When Serenity started Trystan removed his hand only to be met by her sweet smile. Returning it with his own he nodded to her words. "I suppose so, but still if were gonna make it through this we gotta stay focused." He said matter of factly patting her back assuringly. He then followed her gaze over the rest of the crowd and he shared her concerns.

As he watched on the happenings about the crowd he couldn't help but damn the government and their damned war. Sure recruiting kids like him and Serenity might make a difference, but Trystan just couldn't see the potential in the others. Well maybe a couple, and he wanted to be hopeful for the rest, but Serenity made a good point.

"Rough no doubt. I feel ya, but like I said we gotta stay focused and a positive outlook just might help. Sure things look grim, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't trust others. We're all this town has. That practically makes us family. Sure a bit dysfuctional for now, but I'm sure it'll get better. We gotta believe it will." He said trying to keep Serenity positive. If they were going to have an eye out for each other their vision needed to be clear and one in the same.

Trystan knew most if not all the others personally more or less. He had either seen them around town while on one of his odd jobs or done a job for their folks or even done a job for someone else that involved them in some way like deliveries. He could trust them as far as he could throw them, but he certainly hoped for more for most of them. 

Serenity shook him from his thoughts asking about his pokemon. "Oh yeah, they're itching to go. Eager little buggers. Could barely keep them still for breakfast. I'll be fine. I've hauled more than this from one side of town to the other perfectly fine on my own. Speaking of Ponyta how she and your Charmander getting along?" He asked as he adjusted his pack and rifle to show he was perfectly capable of carrying them on his own.
