First Meal - Video - Action for Route 1

[tm83]

[It's time for Cilan! He's turned on his video feed, Route 1 behind him - and a small, shy smile on his face.]
Ah-- is it working, Pansage? [A hand waves from behind the Xtransiever - a bit of yellow hitting the screen.] Good. I didn't have one before...
Anyway, hello! My name is Cilan - but, you might know that. [Sheepishly, he continued.] I'm another newcomer? This is c-confusing. [Note how he's touching his chest - his heart. Death is confusing guys.]
But, I should go onwards - this world is waiting for us, right Pansage? I wonder how long we'll spend training...
[At the end of the feed, he turns - there's a wild Pokemon! Just before the feed turns off, Pansage comes on screen - and it has scars over one eye. Hm.]

He... he was one of the Triad. Formerly.
But, he was a traitor - and he's ashamed, not to mention...
[...Silence. Garland can't bring himself to say it. So, he's silent for a few moments - nearly a minute. Until he can finally say...]
He was to be killed.

The... Shadow Triad? [It made sense; the three always wore disguises, and N had no idea what they really looked like. A look of horror crosses his expression. His father's servants-- here! They would know where he was.

But he stops inwardly panicking at the word "traitor" to listen. When Garland has finished, he just stares in shock.] Killed? [He's heard Ghetsis threaten servants with death before, but as far as he knew, he never went through with those threats.] And he was... brought here before that could happen?

I-I don't know.
[Garland then sighed again.]
I remember him dying. I remember searching for a trainer to try and help me find what happened - and I remember speaking with you, about her. [He did. Though, it might have been another Lord N.] However, he looks just like he did on that day. H-he doesn't look hurt at all.

[N looks a bit disturbed by all this. Hearing that he was part of the Shadow Triad was enough, but brought back from the dead as well? And Pansage remembered him... N curls up where he is on the bed subconsciously, averting his eyes.] I don't... remember speaking to you about any such trainer... [Could Pansage be referring to Hilda?]

... If Cilan has been labeled a traitor, does that mean he is no longer loyal to Team Plasma?

That's a hard question. [Garland said, closing his eyes.] He was raised to be loyal, and had nothing left. After all, it was Cress who delivered the final blow. [Hahaha... what a sad state of affairs.] But his loyalty has been shaken.
