I... I wanted to ask you to help me with something. AZ is... really upset. I mean... I know... how scary it is to die and how strange it is to be brought back, but I... I've had a lot of time to deal with it. I want to reassure him that everything will be all right, but... I don't know how to tell him that.
[She sighs and settles against the pillow again.]
... I don't know how to help him. I just want to make him feel safe and okay, but... but my words can't reach him the same way yours can. I don't speak human.
I don't know. I think he'd believe in your words, whatever you told him. But of course it's still bothering him. It'd bother anyone... and it's just...
... I think he might feel that he didn't deserve it. He's never really forgiven himself for what he did... and I don't think what Lysandre did made it any better. At least the weapon probably can't be used anymore, but...
[She sighs and covers her eyes briefly. Come on, N. You were associated with a bad guy team. You talk to him.]
[She huffs a bit, and covers her eyes briefly, in... the equivalent of a facepalm.]
I'm not saying he... didn't do a bad thing. He knows he did. But he's still beating himself up for it. I want to help him, and he's trying, but... he's just... I don't know. Humans... are strange, and I don't think I can help him with that.
... I just wish that he could stop hurting so much.
[She floats over to him to lean against him gently. Why are people dumb, N?]
I guess I don't understand. I mean... I was mad for a long time, but I know he didn't mean to hurt me. I think if he'd been thinking clearly, he wouldn't have wanted to hurt all of those other Pokemon, either. But he didn't even forgive himself at all until recently. He didn't want to reach out to anyone...
I'd been watching and he didn't even know. Is that weird? I guess I've always been good at hiding... but I could feel his heart calling out to me when he finally realized that he could start moving forward.

I'm not sure what I could say to him. I've never experienced what you two have.

Date: 2016-03-30 12:27 pm (UTC)... No, I mean... I think he thinks he didn't deserve to come back. He knows that's silly, since he cares about you and Hilda, but...

Date: 2016-03-30 09:57 pm (UTC)Oh.
[This is even more out of his skill set then he initially thought it was going to be.]
I don't think... that's something any of us have any control over, regardless of how we feel about it.

He made a mistake and he's been atoning for it for centuries.
[A sigh, hand through the mess of green.]
I don't understand humans much better than you, Floette. All I know is that guilt is a powerful emotion in us.

He has done everything he can at this point. I'll talk to him, but... I can't make him feel things he doesn't want to feel.
