[There is a blink. A blink, and a pause, as Emporio registers the question. The non-question, rather.
He's been standing this whole time. Only now does he sit, hands supporting him as he sits back somewhat, clearly in thought.]
....Oh, [Is what he finally says.
'Oh'.]
...I guess...I'm not used to explaining that, still. ...I thought I would be- but somehow if anything I think the more it comes up, the less it feels like I can bring it up.
[In Green Dolphin it was easy. He was there, they asked, he answered. They moved on.
Elsewhere, it leaves a lingering awkwardness, something that his own new boyfriend proved just the day before when they were talking.] ...I guess...Narancia didn't say anything about that either then, [he murmurs, moving to lean over with a thoughtful stare at the floor.]
...I guess...I just grew up in a strange environment? ...Before I came here, I could probably count who I could talk to on one hand. ...Literally- not 'closely'.
Burning Down the House doesn't manifest like the others do- it was just something I could do...er, 'use', I guess. It lets me interact with 'ghost objects'. You know the Burned Tower? In Ecruteak? During those weekends where our powers return, I can access the tower that used to be there.
...The Ghost Room at Green Dolphin... ...the prison that Jolyne was incarcerated at... ...That's where I lived. ...That's where I grew up.
[The smile is. Pained. At least he isn't...outwardly being weird about it? He's definitely bracing for a shift in behavior over the next few days though.] It was a lot more space at least. And more people. Like I said, I was more used to...well. Being alone.

Date: 2022-12-27 08:38 am (UTC)Okay, so. This puts a lot into perspective, even if Bruno does not like it.
So he just nods thoughtfully.]
I see... this explains a lot. Thank you for telling me this. Coming to Kanto and Johto must have been quite the change for you, then.

But it's probably best to leave such things be anyway, hm?
