seemed genuine, one way or the other. "And if there's anyone who can manage stuff like that and know what to say, it'd be Diyem, huh? He probably knows all about that. So... Yeah. You can at least go back with some peace of mind."

"Aah." Ionys waved dismissively. "I'll do what I can. Guess I'm gonna be Uncle Ionys for Mia now and then. Wonder if I can get my head around her mindset, see if there's a way to nudge her into acting... uh, you know. Normal. Should probably get to that sooner than later before she matures...

"Yeah, I'll do that," Ionys replied. "And don't forget, she's got the King of Darkness keeping her in check, too," he added with a smirk. "How's that for good influences?"

Ionys sighed. "Once Maple starts working on restoring Telum, I'm gonna be stuck there for a while," he said. "No going around that. I'm probably not gonna be very tangible, either. Or... visible. Or... maybe anything, if restoration gets intensive..." There was a ghost of doubt in Ionys' eyes...

Overall with Koa, the Legends seem very receptive to him. Some were apprehensive about his attitude, but the fact that he helped save the world a few times gave him enough credibility to take audience with most of them, at least the ones that were available. Deoxytwo found him to be strange, but...

"Flesh is learning Terrestrial," Ionys replied with a proud grin. "We've been having lessons for a while, y'know. Hey, Flesh! What's some of your favorite things?" Flesh made some growls, trying to adjust his mouth, and then said, in broken Terrestrial, "LIKE... FOOD... I... LIKE... HUGS..."...

"I will," Truffle said weakly. "And I agree, Icetales... But I... I really do need to rest," he said, and this, based on where he was and what Zinc had told them, was true. Maple deflated a little, sighing. Some tension went away. "That's good to hear, then," she said, and then laughed. She...

"You certainly did," Joule said cheerily, his voice back to normal as he set her on the ground. They were still in the arena. "Starr, that was... incredibly reckless," Maple chided, "But... at least we suspected something like that was coming. Didn't we?" She glanced behind her, where Dialga...

"Hmm." Owen nodded, weighing his options. "I could go for something like that. Want to go and set something up before it's time to head home?"

Owen brightened. "I'm ready," he said. "As ready as I'll ever be. Cal's going to be okay. She's worried about all her siblings, just like I'm going around making sure my friends are fine. Guess she took after me after all, huh?"

"We are," Owen said, "but... it wasn't always like that. When we came to an understanding of each other, I think that's when we had our... turning point. I think we both became better through that. Maybe I was projecting a little." He glanced at the bag, but then noticed Rocky standing...

"Oh, are you trying to chase me?" Giovanni asked with a wicked grin. "How cute that you stand a--" And then, briefly, he looked alarmed. He had tried to perform a few cutting words to knock Starr down a few pegs, but for that brief, fleeting moment, his usual flaw returned to...

"That is one way you can look at things," Giovanni said. "I acknowledge that if I were to fight you directly, head on... perhaps that won't be enough." As he spoke, Starr's barriers layered themselves one after the other in front of her, and yet Giovanni didn't look like he intended to strike...

"AHHHH?" Flesh asked, his mouth half-full with the final quarter of the pine tree, which was covered in needles that apparently left Flesh completely unbothered. He let out a few more growls, and Ionys translated for him. "Says he's gonna try to be a peacekeeper," Ionys said. "Probably a place...

"Gah--!" Silver knelt down, wincing. "That's... as far as I can go," he muttered. "Guess I can't really harness the power of a Legend after all... Not as well as you can, at least. Hmph... Guess I still have some training to do." "But I'm far from finished," Giovanni said, having been flung...

"Guess so," Ionys said, rolling his eyes. "Something tells me some of Maple's habits are gonna rub off on me, though. You'll probably hate my guts next time we meet." He smirked. "Might tell you to get your ass into shape if you aren't in some top, 'Living' form, or whatever."

Maple was somewhere between worried and frustrated, like she didn't know how to save someone standing right in front of her. Perhaps that was how Truffle felt when speaking to Ionys, she wondered. "...I'll... I'll try," he said. "I shall seek someone... as you wanted." His eyes were looking at...

Owen nodded, sighing. "Well, if that's the case... you take care of him. He's still you, after all, one way or the other." When the shadow was put back in the bag, Wishkeeper withdrew and became nothing but a dissipating haze. "It's not easy, confronting your shadow. So... I get some of that...

"And more to that," Maple said, "I can't... reach out to spirits that do not have a flame. I--if you were to... I wouldn't have been able to find you." "Then perhaps I would go home," Truffle replied weakly. I..." His eyes seemed to be looking at another plane entirely. Thinking back to what...

"Even against the greatest adversity, you have never stopped," Giovanni said, the undertones of his mocking lost to the crowd, who was eating it up. Giovanni's commanding charisma had Cibus under his spell... Was this how he had ascended to power in the past? "Show them a challenge, Cibus! Lend...
