Alright, avoiding the ears it is, then.
"...thank you, Weavile. For sticking with me. Even despite our recent disagreements and the...things I've said that I probably shouldn't have. It's really appreciated."
...
"...I don't really care what they think about me...but damn it, I do care about what they're doing to Blackthorn...they're so caught up in their old ways that they're destroying the city from the inside out in an attempt to keep everything the same as it has been...they're so afraid of change that they don't even realize that it's inevitable at this point..."
Reiner looks Weavile in the eyes. "...Clair was going to help me, Weavile. Despite everything, despite what the Elders were going to think about it, she was going to work with me to change Blackthorn for the better...save the city we both love...and now, because of those crotchety old fools, she's..."
...he can't continue to look Weavile in the eyes right now. Can't finish that sentence.
"...damn them to the cold, merciless afterlife and back...they don't even know what they were messing with when they gave her Megido's Revelation...I tried to warn her...tried to save her from their folly...and it was all for nothing in the end...it's just caused more needless pain and suffering..."
.....That can be arranged, my love.....
Anyone that makes you suffer......they deserve to suffer themselves.
Now.....and forever.....
Well, now Reiner's both angry and sad on top of feeling a little happy in the immediate moment.
What a combination, right?
[Dear Dragonstrike, you've been involved long before my shadows have fell upon yours, and I started whispering sweet nothings in your ears. Reiner existence, this world or some variant of it , all brought into fruition because you wish to immense yourself in a reality not of your own! ]
[All I'm just doing at this point is......enlivening things for humdrum old you. Don't you agree how boring or uninteresting things would be without me, lurking in the background, and the dark corners of your mind, trying to figure out exactly what I'm up to? Hehehehe......]
A hum of approval was issued from Big Sis as you resumed the grooming, content with the simple pleasure of your figures parting her fur and scratching all the hard to reach itches. Ahh.....if only you had a brush or other hair care products, like the pompous rich trainers she's robbed or begged a meal/Item off of.....
The cat thief's smirk was erased and replaced with a look scrunched up look of befuddlement as you revealed that Clair want to help him in his goals to transform Blackthorn and strip it of its hidebound traditionalism. What? As far as he knew, that bitch would sooner pledge allegence to Pryce than ever seriously entertain the idea of abandoning her hard ass and strict adherence to the 'good old Blackthorn way' , so he must be missing some important details here.
When you trailed off at the end and refused to meet his gaze, Weavile's confusion only grew as he wonder what in the heck you were so hesitant to-
Oh.
Oh no.
Weavile's expression morphed into one of stunned disbelief, as he slowly pieced together the various details and clues he's picked up for you and you.
Clair's disappearance after THAT battle......Mew's subsequent breakdown and soon to be lose of emotion.......his partner's immense stress and guilt about both.
It was all connected.
She just didn't up and flee after getting her ass handed to her.
She was mulched.
By Mew. Somehow.
The pink fuzz ball couldn't handle it.
......and now Reiner has to pick up the scatter remains of both those Arceas damned messes, and still find a way to make it all work .
No wonder they're so angry, mopey, philosophical, and just plain tired and miserable , despite trying to repress it or keep a semi positive attitude around him and their Pokémon.
Just as quick as it came, the shock faded, replace by a neutral frown on his face as he silently listened to them mourn the loss of their cousin.
Then, and only after you were finished and lapsed into silence.....
....
....
....he hugged you.
Nothing fancy, just a simple hug. To show he's there for you, and that he understands.
He couldn't claim to share the same love or compassion for Clair as his partner - he honestly didn't care for her all that much after repeatedly having his furry ass demolished and thrown back into the Ice Path for 'tresspassing' into Blackthorn - but that doesn't mean he couldn't still be their form them and give them strength.
They'll get through this together, with Kingdra, Arbok, and all the other allies they've made this past crazy week alone.
.....and then they'll get revenge on those bastards that were responsible for setting her up for death.
....
.......
........... . . . . Memories of dead old past, rise again. . . . . .. . . . . . . .may they be buried now, laid to rest...
