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!
I'm going to have to turn you down on that offer of distancing ourselves: I hate losing, you see, and I would think that severing our companionship would be considered a win for her, in that regard. She's already tried before to cause several of us to taste despair here, and I refuse to let this be what entices me to consider the validity of this flavor for even a second.
['Cause, uh... the truth is, Cilan's actually familiar with Junko enough to know what she's like. In fact, back when he was possessed... actually no, that's a story for another time, maybe--]
If you're about my safety, I promise that you don't have to be: my Pokemon and I are strong enough to withstand any opponent that threatens our happiness, as well as protect those that we care for... and that includes you. If Miss Junko ever tries to bring harm to you, I'll do everything within my power to prevent that from happening!
[Sonia can't help the watery smile that cuts through her pain. Although, she hates that Junko has tried to hurt someone so kind and good like Cilan. It's not the first time for her former friend, but it angers Sonia anyway.
But she's not sure that he understands exactly what he's saying just then. Though, she can't help the speeding of her heartbeat, which sounds like low-key, tinkling charms.]
You would stand up for me? And protect me from Enoshima-san and others? You would be my champion?
Then, I suppose I should give you a token of my favor.
[And before she can overthink things, she leans over and kisses his cheek.]
[For a moment, Cilan's face actually turns red and... oh god, why are our usual shoujo sparkles and bubbles when nice things happen shaped like hearts now--]
[And so, he tries to discreetly will them away or at least make them change shape to what they normally look like when Sonia steps back from him, though his face is still pink and no amount of bright happy smiling can hide that.]
Ah, you didn't have to do that, Sonia! I would have been more than happy to look out for you regardless...
[We're so calm, isn't it amazing how calm we are about this right now??]
[Sonia's appreciative sparkles are everywhere. They are large and bright? And are her eyes shaped like sparkles too? Yes, they might just be. She's wearing an extremely pleased smile on her own blushing face and the air is full of good, warm feelings that are probably obviously affection and admiration.]
But I wanted to, Cilan-san. You have offered to champion for me against my enemies. That makes you my knight. And it is both my duty and my pleasure to show you my favor. There is no one else that I can think of that I would rather have do that for me.
"why are they so cute", I ask myself for the millionth time...
I see... [And now, Cilan actually does feel as calm as he was pretending to be at hearing Sonia say that, though that doesn't stop his own sparkles from being bright and appreciative.
And despite the blush, he manages a pleased, affectionate smile of his own.]
In that case, I consider it an honor to receive your favor, and I shall do my absolute best to be a proper knight for you, my dear princess.
[... Is it okay for him to say that? That's not too embarrassing, is it? Should he come up with a different title for her??]

I think a better question to ask is "How are they so cute?"
[She is so happy right now that she's sure she will burst from it, and the pounding of her heart actually sounds like the tinkling of glass, audible for probably everyone in about ten kilometers to hear.
His declaration gets a startled, pleased laugh out of her.]
You don't have to do anything differently, Cilan-san. [She reaches over to take one of his hands.] You've been wonderful already.
[Despite her tears making her look a little blotchy, she hasn't felt so relieved and happy for a while. She squeezes his hand.]
I will keep you in mind should I require anything, Cilan-san. That is part of naming a champion, after all. However, I ask that you do the same. If there is anything that you need help with, I am at your disposal.

Huh?

it's a mystery
[... There's something he kind of wants to do here, but for now, he allows Sonia to take his hand, and places his other hand over-top of hers.]
If there's anything you need of us, please don't hesitate to ask, okay?
But is it a Poké mystery?
