Buson's original plans: borrow a boat to sail to Chichi Island and explore it with Bashou also get the Midnight Bloom and see if it helps Bashou, but maybe don't tell him why in case it's just a legend, so he won't laugh.
Buson's current plans: ask if Bashou's okay with Evie coming along or if he should just have separate adventures with them.

The funny part is I never thought I'd want to do anything with the mystery dungeons until I had to look up all the other islands because of Buson/Attila's new job sailing around and realized oh. this is fitting...

Forever at your service!! He loves Bashou, okay. He wants him to be happy. Seeing that he can be happy and at ease here just makes him want to try even harder to carve a haven out of this place for him. ;3; I guess Buson's love language is effectively "acts of service."

Okay, quality time and physical affection comes most naturally to him, but he can't exactly do the latter with Bashou much, he has to be more careful, so instead, he just tries to provide Bashou with whatever he can!

Noticed you had this problem, here, I'll fix it for you; noticed you can't stand this place, let's get you somewhere else (or take your mind off it, if that's not an option); he genuinely enjoys seeing Bashou happy and at ease and knowing he played some part in that. It just genuinely makes him happy! Everything's worth it to see him relaxed and happy.

He gave the Hero Boy lookalike a hug, admittedly it was half to muffle all the crying that was getting them stared at, and half to guide him out of there to talk not in a packed restaurant, but even if it was mostly that, he was still also trying [kinda badly] to comfort the kid, PFFT.

Because he's now kind of where Buson was without Bashou earlier.
Manzana also got a hug...
He's just gotta be more creative with Bashou. o/

bashou alright, hold off replying as it'll be Evie's player's turn next. ^^ Then, you can reply with Bashou, then I'll reply with Buson! And so on. o/

I know you're fine with her being there OOC-ly, Bashou can take his time deciding if he wants the talking Pokemon around with them or not IC, fff.

They're fairly common in dwrp, it's a lot of fun! I've done them quite a few times (but mostly in games, they're not common at all in memes and such), it's just best/easiest when folks are all online around the same time, aha.

;___; Buson would be scared to hug Bashou! He wouldn't wanna scare him, but maybe if he did try to do something less like hold a wrist or hand or something, if Bashou himself moved closer after that instead of freezing or flinching, then, he'd possibly consider it, otherwise, it's just too risky in his mind.

But that would be very, very, very sweet if it could happen in the future! He'd probably be both very happy yet very nervous ("You sure you're okay with this?" etc.) and even ask him to make sure he isn't bothering him or anything, just to be sure. ^^;;

I guess we'll just see what comes naturally! Maybe, eventually, someday. ;3;
(Mine's an affectionate lug, he'll play-fight as easily as he would hug someone.)

Befriending and now travelling with the Eevee that kicked his behind and later stood up for him, truly, a manly way to make a friend. No, but seriously, it'd be hilarious if all of this just clicks for Bashou.

Yes, I'm rereading old threads, shhhh.
