There was rare expressions most saw Cress with and this would be one of them with how he liked to gush over his simian pokemon in an endearing way. Excitedly showing him a drawing it made, jumping up into his lap as Cress was seated on the sofa with Cheren talking before becoming distracted. Letting his hands come squish the pokemon's cheeks as his nose came to nuzzle into his, 'Cuuuute~ So talented you are, Panpour~' He hummed happily with the simian chattering in glee to reciprocating the action of noses. A soft scratch given under the pokemon chin before he directed his attention back to Cheren, "I'm sorry, what was it you were saying?'
[ it’s not often that he allows his guard to be let down like this, hm? it’s a scene that he feels is saved for his family (wherever they are), while his normal expression is something more cool, something more collected for fans ready to offer up their hearts at a moment’s chance.
there’s a softness in cheren’s eyes once cress looks back, and he shakes his head as if to dismiss his question. ]
nothing, i was just... talking. the extroverts have been such bad influences on me lately.
[ his mouth opens as if he has nothing to say, but he can’t get the words out. maybe that’s for the best. ] panpour suits you as a partner. [ is what he says instead. ]
