    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    "Right, see you. Though we'll get Sword back, since she's our friend too. I promise!" Cabot stared silently as Shield continued to exit the room, and turned his attention back to his drink when the Lucario had left completely. While it made sense not to take everything at face value, it didn't...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Cabot opened his mouth to speak, only to catch himself and pause. "I..." He fumbled for words for a moment. On the one hand, it shouldn't matter if Diyem had succeeded or not, right? What he did was just as awful either way, and it wouldn't make sense to give it more of a pass just because...

    "I'll keep that in mind, but I'm sure I'll be fine," Cabot replied as he frowned back. "I know what Diyem tried to do in the past, and the first thing I asked when he told me that he was Dark Matter was why he did it and how he could possibly have thought that was a good thing to do. He...

    "Because I've actually spent time with Diyem and gotten to know him?" Cabot answered, crossing his arms. "Because he's my friend?"

    "How do you know that for sure?" Cabot questioned, raising a brow. "You've never even met Diyem, and he is really nice once you get to know him."

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Cabot frowned at Shield's answer, but decided not to press things. That said, there was still a part he was curious about... "What's the thing that didn't settle right with you?" he asked, tilting his head.

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    "Eh..." Cabot blinked and stared at Shield blankly for a moment. Was he even still talking about how the rest of the guild treated him? While it was true that they had been pitted against each other (or at least, in a certain way), it didn't change Shield's current situation, how others here...

    "I did say that, but you also have to be reasonable about it," Cabot remarked. "Remember that the guild considers you a captured outlaw. I don't know how things worked in your world, but in mine these sorts of things usually take months, if not longer. And that's for 'mons who did things like...

    "I mean, you gotta give it more time than that," Cabot sighed. "I know that this isn't easy, but a week really isn't that much time. Remember that you did try to kill us, Shield." "Look at it this way," he began, "what if we had tried to kill Sword because we thought she was evil? And that the...

    "Yeah, that must be pretty awful I imagine..." Cabot murmured. He looked down and fidgeted with his claws a moment, before looking back at Shield. "But, things don't have to stay that way for you. Maybe you can't change anything about what happened to your world, but you can still help save this...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    "Oh... I'm sorry to hear that." Cabot sat down as he gave Shield a look of sympathy. He supposed it made sense. Back home captured pirates weren't exactly treated very kindly by most Pokémon they interacted with, and Shield was technically considered an outlaw by the guild. "I guess it must be...

    "Shouldn't you be helping then?" Cabot asked. "I mean, your room's not gonna be cleaned up any faster by lying here on the floor."

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    "Oh..." Cabot shifted a bit uneasily before speaking up again. "And the Guild didn't give you a different room? Or helped clean up or repair your current one?"

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Cabot cheerfully hummed to himself as he entered the dorm lounge. After his battle with Meringue he wanted to get something to drink and relax a little, especially since he and Pleo were gonna help Maple scout the Isle of Light later in the day. When he noticed Shield laying on the floor in the...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Cabot looked surprised a moment that Icetales had enough strength in his tails to lift his mug with one, before shaking his head and giving back a large grin as he raised his own mug. "Well, I'll definitely drink to that!" he said, wagging his tail wagging slightly. "Cheers!"

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Cabot looked on in surprise with his mouth agape as Icetales glowed and his form began to change. As soon as Icetales finished his evolution, Cabot gave him a cheery smile. "Icetales, you evolved! Congratulations!" Part of him felt a little envious due to still being a Cranidos, but he...

    "Yeah, I just randomly woke up outside of Veritas City one day. That's where I met Owen and Diyem for the first time, and played truth or dare with them," Cabot began. "When I returned home I didn't remember any of it, but the second time I got to Veritas it was like I had never forgotten. I...

    Cabot smiled. "Well, I can definitely relate to a dream like that! Of course I wanted to explore other islands instead of stars, but it's still pretty similar. I guess both our dreams came true by getting the chance to visit another world." "And at least this won't fade away completely," he...

    Cabot gave Icetales a look of sympathy. "Hey, it's okay. I guess that's not an easy question if you've never really thought about.." he murmured. He paused in thought a moment. "Well, what are some things you like to do for fun? Or are there maybe any things back home you've always wanted to...

    Cabot nodded back. "You're right. I know they reacted like that because they were worried about me and wanted to keep me safe, and looking back at it maybe the reason I signed up was a little bit childish..." He pawed at the back of his neck. "But, we talked about it the next day, and in the end...
