-Alyssa leads Crewe to Echo's office. As they enter, Echo quickly puts something away before looking up to greet the two.-

Echo: Oh, hello.

-She looks over Crewe-

Echo: A friend of Alyssa's, I take it?

-Herbert turns away, going back to looking over the cliff.-

Herbert: ...Let's take an entirely hypothetical scenario. Let's say you have a friend, and a very good friend at that. And let's say that you've always liked this friend as more than a friend, but you're pretty certain that she doesn't feel the same way. So after a while, you start to drift apart from this friend, and you decide to start looking for a girlfriend elsewhere. And let's say that you manage to find a girlfriend, and at first she seems to be everything you could ever ask for in a girl. But then it turns out that this new girlfriend has attachment issues up the wazoo, and on top of that you meet up with your old friend and she ends up telling you that she's always had feelings for you as well. What would you do?

-Beat.-

Herbert: Again, just to clarify, this is all entirely hypothetical.

Duke blinks and stops to think for a bit "<Well... I guess it all depends on who you like the most. I guess the first girl matches what happened with me and Lyuri, but if before dating her I had a girlfriend with some issues... Well, I like Lyuri more, so I'd break up and start a relationship with her I think. I'd feel bad for doing so, but... Yeah.>"

-Herbert continues to stare off into the middle distance.-

Herbert: ...But you've got a thing for lost causes. Wouldn't you want try and help said girlfriend overcome those issues?

Echo: I'm Echo. It's nice to meet you, Crewe.

Same to you.

-Crewe puts her hands in her pockets and shifts her weight back, looking Echo up and down-

So. I hear you help people.

Duke rolls his eyes a little before answering "<I would try to help, yeah. But I don't need to be her boyfriend to help. I'd make sure to break up without causing any more damage to her and try to help her get over those issues as a friend. A person is only a lost cause if you think they're never going to get better and do nothing to help. That's what I think.>"

"<It might make things worse, but you can help heal that wound eventually, I think. Either way, staying with her just because of her issues is not a good option.>"

-He is silent for several moments before speaking again.-

Herbert: Thanks for the advice, I guess. Even if it wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear.

You don't look... enthused. You got a problem with the J-Team? We help people, too.

Shalour Outskirts

Val and co. have finally made it out of Reflection Cave. Val walks slightly ahead of Fuji and Jet as they talk.

Jet:<Nah, it's like you're with everything. You don't even need feet, cause you're up in the sky. It's total freedom.

Fuji:-puzzled look-<You've been talking a good ten minutes and I still don't know what the hell you're talking about.>

Jet:<Nevermind. Shouldn't try to explain the awesomeness of flying to a Ground-type.-He looks over at Val- You think he's still mad?>

Fuji:-Chuckling-<Yeah,probly. It was hilarious though.>

They both start giggling a bit before Val turns around and glares at them. A large red mark is visible on his forehead.

"I can hear both of you."

They burst out in laughter.

Jet:<Aww, come on! It's not our fault you kept running into mirrors. Besides, something good came out of it. You got a new one>

Val looks down at the Poke ball holding a Carbink.

"Yeah, whatever. Come on ,let's go rest up at the Center."

Fuji:<Watch out for mirrors!>

Jet and Fuji start cracking up again.

Echo: ...I do not think the J-Team would approve of our methods. And I can't say I approve of theirs.

"<Just... Think of what is better for you. I know you might want to help people, but... Well, isn't the whole point of being in a relationship staying with someone that makes you happy? If you stay with someone just because they have issues you're afraid of making worse, then eventually she'll notice that you seem unhappy with the whole relationship and it's possible what you feared will happen anyway. Help, but think of yourself first.>"

Duke then stops to think for a bit before rubbing the back of his head.

"<... I'm probably not the best example for you to base yourself on, but I hope I could be of help.>"

-Herbert shrugs.-

Herbert: To be entirely honest, I'm not really sure what was going through my head when I asked you for advice. I guess it's pretty helpful, though, even if I don't plan on treating it as gospel.

-Beat.-

Herbert: Not that I'm planning on acting on it at all, of course, since again, entirely hypothetical and all that.

-Herbert frowns in annoyance that seems mostly feigned.-

Herbert: You have no way of telling whether or not any of that is applicable to my situation. Or at least, I don't think you do...

-Echo analyzes Crewe, then sighs and looks away-

Echo: I've seen what they do. They've stopped countless "villains", yes, and even saved the world. I can appreciate that they've done that, but... no matter where they go, needless conflict follows in their wake. That is the greatest thing we're opposed to here. Our goal is a world without conflict, after all.

Duke sighs and sits next to Herbert "<Herbert. Just some time ago you were happy you had a girlfriend and going by your description of the second girl, I'm pretty sure that would match your feelings at the time. If you're like this now, it's because there's something wrong.>"
