    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa's ears burned a little at Starr's words. Why'd she have to do that? Treating this like no big deal, even though it meant something to Brisa. "W-well, great! I'm glad t'hear it!" She huffed the embarrassment away and reminded herself that this was good, that Starr had agreed to it, that...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    No! No, that wasn't– "Y'ain't botherin' me!" she shot back. "Y'got the wrong idea, partner!" Brisa tugged on Starr's paw, tried to meet her eye. "I wanna fight you as a friend," she said. "Battlin' is how I understand folks, how I get t'feel close to 'em. You're the most fantastic goddamn...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    "I know– hey, I know that," stammered Brisa. Her tail thrashed with the urge to defend herself, but her friend wasn't putting her down, she was smiling at her and telling her she cared, in her own odd way. Starr wasn't placing expectations on her, but relieving her of them. Wind and weather...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    It was turning out to be one hell of a fucking day. Brisa had returned home last night to find a stranger in her dorm—albeit one Luz had texted her to expect—and woken late with a mild hangover. (Not half as bad as poor Kate's hangover, mind.) Then she'd spend half the day sorting out the...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    "Apparently he might remember changin' his mind, accordin' to Buffet..." Wait. 'Always gotta be the one to fix things'? "Hold up a second. Whaddaya mean by that, partner? I– I'm just one gal, I can't fix everythin'. I dunno what yer talkin' about." Brisa blinked in confusion and went to her...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa looked up with a quiet chuckle. "I thought of askin' you to come, but I couldn't stand the thought of him diggin' around in yer head. Dave's a dark type, so I thought he'd be clear, but he actually let Jesse do it. Out of, I dunno, stubbornness or somethin'." She tutted, shook her head...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    She blew out a breath in a voiceless whistle. Jesse and Dave. How to talk about that? "As fer my pa... I guess I asked Dave to come, and he said yes, and Buffet said that was fine. I thought... I thought he'd have my back. Give Jesse shit if he tried browbeatin' me. In the end, he couldn't wait...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa let Starr grip her paw as long as she wanted; there was nothing that could make Brisa snatch her paw back now. She smiled drily. "I just wanna say... as much as everythin' feels like it's goin' to shit sometimes, and how tired I am, and how fuckin' bad I feel about Sword... when I look at...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa shook her head. "Nah. We've been fightin' pokémon as powerful as that body he's in, but we ain't been fightin' him. And we ain't ever fought him at full strength, neither. Just think about that, willya? Every time we've faced Giovanni, we've been taken by surprise while already exhausted...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa knocked back the rest of her drink and signalled the bartender for the same again. Now... What was this really about? "Okay. So, what, you're frustrated 'cause you've wanted to dust that bastard since before he even turned up, but you ain't been pullin' the weight y'think you oughta be?"...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    "I reckon I follow yer meanin'." Brisa hid her dry smirk of disagreement behind her drink. This wasn't the first time Starr had insisted she was no hero, and doubtless it wouldn't be the last, but Brisa had seen the way Starr looked out for her teammates, the way she burned herself up with the...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa tapped a claw thoughtfully on the table as she took another sip. She knew by now that even when everything Starr said sounded wrong, there was sense there somehow. Starr didn't make decisions in the interest of self preservation. So when she said 'it was safest'... "You're still...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa remembered. It was hard to forget. But Brisa knew Starr wasn't a monster, no matter how much the torracat seemed to believe it. "Sounds like you chose to protect yer friends even though you'd be cast out fer it if you were found out," said Brisa, carefully. "And they believed in you...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa weathered the sharp response. She couldn't exactly blame Starr for being terse; her memories must be truly painful. "There's no way that prick let you walk out on him just like that," she replied, after a moment's consideration. "Not with the way he treats other livin' beings as his...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa gave a little chuckle of her own. "Yeah, imagine it. You 'n' me, dustin' that smug bastard together." It sounded like a real thrill. There was almost nothing she wanted more, in fact. She held Starr's gaze evenly. Her friend was putting a kind of trust in her she only hoped she deserved...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Holy shit. Brisa grimaced. "Wait, you're tellin' me that motherfucker is yer own goddamn pa? No kiddin'. Ah, fuckin' salt and sand and spit, I can't even begin to imagine how I'd feel in yer position... Gods, what with him havin' that kinda power 'n' all." Wind and weather. She imagined Jesse...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    "I thought it weren't the same shit, exactly? Not the same as from yer own world, I mean. That sonofabitch didn't seem to recognise you, right?" Brisa shook her mane to clear her head. This wasn't the heart of the issue, now, was it? "Even so, if it's weighin' on ya... You have a friendly ear...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa nodded, and flicked her tail in thought. "That's more'n fair. I can't say as most folks, even in this world, wouldn't blink twice at the like of what you told me." 'Most folks'. Not Brisa. ...But, if the two of them hadn't been stuck together in that pit, if Brisa hadn't been tearing...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa frowned, sipped at her drink. She was smart enough to know what Starr meant by that. "Anyone judgin' you fer yours? They oughtn’t to. I might not know exactly what yer history is, but I do know that even though it's dark, it ain't simple neither."

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa nodded, anxiety sloughing off her as the whiskey took to work and Starr complained about something comfortably unfamiliar. So long as Starr wasn't mad at her, Brisa found that the way she had of just streaming her frustration was easy to get caught up in. It was strangely... freeing...
