Need to talk privately with Cilan? Send him a message via the crystal or carrier pigeon? Want to meet with him without posting a log for it? Here's the place to do it!
Ah, I see. [...] Well then, I apologize for not saying something sooner: two months ago, Trip left this place and has since resumed his journey in Unova, or so I presume.
[Cilan has no way of knowing what Trip is up to now, but as long as Trip is back home, then that's what's important...]
We are close, yes, but... as a friend, I believe that this is a good thing.
[He's smiling, but there's a slight chill in the air to accompany it, feeling clearly conflicted on this matter...]
This melancholy flavor certainly has a bittersweet taste to it, but it's to be expected when one has to deal with a friend's departure. I'll miss him, and regret that I wasn't able to at least say goodbye before he left, but at the same time, I'm also happy that he's now free to continue his journey back home, rather than being forced to continue lingering at this station.
[And Trip was definitely not having a great time in this place, given past events that have occurred here, so really, it's for the best, isn't it?]
I guess...it isn't a big deal. It's good he's gone back home just like you said. And if you're really okay about it, then that's all that really matters. You don't have to act any other way.
But-- he left, and you're still here. I remember how you was thinking about Ash before. [ ... ] You and Trip were living together too.
[ Had they before Trip left? What had Cilan been doing since? Just continuing on like they all would have to do no matter what occurred? ]
I just want to know you're fine no matter what. That's all.
[ ...which is all touching and all, but Pansage this is Team Jolteon on ground, do you see something weird and glowy over in that direction-- ]
[Red, the more you have to say about this, the more cold and damp the air starts to feel here...]
Yes, I know, and I really do appreciate the concern, but--hm?
[This is Team Pansage, reporting from the treetops to confirm that yes, there does appear to be something weird and glowy over where you were looking Jolteon, so now the Pokemon is waving a paw at the trainers below to get their attention.]
Oh, it looks like the Pokemon spotted something. [Our conversation can totally be paused until we go see what that's about, right?]
[ It totally can. Jolteon's moving briskly in to get a view of the specks up in the air, a dance of colours that remind him of something but he can't just place. ]
What is it? [ Jolteon will tell you what it is--it's everywhere, ugggh. Even higher than the small pokémon realises, his feet backing away but he's then shaking his head, sneezing out and whining. It got in his eyeees...! ]
[Oh dear, is Jolteon okay? Cilan signals for Pansage to stay put from where it's in the trees as he risks taking a step closer, hand over his nose and mouth for a moment as he uses the other hand to touch the air, feeling the substance between his fingers.]
It appears to be a powder of some kind... spores from a plant or something else nearby? [Takes a step back away from it, starts to lower his hand back down from his face for a second so that he can be heard a little more clearly...] We'd best be cautious about this taste until we know for sure whether or not it's sa--
[And then Cilan suddenly sneezes too because uh, oops, he might have inhaled some of it by accident just now too, good job buddy.]
no subject
[ ...sorry, we're going back to that point there, because uh. Guess who never checks for departures ever. ]
How long ago did he leave? Weren't the two of you close?
no subject
[...]
Did you really not know that he wasn't here anymore until just now?
[Because if so then gosh, we probably should of said something about it sooner rather than... just assuming that everyone knows by now.]
no subject
We didn't really talk...I just figured he was doing whatever. [ Like, living his life. ]

no subject
You don't have to be sorry. It's just... I thought the two of you were close, so...
[ ... ] You've been okay?
