    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary
    Threadmarks: R12 – Echoes of Friendship (Koa & Echo)

    In the darkness of the infirmary, Koa lay, drifting in and out of sleep, never quite awake, not quite properly asleep. His injuries had healed and he was set to go home tomorrow, but he could relax. The battle at the Worldcore kept flashing through his mind, and his training with Brisa. What...

    "Of course!" Koa replied, hardly hesitating. "I mean, I think we would be. Although... Pokemon from my world aren't like you, not exactly. They love to battle and they don't really live in castle's like that or anything. And we can't speak their language." He took a moment to muse. "Its weird...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    It felt nice, to actually have a real discussion about something they both liked. Though he also was a little unused to it. He'd spent so long focused on his goal that he'd almost forgotten what it felt like to think about why. Koa took a long moment to think. He wanted to give Icetales a good...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa smiled at hearing Icetales speak. Not only was the subject change a relief, but he was happy that at least Icetales seemed to have perked up, speaking about his mother. "Your mother sounds like a wonderful person," he murmured. "I'm not sure," he said, chuckling awkwardly. Not many people...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa's chest tightened at Icetales' question, and he felt slightly nauseous, though he kept his face neutral with practiced ease. It was the one thing he could do since he was used to keeping up a calm mask at that sort of question. He offered a shrug, keeping his gaze carefully even. Part of...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa listened intently to Icetales story. He wasn't used to someone opening up to him, although then again he rarely asked people anything personal. Mostly to avoid anyone asking him anything. His heart twisted as Icetales continued to speak. To have to leave everything behind, to be forced to...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa perked up. If anyone might understand how to control one's shadows, Icetales would understand. He was about to nod and agree, then he hesitated slightly. What if his training session ended up like his one with Brisa? "I... I'd like that," he said slowly, offering a smile to the regal...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa nodded emphatically in agreement as Icetales described teamwork. It wasn't far from the things he'd tried to teach his own pokemon. Everyone supported and looked out for each other. Koa shrugged, keeping his expression neutral. It felt harder and harder lately to brush things off like he...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa was briefly caught off guard by the gesture and froze, at a loss for words. Warmth spread through him at the compliments. His eyes shone with delight, even if he remained mostly aloof. "I - you-" he stopped and caught himself. "Thank you," he said quietly. Perhaps Icetales did have a point...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    What on earth does panacea mean? He wondered to himself. Icetales was so strange, yet he kind of like it too. it was fun, talking to him. At the compliment, Koa's eyes sparkled with delight. His attacks had been far from perfect, yet Icetales had been impressed. Koa's smile faltered, but...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa hated hospitals. They only served to remind him in some way of his failures. Of how he'd found a way to screw up again. It had been some days since his disastrous fight in the Worldcore, which had left him... well, he couldn't even walk out of there. His body still ached. although more than...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa watched them work, his mind running over the Mews words. Letters? Swimming? Why did that sound familia- Unown. His eyes widened. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask more, then stopped. Sword was already asleep. And wasn't the team worried about a spy? Maybe best not to say too much...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa lay on one of the many beds in the infirmary, his gaze distant and his thoughts scattered. That battle had been... He shook his head to himself. He didn't want to dwell on everything. Instead, he focused on the Mew they had rescued. Sword was her name, apparently. He watched the monitors...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa withheld another grimace. He couldn't fathom what it must have been like to lose a friend. There was nothing he could do... This Bahamut was right. Might as well try to take a look around, get acclimated. Not like there was much else he could do. Maybe he could even meet what was left of...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Koa stared in open mouthed surprise at Bahamut for several seconds. Eternatus, Giovanni, and the team he was supposed to help was dead? Stuck inside that Charmander somehow. And somehow he'd arrived late too. It was mind-boggling. Especially hearing the name Giovanni. He was never great at...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    For a moment, Koa sat in silence, absorbing all the new information, as well as staring at the bright dragon-like figure before him. It all added up, from his hazy memories of the other place. He'd signed up for this, asked for this. Under the assumption he'd be safe should anything happen...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Strange dreamless darkness was all Koa knew, followed quite suddenly by a strange crushing sensation followed by feeling like his stomach turned inside out. Next thing he was aware of he was lying somewhere. He opened his eyes, then blinked, taking in his surroundings. White walls, a pleasant...
