1, 2, 3; Not only you and Me

Who: Phoenix, Red, and Voile
Where: A very neutral location that is a cafe on the moon run by Clefairy TBD
What: Closure. Apologies. Skepticism. Distrust. On this new episode of Days of Our Academy...
When: At some point in time prior to today because no one actually told me what the date was supposed to be. Oct. 17 - Prior to Red's departure.
Warnings: bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb


It was by Phoenix's good graces that the three of them were gathering. Voile had not done so easily, or without suspicion weighing upon her heart, or whatever she thought was her heart. Yet she had chosen to all the same. To be frank and fair, Phoenix could have asked anything of her and through sheer love - that of a pokémon for her trainer - Voile would have done it. She might have questioned him, but she still would have gone through with it.

And while she didn't question him on this particular instance, she believed he meant what he said, and that there was more to Red than the situation had commanded. But Voile had known that already.

She didn't hate Red. She wasn't even angry with him. She really held no malice toward him at all. She only ever wanted to do what had been asked of her. Because well... Red, regardless or who or what he had been before... Wasn't wrong. He wasn't wrong at all and she'd known it previously. It had simply taken him saying it so directly for her to truly accept it. And since she had... What else was there really to do?

Voile stayed at Phoenix's side, alert, in good standing, and observant. Or thoughtful, though both were the same when it came down to her.

"Do you think he'll actually come?" she found herself asking without looking to her trainer. "It would be hard for me to fault him for not."

Phoenix didn't want Voile to have to meet Red if she didn't want to. He had been frank with the younger trainer, telling him that they'd only meet if all three of them were okay with it. He was soft with Voile, saying it was her choice, but apparently she was fine with it.

What Phoenix wanted desperately to do was to make all of this right. He had failed in protecting Voile from Red - regardless of whether he was possessed by Seth or not. Phoenix knew he couldn't be there 24/7, and he wanted to make sure Voile had her space, but had he given her too much space? She never told him what had transpired, and Phoenix couldn't get mad at her about that. He partially couldn't blame her, didn't want to shame her... So all he could say was just a solemn "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you..."

But Phoenix promised that if anything went wrong this time, he'd be there.

"I don't know," he said, shrugging. "He said he had really wanted to see you in person, although... he's lost his voice."

He had given the letter to Voile before - in fact, it was the first thing he had done after apologizing for not being there to protect her. While Phoenix hadn't read it in Red's presence, he read it alone before handing it to his Gardevoir:

Voile

I'm sorry. But I know it isn't enough.
I hurt you. I was going to hurt you.
I was disgusting.
What I said was wrong. I don't want you to forgive me. I just want you to be okay.
I attacked you because I knew you were important to people I care about. You didn't do anything wrong. Nothing I said that day was right.
You didn't deserve that. Nobody did.
Please don't stop being important to Marie and Sonny because of what happened.

Red


"He might be too afraid to show up, though..."
