PK? ... But yeah. ... I've always been good with animals. At least ones that aren't actively attacking me.

She's my little brat monster. Not a bad girl, but likes to get into trouble anyway.

[Izabel grins.]

Pretty good trait to have over here. I bet your goo dragon thinks you're an awesome trainer, even if you're not doing much actual training.

I hope so! He's a dragon like me, so it's fun to be around him. ... Even if he's not an Endless, too. I think.

[Uhhhhh...]

Dragon...? An Endless dragon? I'm not sure I follow.

[Sure, her ears were a little smaller, her nose stuck out more, and she was, you know, alive, but she was still pretty close to how she'd been before. Ryu looked...pretty normal, for someone saying he was a giant lizard.]

Well, I'm not transformed right now. ... I mean... I can't transform here for some reason, but I'm sure that I'll be able to soon!

[She raises an eyebrow, just watching him a few moments, then sighs and looks down at her feet.]

Yeah, buddy, I...don't know about that. I don't really get your whole deal? But I can't really see myself magically being what I was and doing what I could do one day. We might just, like. Be done. This might be us, now.

... I can't be. I still have things I have to do at home...

[... Now he's sad. He looks down and tries not to start sniffling. He still has to find Fou-Lu...]

[Ohhh man, oh WHOOPS, you know dealing with little baby Hazel and all her own siblings probably should have prepared her more for Suddenly Sad Feelings.]

I mean, it could also be like, fuck me, right? I don't have to be right! Not like I know everything. [Except she was dead, super duper dead, and Hazel wasn't around, she had to be mega dead.] Uh, like what do you gotta do? Do you remember what you were doing before you got here?

Y... yeah. I was trying to find both Fou-Lu and Nina's sister. It all got really complicated... but I still need to do both of those things.

Yeesh. Alright, so that sounds pretty bad, but it also wasn't like... Anything super bad right before you woke up here, right?

[There's no good way to ask corporeal people if they might possibly also have become super dead and didn't realize it, okay.]

Your buddies, though. Are they also this...Endless dragon thing?

Um... sort of... but Nina calmed me down from it.

[The question makes him smile slightly.]

Nina and her sister are from the Wing Clan. Fou-Lu's an Endless too, since he's the other half of me.

[Alright, seeing as he doesn't really seem to be considering that possibility and people usually knew that kind of thing... Izabel relaxes, going back to her own easy smile.

...Of course, he still doesn't really make sense, but that's okay. She hangs out with a toddler.]

Other half, huh? Hard to be apart from those for too long. [No matter which of the three ways she can come up with to explain that he means.] I knew some Wings, before I came here. They not all great, obviously, but my boss is pretty cool!

Wings? So you know people from Wyndia too?

[Is she actually from his world? He brightens up a bit, grinning even more.]

Nah, they're from Landfall. Could be other planets that have 'em, though... I know they trampled all over mine. Maybe the ones you know left a long time ago to escape the war going on.

[Nobody could have been like Marko and Alana, she was sure, but... Wanting to get away and live in peace wasn't such an odd thing, right?]

Other... planets?

[He just... looks up at her in confusion.]

[uh]

...Space?

... I - like between stuff?

[What is space.]

[oh child no]

...Okay, uh. Here.

[She digs into her bag, pulling out one of her empty pokeballs to show to him and a black marker. A few scribbles later and the ball has a few circles in varying sizes.]

We're gonna say this is a planet, okay? They all look kinda different and come in different sizes. All the things I drew on it are chunks of land, super big. Big enough that you can see it from space. Which is here. People made these ships so they can go out into space and go from planet to planet, since they're all so far apart. There's other stuff there, too, like moons, suns, asteroids, stars... You see that stuff in the sky and it looks all tiny, but they're actually not!

[With her drawing hand, Izabel gestures vaguely to the area around the ball.]

And we would be here! [The smallest little marker dot is placed on one of her "continents".] Except way smaller than that. Planets are huge. Space is mega huge.

[He watches her explain carefully, and frowns. ... This is all confusing, but...]

I wonder... I wonder if one of those other planet... things... is where the Endless come from?

[But how do they get there?]

But I came from a ritual, not a ship.

[She shrugs, tossing the pokeball up in the air and catching it.]

Could be? [She still doesn't really get that, so at least they're both having problems in the conversation.] I mean, you were talking about magic spells and stuff. I've never been summoned by a spell, but Klara banished me off the ship before she knew I was the babysitter. That's like a ritual to send someone away, so you could probably do that in reverse for you guys.

I guess. I don't know a lot about it.

[He pulls out his Pokeball and fiddles with it a little bit.]

And this is another world, I guess. Another planet.

[Izabel nods, grinning as she shifts her weight onto one foot.]

You bet! Or a moon, whatever. Some place with a different environment, different people, different culture... Maybe it's closer, like this -- [She holds her pokeball about a foot away, then hides it behind her back. Couldn't exactly chuck the thing.] -- or maybe it's a few aisles away, with lots of stuff between them so they never interact. Maybe it's even at the pokemon center instead!

It's weird to think of stuff so far away...

[And he thought the Empire was far from the Kingdoms.]

I guess it must be.

[Izabel doesn't seem at all bothered by it. She's traveled space for years.]

Makes me hopeful, though. There are places like this, where there isn't war going on, just some dumb play battles people insist on doing for some reason. Who knows what else is out there?

Yeah, exactly! And maybe somewhere there's people who know more about where the Endless come from.
