>>5997918"I did it well?!" You hear a piercing sound as she crouches down a bit further. "Urgh. My...heart..." but she resists passing from joy.
Lotad drops her dish so he can climb on. "The p-picnics get thinner as the food goes. It doesn't get quiet, but it's more p-peaceful..."
And off you are.
>>5997909Without your attention focused on attacking, you can grab the sheet without incident. It was torn from your compass by another of those invisible stems, as the shell was still in your possession. It's another heavily rolled up scroll making up the "compass's" innards, revealing itself to be a Q-shaped eyeball pointing straight down. Well, there's another one.
"As long as you save the beatdowns for her! Whew!" Turning trails sighs with a hand over his chest. Meowscarada however, is much quieter. Pic related.

The Orbeetle disengages Gravity to hover and catch his partner in crime, hovering away to who knows where.
And that's how the bulk of excitement plays out for the lot you in this 'courtship party'. Couples are already finding eachother and hitting it off, many are passing the next morning in food comas, and some of you catch a taste of old rivals before turning in for the night. The Sashay Tribe spends quite a bit more time at Bountiful Sea than you explorers need or want to, so a few of their number are willing to ferry you back across the strait between Air and Water Continent early when you're ready to leave. It's a much more peaceful trip, as the eastward current doesn't pass through a dangerous mystery dungeon or near territorial feral territory.
As for Ishmael's request, the Ludicolo accompanying you all back are also surveying the needs he describes as well as reporting your success. The Sashay Chieftain still has decisions to weigh and others to consult. Whether the Growth Script will land in your hands will be revealed...later! For now, catch some rest and enjoy yourselves.
