with knowledge comes great responsibility

[What an absolute ordeal all of that was.

Today was certainly one hell of a day, that's for sure; they've managed to take care of another Guardian and gain it's trust (or at the very least, something resembling it), they managed to find Candice and manage to...well, maybe not get her back in a state that's altogether wanted, but ensure they managed to get her at least into a place where she could possibly regain herself. It will likely be a process, as such things are, but they've done their best, and they should have no regrets.

The center is definitely going to be a welcome reprieve for all of their suffering, at the very least. The Kompot is certainly more than enough to likely get everyone warmed back up and in a stable condition, along with the copious amount of blankets the locals have provided. They've got the time to rest and get ready for their next adventure.

Rest well, ye merry band of travelers. You've earned it.]

Apparently Flora's a better diplomat than I am. I'm proud'a her.

[bloodspent]

Yeah, you should be. She was doing real good.

[semistableman]

I kinda wish I could've understood all of 'em.

[....]

Well, I can take a guess at what the angry one was saying, but being able to understand them would be useful.

[bloodspent]

Yeah, that's true.

[...]

I wonder if anyone in this world can.

[semistableman]

That's a good question. Maybe there's a way to find out?

[bloodspent]

Maybe? Saturn made it sound like he could talk to his, but I don't know if he was being literal or if he talks to his Pokémon like we talk to ours. Like you understand Flora, sort of, you just don't have an actual translation.

[semistableman]

I figure it's probably the latter.

[Saturn was kind of a huge mess.]

[bloodspent]

Likewise, but for all we know it's a pretty common ability around here.

[semistableman]

Maybe it is. I don't know if we have anyone who would really be able to tell us that, though. I don't think we're going to be getting straight answers from people anytime soon, not unless we happen to run into someone more like Cynthia than Galactic's leaders.

[bloodspent]

[...]

Well, I guess if we see Cynthia again we can ask her. I don't trust her for shit, but I don't see why she'd lie about it or anything.

[semistableman]

Probably as good a question as any to ask her. It's benign enough she'd probably answer it.

[Bucky sure wants to trust her, but she also ran off nearly two months ago and hasn't decided to drop by since.]
