(neverlandfaerai) Peter sits down criss-cross-applesauce in front of the shaymin, rocking back and forth slightly a couple times.
“OHHH OH you’re looking for flowers!!! I don’t have any gracy-dea flowers but you can have some of mine!!”
He reaches a clawed hand behind him, feeling around his hair before pulling out a blue and purple flower, biting his tongue while doing so. A couple leaves float down as he tried to pick them out. Once obtained, he offers it to Avin.
“Too bad you can’t go back to the Sky place. Why can’t you anymore?… Is it a secret?”
Avin stared at the flower Peter was offering them for a second before they smiled, obviously touched by the gesture. "Oh, you didn't need to do that. But thank you, I greatly appreciate it." Avin moved closer and sat down in front of Peter. "Please, put it in my hedge, if you don't mind. I don't want it to be damaged and if I'm careful enough with it, my hedge might actually accept it as a permanent growth!" they explained gleefully.
"As for your question... it's not so much that it's a secret. Sky Peak has been a major tourist attraction for the last few years after some explorers from a guild in the west managed to chart the forests around the base of our mountain.
"The time freeze there isn't a secret either. If anything, it's extremely well publicized because the guilds don't want people wandering the area unsupervised. Nothing like this has ever happened before so all we have to go off of in terms of effects on the general populace are stories passed down through generations and other speculation.
Avin furrowed their brow worriedly. "Some of the explorers from the Cosmos Guild mentioned that they started to feel really lethargic and heavy the longer they were in the area that froze. The medics didn't find anything wrong with them, but people are theorizing this might be the freeze taking root in them. That if you're there for too long, you'll end up frozen like everyone else," they said in a solemn tone. "Plus... all of my friends were frozen in the escape, aside from Kaji. I'm... I'm not sure I could handle seeing them in such a state."
