Welcome back to the Xenoblade Heart to Hearts series! Last time, we finally met up with lovable goofball Reyn. Spyro had his first conversation with the group's tank, and now it's Cynder's turn. So how does the Terror of the Skies react to Reyn? Read on to discover...
Heart to Heart 13: A Bunch of Jokers
Participants: Cynder and Reyn
Location: Military District
Affinity: Lavender
Introduction
Reyn: Hey Cynder?
Cynder: (Seemingly exiting a trance) What is it, Reyn?
Reyn: You want to hear a joke?
Cynder: A joke?
Pass/Pass
Reyn: Well, you just seemed pretty down, so I figured I'd try to help.
Cynder: So you think that humor may help me out of whatever funk I may or may not be in?
Reyn: It seems to work on everyone else.
Cynder: (Thinks about it a few minutes) You know, I could probably use a laugh. Go for it.
Reyn: Really?
Cynder: Sure, why not?
Reyn: Here goes nothing. What's the one thing that can put out the cinders of a fire?
Cynder: (Realizing it's sort of a pun) I don't know. What?
Reyn: A good Reyn-storm!
Cynder: (Waiting for a few seconds, then starting to chuckle) That was... actually kind of good.
Reyn: You really think so?
Cynder: Sure it was a bit of low hanging fruit, being a simple name pun, but the delivery was pretty good. Surprisingly, that's sort of what I needed today.
Reyn: Hey, glad I could provide a little levity!

Pass/Fail
Reyn: Well, you just seemed pretty down, so I figured I'd try to help.
Cynder: So you think that humor may help me out of whatever funk I may or may not be in?
Reyn: It seems to work on everyone else.
Cynder: (Thinks about it a few minutes) You know, I could probably use a laugh. Go for it.
Reyn: Really?
Cynder: Sure, why not?
Reyn: Here goes nothing. Two Homs walk into a bar, the third guy ducks.
Cynder: (Bewildered) That's it?
Reyn: I just overheard it in the barracks, I don't really get it.
Cynder: (Not exactly relieved) Well that was... interesting. Why tell a joke if you don't get it?
Reyn: So... did it help?
Cynder: The joke? Not really. The idea that someone wanted to try and make me feel a little better? That did slightly. Maybe don't quit your day job to become a comedian though.
Reyn: Probably a good idea.

Fail/Pass
Reyn: I just figured I don't think I've ever seen you smile, so I might as well attempt it.
Cynder: Well, that's just untrue. Spyro's seen my smile plenty of times.
Reyn: Well, nobody I really know has. So, can I at least try?
Cynder: (Thinking about it) Maybe some other time. I'm... not exactly in the mood.
Reyn: Well, can I ask why?
Cynder: You can ask, but that doesn't mean I'll answer.
Reyn: I really want to know, but I shouldn't push it. And that's all I need to know to stop.
Cynder: (Realizing he's giving it up) Thanks, Reyn. Maybe I'll be ready to talk to them one day.

Cynder: You can ask, but that doesn't mean I'll answer.
Reyn: Okay. Why are you so unhappy?
Cynder: Just like I said, don't expect an answer. Any time soon that is.
Reyn: But everyone wants to know!
Cynder: Just give me time, Reyn.
Reyn: Okay.
