Cynthian was smiling at first, then Astrid pulled him into a hug. He found himself wide eyed in a daze as he wondered why she was hugging him. It was... Pleasant. Cynthian was quick to accept it and hug Astrid back. When was the last time he had received a warm embrace like that? He had been...

"I still don't feel like I have gotten all that braver since I got here, but being part of a large cooperative effort like this and making new friends has made me feel better about myself and my capabilities as a fighter. That's one thing I've certainly been grateful for. By the way, there's...

"Maybe? I don't think... I really don't know honestly. After my less than stellar childhood years, I'd already missed out on all the play battles most younglins had. You wouldn't be wrong to assume I had no fighting spirit before being brought to Cibus."

"You're right. Even if I skip a couple steps by going to Sunny's or grabbing a TM, knowing and mastering a move are two separate things." Cynthian's growth spell dissipated and he too went back to sitting on the grass next to Astrid. "Right now I'm mostly trying to master Solar Beam, and also...

"It's a bit confusing... but let me give it a try!" Cynthian mimicked Astrid and held his flowers out towards her with his eyes closed. He tried to focus on Astrid's energy as she'd described. Cynthian could feel a vague presence, but he struggled to form any clear images. After about a...

Cynthian stared at her with a blink then parted his lips slightly. "Oooh, so it's sort of like sapping someone with Giga Drain, but you're not actually weakening them, but mimicking changes in their energy?" Cynthian brought a flower to his chin and hummed. A glint appeared in his eyes and...

"You'll teach me? Sure thing, by all means!" Cynthian said eagerly. "If I can use it too, then I'll be able to help out even more on the battlefield, right?"

"I really do think you're amazing, Astrid," Cynthian said with a chuckle, completely oblivious to Astrid's reaction to his earlier compliment. "You're always good at coordinating during our great battles. Your Psych up and Aurora veil combo are simply incredible, especially with how you power...

"Okay, I can explain," Cynthian said as his face reddened. "I really thought the move wouldn't work and used it only to mess with her. I mean she's the last person you'd expect to have a heart for any preference at all. Though I guess I did get carried away a bit. It was kind of... fun?"...

Cynthian instinctively stiffened when Astrid brushed her tail on his arm, though he was surprised that... it didn't feel cold at all. He felt silly for sitting at a distance now, so he moved just a tad closer out of politeness. "The crisis occurring on this world pales in comparison to what..."...

"Well... Not really." Cynthian tilted his head the other way and pursed his lips. "I only ever signed up as a provisionary explorer. I knew I wouldn't have it in me to become an actual explorer, and being a provisionary one still meant I could come along on botanical expeditions like I always...

"That must've been a fun adventure. I sure wish I was there to witness it. To find ancient pieces of history like that is just phenomenal. What did you do with the treasure trove you found? Did you send them to a museum? Sell them to get rich or did you leave them behind where you found them?"...

"Huh, well it can't be all bad since they're relatively peaceful. Surely no major conflicts I'd hope." Cynthian fell quiet to think for a moment. "So, you're part of an exploration team. Does that mean you live in the Grass Continent of your world too?" Cynthian held his flowers together and...

"You've been here before? Well there here of your world, I mean," Cynthian asked with an intrigued look. He took Astrid up on her offer and sat beside her just distant enough that the chilly air around her wouldn't bother him. "This town is also popularly known as the Rescue Team's base of...

"Heeey, Astrid!" Cynthian waved his black rose as he trotted towards her from down the pathway. He arrived in front of her a minute after and leaned forward to catch his breath. Cynthian straightened his pose and held his back closer as he smiled. "I looked around for you in Treasure Town...

"It's no problem," Cynthian said as he unwound his vibes around her paw. Curio helped bring him back to his senses during his slugging incident. Stopping her from beating Zane senseless paled in comparison.

Cynthian was taken aback by Zane's outburst, but he really shouldn't have been surprised. Zane was a cannibal, a thief, and he spent most of their battles saying abhorrent things to the enemies. All those factors should make Cynthian hate him, but Zane did help out in his own unorthodox ways and...

"Don't let him get you, Curio!" Cynthian said, joining Astrid who was quicker to reach her. He walked up and held Curio's paw with his flower vines, though she could easily yank her paw away if she wanted to. "We shouldn't be fighting each other now. It wouldn't get us anywhere. Looking for...

"Owen is right. Just leave him be, Curio," Cynthian said, finally gaining the courage to speak up thanks to Owen also interjecting. "Brisa and Starr will be fine. I just know they are." Cynthian's eyes were still filled with worry, and he said those words more to himself than to Curio and the...

The mention of those slugs sent a cold shiver down Cynthian's spine, and he subconsciously tensed up. "I never want to go through that again..." He mumbled.
