Welcome back to the Xenoblade Heart to Hearts series! Today, we wrap up our quick journey to the Eryth Sea, as Cynder and Sharla have their next conversation. So let's not waste a minute, here we go!
Heart to Heart 61: Something There
Participants: Cynder and Sharla
Location: Syrath Lighthouse
Affinity: Lavender
Introduction
Cynder: Sharla, good thing I ran into you.
Sharla: Why? What's up, Cynder?
Cynder: Got a question of a sensitive nature, and you're the only one I feel comfortable asking.
Sharla: Is this some puberty thing?
Cynder: What? No.
Sharla: You'll forgive me for being sure. So, ask away.
Cynder: Has Spyro been acting... strange... in your opinion?
Pass/Pass
Sharla: Strange how?
Cynder: Constantly nervous around you, always being there just when you need him, acting like he's trying to impress someone?
Sharla: Not that I've seen.
Cynder: Then it's just me apparently.
Sharla: If it's just around you, I think I may know what's happening.
Cynder: What's your theory?
Sharla: He may be trying to impress you.
Cynder: Me? But why?
Sharla: Maybe he's in love with you? This does sound like something Gadolt might have done while we were dating.
Cynder: In love with me? That couldn't be. We're just friends! (Recalls a recent conversation) Then again, he is always there with a comforting wing and a shoulder to cry on just when I need it.
Sharla: Maybe it's not crazy as it seems?
Cynder: Maybe... I'll have to keep it in mind.

Pass/Fail
Sharla: Strange how?
Cynder: Constantly nervous around you, always being there just when you need him, acting like he's trying to impress someone?
Sharla: Not that I've seen.
Cynder: Then it's just me apparently.
Sharla: Well, it could have happened when I was around and I just didn't notice it. I wouldn't take my words as an outright denial of this pattern's existence.
Cynder: Fair enough. So what do you think is going on?
Sharla: I couldn't say for sure. But you can be sure I'll keep an eye on the situation.
Cynder: Thanks, Sharla.
(Net Affinity: 0)
Fail/Pass
Sharla: I don't think so?
Cynder: Hmm... strange. Because he always seems to be acting strange around me.
Sharla: Just around you?
Cynder: He seems to be even more protective than usual. More willing to go out on a limb than before. I really don't get it. Am I going crazy?
Sharla: I don't think so.
Cynder: Then what is going on here?
Sharla: It seems he really wants to impress you for some reason.
Cynder: If that's the case, he doesn't have to do anything special. Just the fact that he's so kind to me is impressive enough.
Sharla: Seems he doesn't think so, even if why is unclear.
Cynder: Please tell me you'll help me calm him down before he does something stupid.
Sharla: Gladly.

Fail/Fail
Sharla: I don't think so?
Cynder: Hmm... strange. Because he always seems to be acting strange around me.
Sharla: Just around you?
Cynder: He seems to be even more protective than usual. More willing to go out on a limb than before. I really don't get it. Am I going crazy?
Sharla: Really hard to say. I don't really have any data.
Cynder: Sounds like we need to gather information then.
Sharla: Are you suggesting a stakeout?
Cynder: I believe that I am.
Sharla: Sounds like a good girl's night. Melia might be able to give us a hand.
Cynder: Sounds like a good idea.

And that looks like a good spot to wrap up for now, as we bid the Eryth Sea farewell. Next time, we start a brand new location, and one of the last ones since there's only six left on my research list. That doesn't mean there's six total left, just six on the list. So, where are we heading next? Tune in next time to find out! Same time... same channel!
