[Zulf finds it easier to post at night, away from the bustle of daily activity; it feels far less like he's shouting over everyone else, and more like he can just speak his mind.
He's kept mostly to himself today, distancing himself from Zia and simply spending long periods of time sitting alone near one of the small streams winding its way through the trees, allowing her to explore as much as she liked without nagging her to be careful; it was unlike him, perhaps, but he hadn't exactly been too open with his thoughts on the Bastion, either. The Calamity had sobered him a good amount; what had happened afterwards...well. It wasn't anything to be talked about, either.
He should be used to losing people by now; he isn't sure what to do with the fact that he probably never will be.
The feed hums alive to depict one of the routes, though it's difficult to tell which; there's a rather large magenta...mass behind him, curled up and appearing to be breathing - those that are familiar with Scolipede's coloring may recognize it. Zulf had simply found its ball among his belongings, taking up that sixth slot after he had finally given in and left one of the creatures he had obtained in the box, given that he didn't have the heart to keep it in the ball when it was within plain sight and that hadn't been an option around his previous company.
He had scanned it with the PokéDex, as he had been instructed to; its name was Hanako.
Original Trainer...]
I don't know how many others here knew this man; for those that did, Kariya Matou is no longer in Johto.
He will be missed greatly; may he feel Mother's love and protection, even now that he's returned to his home world.
[And that is, quite frankly, all.]

no subject
Are you all right?
no subject
Yes, of course I'm alright. I wasn't expecting that, that's all.
no subject
If you insist.
no subject
[That's a good boy, Zulf! You believe what he says!]
no subject
You're allowed to keep secrets, you know.
no subject
[...no seriously what is this?]
no subject
You don't have to lie to me.
no subject
...Thank you, then.
no subject
[And he has all the subtlety of a steamroller. Zulf...]
no subject
Well, I'm not exactly used to people offering me this, I suppose.
[...what does he do with you bb...?]
no subject
Is there a reason behind that? I'm not saying you're at fault; I just don't see a reason why they would.
no subject
[Well, he can, he just doesn't want to.]
But most people don't care, it's not them I have the issue with when it comes to this. Kimblee - the one here - continues to press issues, sometimes when they're better left dropped.
[Archer doesn't sound mad at all. It's just an explanation.]
no subject
Why is that?
[He's not sounding accusatory at all; he just...doesn't understand this. Boundaries are something he didn't understand for quite some time, but that's because he had no one to teach him; he was always under the impression that it was just something people...learned from others somehow, from being raised normally. He doesn't see why someone wouldn't understand this - surely someone must have taught him eventually?]
no subject
[...Okay, it's more like "our best interest in mind", but there's no way to say that and not sound creepy.]
no subject
[zulf bb not at all]
no subject
[Hahaha yeah right.]
no subject
no subject
[...not at all, but he's trying...]
no subject
It's more that I understand where those boundaries might not always be clear, I mean.
no subject
[...that sounds more like Kimblee than anything else! ...except he still doesn't know what empathy is! orz]
no subject
[This is so horribly awkward; it isn't something he's discussed with...well, anyone, outside of Rucks.]
no subject
[He genuinely does mean that too!]
no subject
...as I've said, if you want to talk to me about anything, I'll listen.
Otherwise, I'm content to let you keep your secrets, as long as it won't bring anyone harm.
no subject
[Other than the fact that he's crazy....]
no subject
...yep.]
I doubt you would tell me if you did.
[That actually isn't accusatory at all. Blunt as hell, yes, but not accusing him of anything.]
Most who have secrets like that don't share that they exist, after all.
