Diyem had been quiet while the explosion of shouts pounded at his mind, and once they finally moved on, he bit down on his feelings. He was used to this. Perhaps in some ways he deserved it. He knew that they all knew he was hiding something, but he wasn't about to go off and tell them in front of Maple. It could destroy their chances at the mission.
To clarify, no, I was not intending for you to kill a child. I may not like kids but I don't have any intention of being rid of them. Also, you should know that I knew you wouldn't have the strength to ill anyway. Turf is the daughter of a human. I don't think I know how to properly express how difficult human-Pokemon and their descendants are to kill.
"...Troubles with your coordinator?" Maple said, frowning. "That bodes well."
Owen knew that everyone was prepared to demonize Diyem for what he was doing, but he could never fully relate to it. Diyem was going through too much trouble to be someone they couldn't trust. Perhaps it was because Diyem was often talking to Owen about his problems that he knew more, but that just begged the question, why did Diyem not try to talk to the others? Maybe one day he could ask that...
"Diyem? Are you okay?" Owen called.
Let's just focus on the mission. I apologize for my outburst. It has been a frantic week of searching.
Owen nodded, but then glanced at the others. "Oh, um, Diyem was helping with the search. Anything he found or didn't find I reported to Maple and stuff."
"It certainly helped narrow where we had to check. He happened upon a place he could not see in Aegis Cave, and from there we mobilized. Regarding that..." Maple's eyes swept over the team. "Are we ready to go? If you want to speak with your leader, you may do it after you are dropped off."
