[closed] you're not the hero. you never were
Who: Siffrin(?), Siffrin, and Odile
What: What happened when the Siffrins simply got spirited away from the network
Where: The woods! Just barely into the Northern Forest.
When: Backdated to early October
Warnings: SPOILERS, and the usual
[In the woods approximately five minutes away from the Canopy (because that's how close they got back to town before they got wound down), there is: a Shinx. They're fidgeting, claws extending and retracting, puncturing fallen leaves; it's still very tempting to just run. But. At this point. They are pretty sure it is far too late.]
[They can hear footsteps, distantly: the measured steps of a Weavile that already feel familiar again, even after barely more than a week, with a certain sort of restrained frustration. More rapid than usual. The anxious, light scamper of a Meowth, only audible because they know to listen for it. They can't quite tell who's going to get to them first.]
[Either way, whenever someone does show up, they immediately straighten up, still their paws, and scrunch up their eyes in a forced smile. Their mouth... doesn't match. There's just enough of a grin that it doesn't look like a natural cat expression, but it's still very faint, like they've forgotten that they need to put effort into that part of their face too.]
[It's self-defense. It's this expression or look terrified.]

Really, her own instinct is to go on calling the both of them Siffrin. If this one has not chosen a new name, doesn't it stand to reason that they've chosen not to? But then, maybe they simply haven't had the time. "Loop" doesn't sound like it had a lot of thought put into it. "You can also take some time to think about it, if you like." She's already started to pick up their way of naming people; she's called Siffrin "forgetful one" and things like that in the past.
[1/2]
They're silent for a moment.
[2/2]
(They don't want to take time to think about it. They don't want to think about it at all.)
(...maybe later.)

Odile nods sharply. That is...enough for now. Not forever by a long shot, but there's obviously far too much to get through in a single sitting. "Come on, then. We'd best track down Siffrin." You see? Context.
