80. [Voice/Action] Locked to Rise, backdated to the evening of October 6th

[TIME IS SHORT. The Tournament's only lasting so long, so Heather's gotta take advantage of the time she's in-town while she can. It's time to make good on a promise.]

[Which is why she's hurrying down the darkening streets of Goldenrod City for the first time in a good few months, hastily following the directions she's got written down on a scrap of paper. With the fights starting first thing in the morning, she's gotta squeeze out every last drop of bonding time the night will hold.]

[When she does reach her destination (with just a FEW wrong turns in the process), her first reaction is to stop and let out an impressed whistle.]

[... And then tug her PokeGear out of her pocket.]


[VOICE, to Rise]


RISE.

Your house is huge. Come let me in.

You're seriously okay with that?

[ she doesn't look altogether convinced, but that's Rise for you. She at least cares enough not to press it this time. ]

I figured...

[ so she thinks it's one-sided? Rise will have to investigate into this further.

... For now, she only gives Heather THE SAD PUPPY EYES. ]


Not worth trying...?

... Heather...

... Are you an idiot?

That's the second-worst kind.

[ really, Heather, she was hoping that for once, she'd have an easier time with this. ]

I get that, seriously. [ and really, she does, though not on the level Heather endures on a daily basis. ] But would you take that kind of excuse from anyone?

[ ... Rise can smile or laugh off a lot of things, but this isn't one of them. Especially because while she does have not-so-fond memories of a homicidal fetus, she can't even begin to relate to having to kill another human being, let alone the father of a close friend.

The screaming... she won't talk about that.

In fact, for the moment, she can't talk. She just sits there, eyes glazed in some weird, dark thought, while the rest of her scrambles desperately for a way to handle this that doesn't involve SEVERE BACKPEDALING. ]

[ a headshake, almost immediately. ]

N-no, it's not that... I'm not...

[ what kind of friend is she, to have no idea that... ]
