A poisoning, new criminals... Busy week.

Heather, don't do anything that could get you arrested. [hur.] ... Wright's attacker is probably still on the loose, I'd suggest keeping a watchful eye out. The Police look a little preoccupied with the two new fugitives, so... They probably won't be much help.

[A pause.]

Right, Roy evolved into a Drifblim... I liked him more when he was a Drifloon, but I guess I can't change that...

I might take on the Gym Leader here. Any input on the Leader?

_{[There's a long pause. Heather... is seriously mulling over just what the answer to that question is. And the truth is, she's not sure. It's not a question of whether or not Heather is okay with being a killer. She is, and has been. She had walked right into the very depths of Hell for revenge a little more than a year ago and she'd gone there with the sincere intention of killing her father's murderer with her bare hands.]

[This was similar in some ways, but... also a little different.]

[Phoenix was a friend. And he was alive. And heck, Heather wasn't even really personally involved, or fully felt that she had the right to be. Dahlia was just some crazy bitch, the attack hadn't been directed at Heather in any way.]

[... But she's still angry.]

[She's still really angry.]}

If that's what winds up happening, I don't think I'd be too torn-up over it.

... But I'd settle fine for just hurting her.

Well... I won't say that killing's wrong, that there's no point to it... I won't tell you you shouldn't do it... You're smart, you can figure out your own values... I'm hardly the kind of guy to preach about that. [ Sounds of a lighter flicking. ]

The only thing I'm going to say to you is... If you're going to become somebody that you don't want the rest of the world seeing, don't brag about it.

And don't let your team see it, either.

_{[Heather sighs deeply, and... it's not the sigh of a pissed-off teen-- it's the sigh of someone who's been there, who has done this before and understands exactly what Snake is saying, and is much more than just some kid's indignant wrath. It's not Heather's usual cocky, brash tone. It's an old sigh. Snake will be able to appreciate it.]}

I know.

... I don't... brag about stuff like this.

_{[She bragged a lot about shit that didn't matter-- shit she didn't even care about half the time. It was all part of that carefree, overconfident face she wore in front of the world.]

[But she didn't brag about trying to kill Claudia.]

[And she wasn't going to brag about this-- even if all she wound up doing was going in there for a good, old-fashioned slap-fight.]}

[He does appreciate it, knowing that kind of sigh all too well. Another thought comes to him, however.]
Don't bring Liquid with you. [ takes a long drag. ]

_{[There's a dry, humorless chuckle at that.]}

Wasn't plannin' on it.

I don't think he even knows Phoenix, anyway.

... If you need somebody with you, I'll be around. Even if you can't see me.

_{[That gets a slightly more genuine laugh.]}

Gawd, way to be a creeper.

_{[She doesn't mean that seriously, though-- her tone is a bit more sincere when she adds--]}

Thanks.

[ heakhehfkauef ] I didn't mean it like that.

I'm just kidding with ya.

_{[The opportunity to crack a joke-- even if he didn't intend for it-- was enough to lighten her up a little-- enough that she could put some warmth in her voice.]}

... You saved up much money here, Heather?

... It's building up, I guess. The job pays pretty well and I don't buy much. _{[Not anymore, anyway.]}

... Why?

Hn... it's nothing. Just thought I'd ask... Wanted to make sure you're okay here.

... Yeah, I'm fine...

You planning on leaving or something?

... Nothing like before, don't worry.

I'm not sure... I might get the badge, then see what else is out there. [ feeling like an old man again... ]

_{[She's quiet for a bit.]}

... Good luck, wherever you go. I'll... try to keep an eye on Otacon if you do leave. Like I said.

Yeah, thanks.

I just need a break from the city, I guess... Didn't think I'd say that after being in the wilderness for so long.

... I guess I can understand that. _{[Not really.]}

I'm... gonna stay here. ... I got a hunch that... bitch will show up here at some point. Cities are good places to hide.

And if she gets here, I wanna be the welcoming committee.

_{[... And Dahlia aside, she's also just staying in Goldenrod to brood like a proper protagonist.]}

It looked like she and Wright were near Violet. It could be a while before she gets here, if your hunch is right.

Unless she tries to take that shortcut I keep hearing about.

Either way...

Shortcut?

It's some kinda path north of Goldenrod I guess, takes you to Violet City much faster than having to go through all that woodland and Azalea to get back there does.

I dunno... haven't seen it myself.

Hhrrn... Sounds handy.

I'll be heading north anyway, so I'll let you know if I see anything.
