Celeste grinned, for he couldn't help but find Icetales' mood contagious. "Feel free to be as... undecorous as you please with me. I've never heard the word before, but whatever it is... you've been nothing but a pleasure to spend time with tonight, so it cannot be a problem." "I haven't heard...

Celeste nodded. "Yes. Let us keep supporting each other. We need each other." W-Wait. By 'each other,' had Icetales meant the whole team... or just the two of them? He... had meant the former... But he suspected Icetales had meant the latter... 'We need each other' would probably come across...

"Yes. All the more reason to do our duty here..." He sighed. His mind had successfully been drawn away from thinking about that for a while. "The cosmos here are nice, if nothing else..." Resentment towards Cibus threatened to well up and swallow him. He sided up closer to Icetales for comfort...

"It does feel that way, doesn't it? You move on, but a little piece of you stays behind, in that last moment..." Celeste sighed. "Such is life. It would be all the harder on our mothers if they were the ones who outlived us." Celeste was still. He felt that this was a contemplative moment, and...

"Oh..." Celeste leaned his head into Icetales'. He was silent for a moment as he composed what he wished to say. "My real mother is a Delphox. She was not my mother mother-of-shell... But she raised me. She kept fed, warm and safe. She cared for me when I was ill or dismayed. She helped to...

Celeste sniffled. "I-I know you won't. You, of all people, wouldn't..." A sigh escaped his mouth. He wasn't sure wether or not he liked talking about this with Icetales. It was harder than talking about it with Nip, in a way, but also more gratifying. "It was more of an issue when I was...

"A-Absol culture? I... I don't know. I'm the only tamed absol I've ever known... at least before meeting the one on Bone's team." He knew Icetales didn't agree with the bloodline philosophy he'd spoken of, but he still couldn't help but feel nervous. It was if if it didn't matter wether...

So Astrid was the ordinary permutation, and Icetales' coat was the odd one. He'd thought Icetales' was nicer... However, now knowing its origins, it felt stained. "It's a bloodline purity thing? That... is a high price to pay for an elegant coat of fur. Though I'll admit the blacks and silvers...

"My favourite story..." Celeste paused to think for a moment. "It's hard to pick just one favourite. Perhaps the story of the first one to meet Ho-Oh in the flesh, and the one who build the shrine in which I live. Unlike all the Vulpixes and Ninetales I've seen here, they were a fire type with a...

Celeste laughed. "I wonder. Salac needs someone to get her out of her shell a little. Though in all honesty, she'd have said the same of me... As far as myself back home was concerned, she's right. I suppose I've just been brought out of my shell by my friends here." The shimmering of Icetales'...

Celeste pressed his paw to his forehead. “Don’t get me started on Pop. What an ordeal it is to listen to them speak. No wonder this world keeps having crisis after crisis.” Celeste nodded. "I suppose so. I haven't needed it for anything more than communicating, either. Still, the amount of...

"Ah. I won't bother you on the subject any longer, then. I wouldn't know anything of 'Noblesse Oblige' anyways." Celeste was worried he'd killed the mood, and made everything tense again. As if they need any more tension in their lives... He readily accepted the subject change. "They compare...

Celeste almost choked on his tea. "You had nine older siblings! Gosh, I think one was enough for me. Your mother must've been busy." He took a moment to regain his composure before continuing. "I mean. I am sorry to hear about the state of your family. You deserve better. In any case, I'm glad...

Celeste nodded and accepted the tea, taking a sip. It felt warm in his stomach. "Home was quiet for me. My egg was taken in by a delphox. My mother. She had a daughter already, so I have and older sister. Her name is Salac." He stared at the surface of the tea. "Our village was built for its...

Celeste had never really seen much of Icetales' eyes as a vulpix. As Icetales looked into his eyes, he couldn't help but notice how brilliant they were. It was like the entirety of the whites were sapphire instead. He suddenly felt self-conscious about his eyes. He hoped the contact lenses were...

Celeste's eyes lit up. "Icetales! It's been too long. Last we spent time together was... What, the party? You were still a vulpix back then..." He laughed half-heartedly. "Life here has been quite the tempest since then, has it not? We've just been going and going, with barely the time to catch...

The winds on the beach were slower than their usual speed, having dropped to a mournful whistling, as if even the air itself was feeling the bitterness of the team's situation. With less wind to stir them up, the waves that usually crashed against the grey sands had relaxed to lapping gently...
