"Must have left a hell of an impression!" Temp barked out a laugh. It wasn't mocking, just jovial. Rowan Wrynn might have been embarrassed by the details of his relationship but who was he to judge?

"It was a recruitment thing for Rocket. They crammed all us Grunts into this little room before pairing us up when Cadis took over. I was fresh meat and didn't know any better, so I had the bright idea to flirt with the sad looking guy smoking by the window." Even now, it's a bit fond, thinking back on it. Cillian Quinn had come a hell of a long way from the tired guy he had been back then.

"I think he, like, hated me or something for a long time. We got put together on a lot of missions under the red headed guy who was, like, really mean. Over time I grew on him like a rash, I think. He was by bro!"

"Cadis used to run things before Walsh took over. The guy got sick or something? I never heard too many details on it." Temp might have been a member of Rocket for a while, but other than being put through hell by that redhead guy, he had never been as 'active' as other people. His duties were pretty basic, bottom of the totem pole stuff. It was only recently when he had earned a Gym position did he stir up any waves or interest; being a mole for Rocket was more useful than being dumb muscle or helping the other Grunts learn to fight.

It was a peculiar situation that Rowan Wrynn was in. Did Temp have any advice....?

"Hmm... Well, Gavvie is a huge nerd. He tries to act all tough and scary and like some type of bad-ass, but he's a big softie deep down. I think that Kanto fucked him up pretty bad so he tries to put on this whole, like... I dunno, but you've seen it, dude! But he eats fruit cut into cute shapes, at home he's always got at least two dogs in his lap, and he likes dumb pranks more than he acts like he does. Get him talking about fossils, dude! He's just a huge dork and would get really excited."

It's a bit of gushing but Temp thought hat anything Cillian Quinn did was cute. He loved him for the good parts and accepted the bad- even if Gavin not taking care of himself really frustrated Temp sometimes.

"Marriage?" A surprised, pink flush built up on Temp's face. It was quick to fade, though, as he really thought it over....

"I don't think we've been dating long enough for that, dude..... buuuut.... I think I would like it, someday." A pleased grin settled on his face, at the idea of it. Temp didn't imagine what Rowan probably did, though... "My people, out in Pacifidlog, we don't have, like.... well, we don't get married like main-landers do. We have this ceremony that means kind of the same thing, but like..." The flush came back as he thought about it, but he cut himself off, scratching the back of his neck. People usually thought he was weird when he talked about his traditions.

Even if Rowan Wrynn had been teasing, if this was a video game Rowan still would have seen a red minus sign over his head.

"Um... dude, that's kind of racist." Temp said, frowning some now, calling out this DEGENERATE.

Temp shifted to check out the case they'd been staking, trying to see if there had been any movement yet.

"So, is it true that people in Galar don't brush their teeth or wash their asses? And you're all kissing cousins?"

He tilted his head and raised a brow, a small grin on his face. Temp isn't trying to be mean, just give him a little teasing back.

"I could go on a whole thing about the bastardization of my culture for profit by white people but that's kind of an intense topic." Temp didn't know Rowan Wrynn that well. He also didn't want to scare off his boyfriend's brother by being weird. "I don't think too many people will care if you say stuff like that, but I'm Native so it's like. That stuff is used to put us down a lot."

There was a pause.

"Don't say anything like that in Pacifidlog or certain parts of Slateport or they'll beat your ass, though."

There was some confusion there. Who was @izzy? Hadn't Rowan just said he had a boyfriend?

Well, whatever. Cillian Quinn didn't have bad teeth, washed his ass, and Temp would be more surprised if they were related than if they weren't. Best to just ignore whatever Rowan was going on about.
