SEVEN [Video/Action]

[This time when Chili's journal starts recording, he hasn't been dusting off box after box of donuts (send his regards to everyone at the bakery, who probably recognizw by appearance if not by name!) and Pansear is with him again, nestled in his vest with just his head and paws hanging out.

Not forcing a big grin or looking quite as lost now, just calm and a bit remorseful.]


Uh, this is going to be another public apology...

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, how many of these am I gonna have to make? Sorry!

[He rubs the back of his head in embarrassment, then nods:] But, yeah, it's to Ash again... [Now sounding more serious, dropping the playful tone:]

I'm really sorry for putting you through so much, even after all you've been through... it was self-absorbed an' I'm sorry that I let how much I wanted to help you get in the way of better judgement and ended up doing something dangerous. It was stupid.

... but, you did great. Cilan, too. You were both really amazing... you didn't even ask to be included in this mess and you were both really strong. Heroic too, yeah, that's the word for it— not because you chose to be, but because you fought so hard and protected your friends and partners, even when you were hurt, and even though you didn't go into it of your own choice.

[Pansear nods:] Pansear, sear-sear! Pansear, pan-pansear!

I just talked about Sailor Mars the last time, 'cause I needed to pay her back, but the truth is— there were a lot of people who helped me out. Maybe I wouldn't even have moved after I hit the ground if Hector and his partner didn't come into the picture. I definitely wouldn't have lasted without Silver's help and protection. So, I just wanted to let you know you're all my heroes too!

I'm really, really grateful to you all. From the bottom of our hearts, Pansear and me, thank you very much.

[At first, Cilan's a little surprised to be seeing this on the journal, but then after a moment he smiles.]

...My, what a heartwarming taste. I'm very happy to hear you say such a thing, Chili, and I'm just as proud of you, too. After all, you fought very bravely, and your fiery passion and teamwork was a relief to us out there on that dreadful battlefield too.

[But there's...something about Chili's speech, an odd feeling that's sort of digging at the back of his mind, but he's not sure where to place it yet...]

Of course. [Why are you so surprised, as if this is somehow news to you that Cilan holds you in high regard...] Not just in this particular instance, either--I've always been proud to have someone like you as my brother.
cilantro: (shall we allow the tasting to begin?)

video; aww Chili

[Well, Cilan certainly won't say no to a hug from his brother.]

I'm here at the house with Pansage and the other Pokemon at the moment. [Probably reading in his room or something while Pansage and the others were taking a nap or what not.] What about you? Where are you at right now?
cilantro: (my burgundy senses are tingling...)

[Chili...oh, but don't actually slam open or into the doors, you know how much Pansage hates being startled awake when it's taking a nap, right...]

Feel free to let yourself in when you get here.

[And yes, the door to Cilan's room should be unlocked and open. You'll find him sitting in a chair with a book, while Crustle and Stunfisk are asleep in one corner and Pansage is asleep on the bed. Judging by the way he keeps his room, he's been here long enough that there's definitely a few personal effects added to it that indicate it being Cilan's room, but otherwise it's probably a lot plainer than his room back at their house in Striaton. Still, at least he keeps it tidy.]

action; well at least he tried

[The closet is probably where the most personality for this room is, since he stores quite a few of the dumb outfits he's acquired in this place in there, but the door is currently shut. Other than that, there's books of varying subjects and other small things here and there scattered around.

Cilan will set aside his current book--which, on closer inspection, appears to be the journal, before he gets up from the chair and approaches his brother at the door. Cilan seems to be in a decent mood at the moment, and even his injuries from the draft appear to be healing nicely--he certainly appears to be a little better now than he was during the first week they came back from that horrible place.

After a slight pause, he then holds his arms open.]


So, Chili. You were saying that it was hugging time now, right? [...Wow Cilan that totally isn't cheesy as heck to say.]
cilantro: (all of the hugs. ALL OF THEM.)

[personal profile] cilantro 2014-06-20 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
What? [Cilan gives a disapproving frown at the "dweeb" comment.] I'm nothing of the sort.

[But he accepts the hug anyway, hugging Chili back as well. His grip is just a little tighter than Chili's, but not by much, given his own injuries and all.]

...But thank you, Chili, for being there for me too. [And you were, really. They may have briefly fought with one another when Chili first got here, but Cilan has never stopped believing that Chili would have still been someone he could rely on anyway, and sure enough, he was sort of right, even if Chili might not believe in himself quite as much as Cilan believes in him.]
cilantro: (wow I really do look ridiculous)

[Hm. That feeling he had before when speaking to Chili on the journal is starting to come back a little now, but he's not sure why...]

Oh dear, is it really that obvious? [Cilan isn't gonna try to deny that maybe he has been pushing himself a little too hard, especially since coming back from that draft and attempting to just go on with things normally like he did before. Still, he doesn't like worrying people, so he gives an apologetic smile as he rubs his shoulder where Chili mock-punched him.]

I'm sorry, I'll try not to push myself too hard--this is peace time, so I suppose I should be using it to rest more.
cilantro: (all of the hugs. ALL OF THEM.)

Chili, you... [But then he suddenly stops, thinking about the way Chili phrased it.

"For making trouble until the end--"

Suddenly, now he thinks he knows what that feeling was he was sensing earlier--a sense of finality. That somehow, this is going to be the last meaningful conversation he's going to have with his brother here. It's a silly thing to think, but it's the same feeling he got when he last spoke to Iris, and it's one of the few times he hated being right. There's no guarantee that this is the same thing, but Cilan reaches out to grab Chili's shoulder all the same.]


Chili, you don't have to apologize for something like that, okay? I've already forgiven you for what happened when you first arrived here, and since then you've done nothing but try your best to help me and Ash and everyone else here. And...I've had a lot of fun with you here, too. Even if this place is in really bad taste, I'm really glad that I had you here by my side, and that's never going to change.

[Aw, Chili...Cilan can't help but smile at that.]

Yeah. We're brothers, after all, so it's only natural. [Cilan moves a free hand over his heart, some of his usual flair for passion starting to seep back into his voice a little.] Our hearts will always be connected as one--you, me, and Cress. No matter what happens or how far apart we are in physical distance, our hearts will never drift away from one another--it's the taste of a perfect marriage of brothers!

[Cilan, you're silly. Pansage mumbles something sleepily from where it's on the bed, opening one of it's eyes just a little to see what's going on. Upon seeing that Pansear had been nice enough to pull the blanket up, it offers a smile before snuggling a little further under the blanket. Thanks, monkey bro.]
