After his encounter the pines, Koa makes time to visit Xernatus. He tries not to stay too long so he doesn't overstay his welcome. Sometimes he makes conversation, but sometimes he just sits there with him. He tries not to bring up Xerneas or what happened much, and instead just tells him random...

"Yeah," Koa said quietly, gazing pensively out at the forest. "There's no rush. Whether you come or stay... just make sure its something you want. Your decision." He sat in silence for a few moments more. Grinning, he said, "If you ever want an easy choice, you can always come grab food with me...

He hadn't quite expected Xernatus to take his suggestion too serious but... perhaps they might be helpful after all... "Who would stop you?" he said wryly. In a more serious tone he continued, "If you wanted to... well I'm sure you can go back. Diyem will be there, and I don't think anyone...

Koa remained quiet through it all, until Xernatus finally seemed ready to speak. For a good minute, he thought about his answer. He didn't want to rush into this response. "Honestly... there's a lot," he said finally. "I mean, you really can do anything..." he snorted and shook his head to...

Koa stared dumbly at Xernatus for a second, caught off guard. He'd never been good when it came to people crying or being sad. Had he caused this? Was he being too much? Should he pat them on the head or something? Pushing himelf to his feet, he walked over to Xernatus slowly, a little stiffly...

One moment, he was fine, and the next everything felt like it exploded. The tree shattered at the trunk, tipping towards him. The ground seemed to tilt under his feet and before he could move, he found himself on his side, the tree about to fall, about to crush him - Red light filled his...

"Because you matter!" Koa countered, his voice rising to a near desperate shout. "Because no one deserves to believe that where they come from is all they can be!" He sucked in a sharp breath. "So what if you're not Xerneas? I don't care! Maybe other people do but I don't! You're Xernatus...

Koa frowned, a look of determination on his face. "I don't care. I'm not going anywhere." He stared right at Xerneas, as if willing them to feel his stubborness. "Whatever you did... that doesn't matter. You don't have to be whatever you think you were made to be. You can choose your legacy."...

"You... you don't have to leave," Koa said slowly. "I mean. Maybe we can find something for you. Something you want to do. Not just Xerneas but something you like." He paused. "Just because you're not Xerneas doesn't mean you're not real." Was it even that simple? Would the citizens of Cibus...

The chill in the air seemed to grow and grow as Xernatus spoke, until Koa felt cold to his very bones. He stared down at his paws for a long moment, his thoughts swirling like the wisps of snow around him. "That... that freakin sucks," he muttered finally. He wasn't sure what else to say, and it...

Koa fidgeted. He had never felt so out of his depth before. So scared. He wanted to help so bad but he didn't want to make things any worse- "Do you want to be Xerneas?" he asked softly. He paused and stared at the ground. "I mean... I don't know a lot about you or what you are. Do you know how...

Koa drew back, almost surprised at their fury. Yet their words felt like some were twisting his throat. He swallowed stiffly and sat down. "I'm not going anywhere," he said firmly. It's what he would have wanted someone to do for him. "You're not just a parasite... even if you did do something...

Koa stared back, slightly unnerved. Why did he care? Did he just wanted information? He'd thought that at first but now, seeing them, he felt... something else. Pity? Sadness? Some sort of empathy maybe... It had to hurt, to be lost and confused, to have done something that you felt terrible...

Koa flinched to the side as the beam tore by him. Ahead, in the gloom, he could just make out the shape of Xernatus, coiled around the tree in a rather horrific manner. There was anger in their tone but it wasn't just mad, they were upset. Sad. "I don't want to mock you." Koa paused a few...

Koa nearly jumped out of his skin at the attack, the beam missing his nose by mere centimeters. He flinched back and whirled to face the direction of the beam. He prowled closer, now on alert. He wasn't sure if Xernatus was upset or angry or what was going on. Were they corrupted again? Maybe...

Koa picked his way through the pine trees, a faint chill nipping at his fur. After some searching, and a little bit of sniffing around, he'd finally managed to figure out that the... well, he didn't want to call it a thing, exactly. Xernatus seemed nicer (and cooler). Xernatus was out here...

Koa nodded and hurried towards the door. it had been nice to just. Talk with his roomate for a minute and try not to think about... everything else. A part of him desperately wanted to go with Dave. To see the other Soda and... What? Save him? Convince him? Stop him? Pushing down the...

Koa pawed at the chair cushion as he thought. Dave had a point of course. If he was there, Soda might not even show up. But he wanted to. Needed to. This was all happening because of him, he couldn't sit back and do nothing. Still. Maybe it would be better to let Dave handle it. "Yeah I...

Koa chuckled at the comment, then fell quiet for a moment. For all his skepticism, Dave was still here though, and Team Spectrum was making a difference. His words about saving the world also reminded Koa of something. His thoughts flashed back to the tree. Facing down that creature, Diyem...

For a second, the strangest sensation washed over Koa. It was as if every thought in his head simultaneously evaporated, leaving him hollow. His mind buzzed, despite feeling empty. Then he mentally shook himself and quickly recovered. He blinked, then grinned a little. "You're old," he said...
