Why, Lapis?

[relevantribbons.livejournal.com]

I couldn't let them do it again!

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

Lapis, they're vicious. I'm not underestimating your strength, but they don't fight fair.

[relevantribbons.livejournal.com]

I know! That's why I had to.

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

Not alone.

[relevantribbons.livejournal.com]

... if I beat at least one... then someone else has a better chance of reaching the top and beating Archie and Maxie... that's what I thought.

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

But what about you?

[relevantribbons.livejournal.com]

[...]

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't do these things alone...

I just... couldn't let it happen again.

... You're from Hoenn, I know... but you see how Gold and I came together? I can't let him go out there alone ever again--or most people I care about for that matter. I was scared even now... but with him I felt that much more safe.

[relevantribbons.livejournal.com]

[snif] How did you...

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

What?

[relevantribbons.livejournal.com]

Nothing... just... [dizzy] you said "again".

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

It was a really long time ago. I stayed back, he went alone and he got gravely injured.

Oh...

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[Coming to rest one hand on Amati's shoulder and one on Lapis's head] I'm fine now... you guys want some tea?

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

[fffffffuu]

[relevantribbons.livejournal.com]

[nod] Yes please.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

'kay. [And he gets up again to go get it]

[silveramati.livejournal.com]

[uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.]

[That's right. That much of a 'fuu'.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[And he's back with three cups] Cheers.
[Lani's taking one and blowing on it]
