I'd never do such a thing out of my own volition. I feel like I've made that clear.
[ just the thought of doing something so utterly reckless makes him want to bash his head against a wall. sure, he's had thoughts about trying to prove himself, but those were personal insecurities that he knows better than to act on. it wouldn't be rational.
but this isn't about him. not only has he inconvenienced edna, but something about the way she's speaking... it's as if she's trying to be brash, but the emotion is seeping through. he's observant enough to notice, and he lets out an audible sigh before he crouches down so that they're properly face to face. it doesn't seem proper to look down at her at a time like this. ]
But regardless... You have my word that I will. I won't allow this to happen again, no matter what.
[ he'll get stronger - mentally stronger. his insecurities can't be taken advantage of if they no longer exist. ]
[ despite the small smile playing on his lips, he honestly, truly doesn't. with a tongue as sharp as her's, he can tell that she has the force to back it up. ]
[ Good Steven. Bad Champion. Either way, she'll let that matter slide and try to...steer the conversation away from the fact that she was acting rather emotional (for her) a few moments ago. ]
Have you just been going around and groveling to everyone you know?

[ A moment of silence is what it takes for her to calm down more after processing Steven's words. ]
Like I said, I know worse methods of punishment than mere parasol badonking.
[ And there she is back again, pulling herself together again to hide that crack in the rock solid wall. ]

All of my Pokémon took refuge with different people in my absence, so I need to retrieve them. The least I can do is apologize for the inconvenience.
