there he is! her student--at this very contest! what a way to reunite. she hasn’t seen him in so long, and neither has her zorua seen the older brother that he’d gifted her. she sorely missed him at her lessons, as he was one of her wiser and more experienced, but no . he was a champion and a dedicated trainer--he likely had other uses of his time that were worthwhile.
fresh out of the dressing room she runs over to him with her zorua in tow. virgil was still too young to be in the battle rounds at such a high-level competition, but his skill would be well-used for the appeals. his night daze was truly something, something she was doubly glad that pieter marek was here to see--hopefully dante the zoroark was here as well, to be proud of his young brother’s progress.
❝pieter! how have things been? you’ve been keeping up with your coordinating skills, i can see. oh, i sure hope we’re paired together in the battle rounds!❞
it’s only a few moments now before they announce the order of appeals. when all is over, she expects to see him where she expects to see herself: at the very top.
