[Whelp. She had hoped for a more formal way to end his diet. But this was fun to watch too...maybe...ok now this is just getting pathetic. Stop licking the floor Gaius, you're being pathetic.

Setting herself down on a rather huge marshmallow, since that should count as her "taking it easy", she just watches him.]

Congrats, I guess.

[willwork4sugar]

[Hey, he's not licking the floor! He's tasting it from his hand, there's a difference!

Dusting off his hands, Gaius gets to his feet, flashing Cynthia a grin. Oh yeah, he'll take that congratulations. And whatever he can feasibly pack up from this island.]

[anelegantmyth]

It's good to see you all smiley again. That's one less person suffering on our boat.

[ She takes a piece from her marshmallow chair to taste, and good golly that's one good mallow. So out of the kindness of her heart, she takes another piece, bends down to smear it on the chocolate dirt then offers it to him. ]

Sooooo hows about you and me explore this place? And please, for the love of arceus, don't ask me to head back to bed and rest.

[willwork4sugar]

It was only harder when I knew we were finally getting close.

[He glances over at her, happily taking the marshmallow coated in cocoa. It disappears rather quickly into his mouth. Mff. Foh guf.]

Well.... It'd be a shame to miss out. I'll just be keeping an eye on you though. One wince and I'll carry you back- I mean it.

[anelegantmyth]

Oh come on, I'm a big girl. I can handle a little pain.

[She gets off the marshmallow and looks around. Quickly spotting a...cotton candy tree? Is that seriously a cotton candy tree? Good lord it is! Ok, she'll go ahead and pick off a small branch.]

[willwork4sugar]

Says the person that was making a fuss about it a couple of weeks ago.

[He turns to follow after her, eying the puffy pink tree because oh wow does that smell tasty.]

[anelegantmyth]

Oh I'm sorry, who was it that took care of you when you turned into a child?

[She offers him some of her cotton candy. Some, not all.]

[willwork4sugar]

The same one that was hiding under a blanket when I told her to rest.

[Taking some of that cotton candy. Interesting texture...but OH SUGAR.]

[anelegantmyth]

Well gee daddy, a thank you would have been nice. Since none of you boys bothered to give me one.

[ Judging by what she was immediately seeing, there's some sort of chocolate waterfall, a hill that was either made of cake or ice cream or both, some more candy filled trees and a stone path made of...is that rock candy? This place is amazing! Arceus knows what else they could find here. ]

So, where should be begin?

[willwork4sugar]

[He doesn't roll his eyes- he's too busy staring ahead at all the things. His question's about the same as Cynthia's.]

...I have no idea. Close your eyes and pick, I don't think we can lose here.

[anelegantmyth]

[ And she might as well take that literally. The champion closes her eyes, makes one spin and points at whatever direction she lands on. Opening her eyes, she sees that chocolate waterfall. ]

Okay then, let's start there.

[willwork4sugar]

[Not that Gaius has any problems with it. Frankly, that would have been the method he'd have used.]

All right then!

[anelegantmyth]

[ She took his arm and let him take the lead. After all, this was his adventure into the wonderful world of diabetes, and after what she put him through the last month, she won't even react to whatever weird thing he plans on doing while they walked there.

Though she does notice the very realistic looking rocks covering the pathway. If everything on this island was candy... ]

I wonder...

[ She holds her side, slowly bending down to pick up a pebble and pop it into her mouth. If she was right, there should be chocolate inside it. If not, then her injury's going to hurt a whole lot more than it normally does. ]

[willwork4sugar]

[Normally he'd wonder about anyone's thoughts to stop and sample rocks. He trusts his nose, however, even if his eyes don't find anything very tasty about it.]

What's it taste like?

[anelegantmyth]

[Says the guy who ate the dirt. But her eyes do light up after swallowing the stone.]

Oh goodness! These are river stones!

[ For the first few seconds, she picks up a handful of little pebbles and starts eating them one by one. Of course, that was until he asked his question. Which she responds to by taking a stone, biting it in half, an showing him the chocolate core. ]

I used to eat these a lot when I was a little girl. But I didn't expect to see them here of all places. You should try one! They're sooo good.

[willwork4sugar]

River stones..?

[Because that doesn't sound tasty, and it's a really strange name for candy.

Gaius arches a brow, but he stoops down to pick one of the pebbles up, sniffing at it before licking it, and then finally biting into it.]

Mmmm....

[anelegantmyth]

Good right? My grandmother used to buy me bags of these when I was a little girl. Then I'd use it to freak out her research assistant by making them believe I was eating real stones.

Speaking of bags of candy, did you find the ones I left for you back on the ship?

[willwork4sugar]

I've never seen stuff like this before. Wonder what else I'm missing out on.

[He pops another into his mouth after he finishes the first one.]

...hm? The chocolate coin ones or are we talking something else?

[anelegantmyth]

Well, I'm almost positive you've never tried a poffins. They're these little sweet cakes made out of different kinds of berries. Usually made for pokemon, but humans could have them too.

[ She probably should mention that she only eats those things when she's stuck in the wilderness and has nothing else to eat, right?...Nah.
Cynthia pockets a few more stones for later, then takes his arm again. ]

Oh no not the coins. I found some sweet heart trees and picked some for you and the boys.

[ Which probably counts as over exerting herself? Whoops. ]

[willwork4sugar]

[If it's sweet and edible, then Gaius won't care about the circumstances so long as it tastes good.

Gaius picks up a few more of the rock-like candies, dropping them into a pouch. He quirks a brow at Cynthia then.]

Sweet heart trees? ...and when did you go and do that, huh?

[anelegantmyth]

Secret~

[She bops his nose lightly before returning her attention to the chocolate waterfall that was coming into view. If there was anything that could cheer her up from her recent shard loss. That was definitely going to be it.]

[willwork4sugar]

[He holds back a sigh, shaking his head as he looks forward, not that the telltale smell of chocolate isn't enough to tell him what to expect.]

I can't believe Twinkles was holding out on me.

[anelegantmyth]

What do you mean?

[willwork4sugar]

Eh, Maribelle said she'd made notes on places here that might be of interest to me, but of course she never bothered to mention anything about there being such an island even back when we were sailing on the same ship!

[anelegantmyth]

Oh...well what ARE your interests? All we ever talk about is the weird things Maribelle tell me about you. It just hit me now that I don't actually know much about you, other than you liking candy and being a thief.

And I didn't know you two were in a crew together.
