005 ♰ video/action for Violet City (she's slowly becoming Lion with Cherrygrove.)

[fathersbeloved]

[The inn room is poorly lit, probably just whatever light from the outside that could get through the curtains. Darjeeling the Houndoom can be seen lying at the bed's feet, just beside the owner of the pokegear.

Beatrice looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in some days, even when she woke up 5 days ago. Her eyes are puffy, but there is no evidence of crying. She does look rather upset.]

Good night... I... just wanted to tell everyone I am awake... and that I am fine.

[She pauses, struggling with something inside...finaly, she frowns, and looks away for a moment.]

I wish to ask to you, all of you who might know the answer... could you please tell me, what is a son? How... how does having a son feel? Please...


[The feed cuts abruptly.]

Did it look like a...what'd they call it...'cicada' or something like that?

[fathersbeloved]

Yes! It was a big mansion, big enough to play hide and seek with Genji and Kumasawa! Though it was always Kumasawa who took a long to find me... Genji didn't usually play, but when he did, he could find me in seconds!

And yes... Beatrice and I share the same name, though we are not the same person. Since you knew my name, I believe you met her first...

[eagledheart]

[This Beatrice sounded like a happy, innocent child for the most part... She couldn't be the rumored mistress of Kinzo who'd given him the gold, then. Her daughter, perhaps?]

So you knew Genji and Kumasawa, but didn't meet any of Kinzo's relatives until coming here?

And yes, I knew the Golden Witch Beatrice from even before I arrived here in Johto. Is there a reson you share her name?

I'd like some ice-cream... Is the parlour still open?

[shiromadoushi]

I'm sure it is. [[a warm smile. He'll offer her his hand before starting to head for it]] Have you managed to taste every flavor they have yet?

[ video ]

[fathersbeloved]

It... sounds fun. [Finally, she lets out a small smile.] So, a mother do fun things with her child? Is that it?

[fathersbeloved]

[Deep sigh, looks down again.] I see... Maybe if I ask someone who is a mother, would that work?

[fathersbeloved]

[That stole a quiet laugh.]

I'm sure he was pretty small. And warm, am I wrong? I'm sure you could just hold him for hours...

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Probably.

Sorry I can't help more.

I... I remember a doll... and a very weird place.

[Her expression is pained for a moment, and it's clear she's not telling the whole truth. She's a lousy liar.]

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

So... So you're not their father? For the way you spoke, I believed so!

[action]

[fathersbeloved]

[Looks up, a bit scared surprised.]

Kinzo...

[fathersbeloved]

...





[Her mind goes back to the doll. It shifts into something else, something she doesn't understand, but makes her shiver visibly. So... a mother and a father? Why does that thought feel so cold?]

[fathersbeloved]

A feeling I have. It... feels lonely... [Touches over her chest.] Here.

In your heart...? [ a moment passes and then ]


Have you lost someone you've loved?

[fathersbeloved]

[Nod...]

Then... can you explain it to me from that perspective? I'm afraid I don't know much from it either.

A child's love is a pretty simple thing. Obviously you can't pick the parents you get, but all the same you'll always feel a sense of devotion to them. You have to be loyal to the people that brought you into this world, right? Unless they do something to betray that loyalty.

But it goes both ways, doesn't it? Or it should, anyway. Heh, I was lucky enough to be born to a caring mother, but different parents show they care in different ways. Every relationship is different, but it's the kind of thing that grows and changes along with both parties. Even if you want to get away from them, family is family... in the end, there's no changing that.

... What has brought this on? [he holds up his PokeGear]

[dead-black-eyes.livejournal.com]

Why do you know nothing of love and hate? And how is Beatrice's soul inside you when she spoke to me not that long ago?

[Video]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

E-eh? Ummm... Beato-san?

[ video ]

[uuing]

Uu-, doing lots of fun things is one part of it!

The other part is lots of love.. so even when Mama and Maria are far apart, Maria doesn't feel lonely at all.

[he can tell, but when people lie, they usually have a reason for it. that is something he can respect]

If it was anything like my dream, it wasn't pleasant.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm afraid I can't answer that, aru.

Not only because I'm male, but... [His calm expression takes on a bittersweet one.] But also because I don't think I'll ever be a father.

[He raised his younger siblings, sure... But raising your own children had to have a different feel to it.]

Do you have any children, Beatrice? [He tilts his head.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

[His own is slightly less quiet.]

He was so warm, we were at first certain that he had a fever. We kept wondering if we should give him looser clothing, if one of us should stay by his side to fan him... But as time went, holding that warmth against our hearts became the most reassuring feeling in the world.

Do you want to talk about it...?
