Heart to Heart 27: Seasons of the Heart

Participants: Sharla and Cynder

Location: Outside Refugee Camp

Affinity: Pink

Introduction

Sharla: Cynder?

Cynder: (Not having heard Sharla) I can't bear this uncertainty...

Sharla: Please tell me you're not about to do something desperate.

Cynder: (Having suddenly heard Sharla) What the...?! (Seeing Sharla) Sharla, don't sneak up on me like that!

Sharla: Just trying to figure out what you're doing out here. And what uncertainty you can't bear.

Cynder: It's a long story, Sharla.

Pass/Pass

Sharla: It's about Spyro isn't it?

Cynder: (Realizing she can't hide anything from Sharla) What gave it away?

Sharla: The only uncertain thing I can think of, aside from our mission to stop the Mechon, is your relationship with Spyro.

Cynder: It's that obvious, isn't it?

Sharla: I've seen the way you look at him. The way you have to subconsciously remind yourself to focus on the task rather than on him. The intense worry whenever he comes back injured from a battle.

Cynder: You sound like your speaking from experience.

Sharla: I am. It's exactly the same way I felt about Gadolt.

Cynder: Really?

Sharla: Yeah.

Cynder: Then perhaps you might have some advice about telling the one you love about how you feel.

Sharla: Well... there's really not much I can give to you there.

Cynder: Huh?

Sharla: It's really not something you can rush. You just know when the moment is right.

Cynder: That's it?

Sharla: Trust me, you'll know when the time is right.

Pass/Fail

Sharla: It's about Spyro isn't it?

Cynder: (Realizing she can't hide anything from Sharla) What gave it away?

Sharla: The only uncertain thing I can think of, aside from our mission to stop the Mechon, is your relationship with Spyro.

Cynder: It's that obvious, isn't it?

Sharla: No offense, but yeah.

Cynder: (Sighs) I should've figured that.

Sharla: To be honest, it was nostalgic for me. I was kind of the same way with Gadolt when we were younger.

Cynder: Really?

Sharla: Yeah. And from experience, I can tell you this isn't something you can rush into.

Cynder: Meaning?

Sharla: You're going to have to bear with some degree of uncertainty in these kinds of relationships.

Cynder: So this isn't going to let my blood pressure rest any time soon?

Sharla: Well, worrying about it won't help you.

Cynder: (Sighs) Thanks, Sharla.

Fail/Pass

Sharla: Please tell me this isn't some suicide thing.

Cynder: What? No. That's not what's happening here. (Under her breath) At least not this time.

Sharla: (Having partially heard that) What?

Cynder: (Realizing she heard that) Nothing.

Sharla: If it's not a suicide thing, it's got to be about Spyro.

Cynder: How'd you piece that together?

Sharla: Those're the only two things you sort of abandon the group to mope about.

Cynder: I'm not moping.

Sharla: Either way, I've got advice if you want to hear it.

Cynder: I'm not sure I do. That being?

Sharla: If you're worried about when to tell him, just trust me, you'll know when the moment is right.

Cynder: Well that doesn't help my blood pressure any. Thanks, I think.

Fail/Fail

Sharla: Please tell me this isn't some suicide thing.

Cynder: What? No. That's not what's happening here. (Under her breath) At least not this time.

Sharla: (Having partially heard that) What?

Cynder: (Realizing she heard that) Nothing.

Sharla: Okay, Cynder, I'm just going to say it, I don't buy that for a second.

Cynder: Well, it's true. I'm not here contemplating suicide. On the contrary, I'm trying to think of a joyful thing for once.

Sharla: That being?

Cynder: I'm just trying to figure out how to tell Spyro how I feel about him.

Sharla: Oh, that's what this is about!

Cynder: About time you put it together

Sharla: You're looking for the right time? Or the right way?

Cynder: I'm not sure at this point.

Sharla: Well, my answer's the same for both. I learned this the hard way with Gadolt. Just know this, you'll know when the right moment arrives.

Cynder: That's it?

Sharla: That's it.

Cynder: Not very helpful. Thanks.
