"Celes. Whenever there's a situation like this, you have to explain fully what you did in the past. Before it comes up." I said softly, yet sounding a bit authoritative. 

Don't chastise me over the irony of this. It's not like Davis is out to kill me; it's the other way around. Or something completely different, say a peaceful reconciliation. 

"Now..." I strained my eye to deal with the sudden increase of pain. "Where I came from, Pokemon like myself were discriminated. Yet, there would always be this group, dedicated to our safety. Full of Pokemon not unlike myself, and others who we unlike myself." I lied. I wished that was true over a decade ago, but of course life wasn't fair. "We are that group, similarly. I don't expect anyone here to be bastards to turn you in for profit (excluding myself, but you get what I mean). The main problem is if you get caught, and if that happens then... well, Spruce's reputation will be tarnished, I'd have to return to my community, Kamina... something bad, and you definitely won't be better off." I would've added 'your family will probably play Ruszian roulette with those three stones,' but that was too graphic. Plus, Celes didn't need to be disturbed to the point where she'd go crazy to avoid her family.

"Point is, we can always try to look out for you, but you have to explain yourself first." If I thought differently, I'd say I sounded like I wanted her to turn herself in. "Arceus, I need something to take the pain away."
