A small bead of imaginary sweat rolled down Dylan’s face, skin prickling slightly as he realized he hadn’t played that off well. At all. The good news was they didn’t seem as concerned as they had been. The counterpart, unluckily, was a bit of suspicion in their voices and words. Though, as he listened, his small bit of anxiety began to fade away, replaced by simple curiosity. Devon… didn’t remember having a tail? He was pretty sure that didn’t fall under the realm of amnesia. That could mean that he was similar as well!

Celty’s words only echoed what was going on in Dylan’s active mind. This certainly was no coincidence. Another good point was brought up by the Mawile, about how they might have known each other before, or met somehow but now forgot. 

Dylan took the last bite of his apple, using the time chewing to think of what to say next. As he did so, Zaru chimed in to answer the Mawile’s last statement. Join this guild…? That certainly was an option he supposed. Better than wandering around without a place to stay. And the locals seemed friendly enough. 

However, he pushed that aside as he gulped the last of the sweet fruit down, returning to the point at hand. Dylan glanced around the room briefly, seeing Zaru had started talking to a Kricketot and Gligar, presumably there for the morning meeting mentioned moments ago. Even so, the Mudkip couldn’t help but lower his voice a bit, cautious of his next words. [color=0072bc]“Well, um… Devon, this might sound a bit crazy, but your body felt odd, right? Is it possible you…”[/color] He paused, having to take a deep breath before continuing, [color=0072bc]“You weren’t always-”[/color]

Dylan’s words were cut off as his heart nearly leapt out of his chest, the Lucario’s appearance behind them catching him horribly off guard. He had been too engrossed in his serious question to notice the approaching guild leader, or even the fact that the morning meeting must have concluded. His mind was still reeling from the sucker punch as Celty answered Spirit’s question, trying its best to recover. Luckily for him, the Mawile’s response allowed him to recover enough to put on a straight face and answer himself.

[color=0072bc]“A-ah, nice to meet you as well Spirit sir! I’m Dylan,”[/color] The Mudkip chimed in, pausing before continuing. [color=0072bc]“I actually was curious, Zaru mentioned this before, but would it be possible to join this guild? J-just theoretically of course, I don’t want to push anything sudden on you…”[/color] 

As he trailed off, Dylan snuck a glance over to Devon, the question of what the Totodile would do on his mind. Not only that, but he needed to finish his question to the Totodile, to make sure it was safe to not sound crazy. Or, well, at least, insane. It was a crazy situation no matter how one looked at it.
