The rocks moved in the way of Starr's paw, blocking it for the most part before dissipating into small flecks of light, leaving Starr's claws to weakly scrape against Cabot's right arm. "H-Hey!" Cabot abruptly jerked his arm back, though more out of reflex rather than it actually hurting him.

"I... think they're supposed to shield me," Cabot said. He slowly took a step forward, only for the rocks to move with him.

"If you're sure..." Cabot still seemed reluctant, but turned towards the sea in order to practice Radiance nevertheless. The Cranidos let out a sigh as he wondered where to even begin with this. Who knew what sort of move he could use? Would it be an attack? Something that could boost his own...

"Eh..." Cabot looked at Cynthian hesitantly, in particular at his uncanny, bright glowing eyes. "Maybe you should take it easy and try to calm down first?" he asked. "Your voice sounds strange and Maple did warn us that using these powers too much could be dangerous."

Cabot nodded back at Starr, when Cynthian's petal abruptly flew onto his forehead. "Wha-?!" He reflexively stepped back and pulled the petal off his head, only for a strange feeling to wash over him. Cabot blinked as he suddenly started seeing things like openings in how Cynthian and Starr...

Cabot gave Starr a concerned look. "Are you okay? You were moving pretty fast, but it also looked like it hurt you."

Cabot tilted his head in confusion. "Eh? But these powers manifest differently for everyone, so how can Starr figure that out for us? And how would coordinating us help her use her own powers?"

"Sure! I'd be up for that!" Cabot exclaimed. "I won't learn how to use these powers by just sitting around, anyway."

Cabot had silently watched the exchange between Starr and Cynthian, though couldn't help but feel sorry for the latter when he talked about getting bullied. He could only imagine what Cynthian must have gone through for his parents to pull him out of daycare entirely. When Starr admitted she was...

"I was actually here because the beach reminds me the most of my own world," Cabot answered. "Thought I'd take a moment to relax a little with everything that's happened the past two weeks, you know?" The Cranidos shifted a bit, before continuing on. "That said... there was something Cynthian...

"Alright, though I'm sure things will be fine!" Cabot turned back towards the beach and made his way over to Starr alongside Cynthian, giving a cheery wave as he approached her. "Hey there, Starr! Trying to figure out what Radiance abilities you got?"

"Maybe you should try talking to her?" Cabot offered. "Things won't get any better if you keep avoiding her."

"Well, everyone was very on edge that morning because our upcoming battle was gonna be twice that hard," Cabot began. "I'm not saying that what she did was good, but maybe that would explain why she acted that way. Whenever I've talked to Starr she always seemed pretty nice, so she could have...

Cabot paused. "Wait, you mean the morning when we found out we had to fight Sushi and Sashimi?"

Cabot tilted his head, giving Cynthian a look of concern. "What... happened exactly that made her do that? And when did it happen?"

"Eh? But we're on the same team. Why would she purposely try to hurt you?"

"Huh?" Cabot looked behind him in confusion, before turning back to Cynthian. "How come you don't wanna go anymore? The beach is pretty big, so I don't think you have to worry about Starr accidentally burning you or something."

Shortly after Diyem went silent Cabot got up and started walking back towards the beach's exit. Along the way he noticed Starr training by herself, seemingly trying out new moves. The Cranidos briefly stopped, wondering to himself if perhaps Starr was trying to figure out what powers she had...

Cabot blinked in surprise a moment, before shifting his gaze down towards the ground with a small smile. "I guess, you must not be used to that."

Maybe you just need help from someone who can? I can be there to support you or maybe help clarify some things if they don't end up coming off as you intended. I mean, that's what friends are for, right?
