Time for continuing Eltenios' interview.
The Arcanine is resting as he listens to more interview questions that come from... somewhere. He does allow himself a bit of commentary.
Really, for this 'Haysan' creature... no further questions, but my attempt at sympathy. While I know the feel of days blurring one past another... I can not truly understand in any way the feeling of having no ambition, of having no desire... the feeling of not moving.
It's creepy man. Be careful. If you cry for the guardian forces, I hope they spare a thought for you and you never have to go through something like that again.
"So, Eltenios, I have a question," asks the creature who has engaged him before. "Are you sure the ones you love care about you? Like... What would you do if everything collapsed right before your eyes?"
I shift a bit in my place. The ones I love? Like, the peoplemons I care about? This is not something I have deeply delved into... (*nervous sniff*) I have good friends... like, two or three... I care about them and they care about me. I'm confident about that.
You are weird with the questions you ask... like what if everything burned down? Like, can you imagine even what would that mean when you ask that question? I've heard prophecies man. Friends, homes, countries... everything gone. I... I have to be confident that will not come to pass. The guardian forces and their chosen Champion trainer will see to that... right?
But if something bad were to happen... If I was betrayed or abandoned...
Where will I go?
Now I've no home?
I'll do as my kin does.
I'll run.
And let the wind and the rain wash away those bad days, and start anew somewhere else. Maybe across the sea. Or in the sea. That pirate idea sounds like it'd be the crack if things went that badly.
"What does love mean to you?"
Uhm... well, I'm not sure what you are asking. Humans have such strange concepts. We majuu mostly seek each other to breed and spend some quality time raising our offspring, and sometimes not even that... but the human kind gives this simple name to such a broad and abstract thing.
I have... never sought for a mate. Sometimes I feel the wind tugging at me to go chase after those of my kin. Look out for one who likes to run as I do, and who wants to see the wide lands as I do. (*may or may not catch the interviewer smirking*) Hey, I did mention I am a very busy Pokémon! Maybe one of these days... but not right now.
"What makes you happy?"
Hmmm... I guess the closest thing I could relate to happiness, since I have not yet fulfilled my purpose in life, would be the time I spend with others of my kind. Seekers. Runners. When we are set free, we are set free, and we can go wherever we want and feel whatever we want. And our thoughts stay with each other. And sometimes the stories of what and who we find on the road are fun.
"What makes you nervous or uncomfortable?"
Owww... well, reporting to the guardian forces is always a bit of a complicated and messy matter. You have to find them, or worse they find you. And when that happens there is no escape. You better had done your task well, or else.
There's also the rain. Rain makes me nervous. It makes it harder for me to see, and it brings back memories of times of solitude and weakness. Plus it does nasty things with my awesome fur.
I am okay with the windy days, but not so much with the rain.
So, for this 'Wizardmon' creature...
You speak highly of loyalty and since I was asked about certain... bad feelings. But about you... what can you tell me about betrayal? Have you felt it? Have it pierce your flesh? What was it like, and how would you prepare for it?
