Ask the Psychic Misfits

Cygnus looked around the tent some more as Wilton took a moment to reply. The Jirachi had certainly been to many circuses in his lifetime, all throughout the different development stages, but this one was clearly different in its function. There really were no humans around, so obviously this was a Pokemon only circus - from what Cygnus could tell for now.

He focused his red eyes back on Wilton when the Gardevoir spoke to him again, noting the smile and not returning it. Though Cygnus’ expression was softer than before, it still held that harsh edge. He nodded his head, “if ya say so.”

Naturally Cygnus felt a desire to inform the Gardevoir that he hoped he wouldn’t ruin Wilton’s perception of his kind, but the Jirachi thought better of it. Let the Gardevoir come to whatever conclusion he would. Cygnus would ultimately feel better if Wilton developed an aversion to fallen Stars, so that he wouldn’t be tempted to ask for any Wishes.

Now, the Jirachi cocked a brow at the exchange and Wilton’s suggestion. His red gaze focused on Cherish - who was now blushing - and upon her making her suggestion he merely shrugged.

“Do what you will,” he mused, “it don’ matter t’ me, Cherry. If yer comfortable singin’ on yer own, then go ‘head. I’ll listen.”

Wilton couldn’t help but smile once more. My my, he even had a cute nickname for her as well. He chuckled softly. “Well you got his approval, my dear. Go ahead and sing that little song you enjoy so much, you know?” He commented as he made his way over to Cygnus, standing by his side and keeping his eyes on Cherish.

The small Chimecho gave a soft smile to Cygnus, still blushing a bit. “A-Ah alright, Cyggy! I’ll try my best! This is one of my favorite songs to sing, I believe...” She said softly, as she cleared her throat slightly. She floated back away from the two, turning her back to them. There was a long pause as if she was making sure to remember the lyrics. After another soft pause, she turned back to the two, and started to softly sing. She kept her eyes closed, as if she was singing from her heart. 

As soon as she begun, it seemed as if the rest of the tent as well was caught in her voice. They all turned their gazes to the group, but mostly focused on Cherish. They seemed to have gently smiles on their faces, as if they were relaxed listening to the small ones singing.

Wilton couldn’t help but glance at Cygnus while Cherish sung, watching to see his reaction. Cherish was a beautiful singer, he just wondered what Cygnus would react to it. 

She gave a bit of a small laugh at his comment about the nicknames. “Cherry! I love it!” She giggled out, a small shade of blush popping up on her cheeks. “And Swan? That sounds really pretty! I’ll try calling you that sometimes too, if you like.” She didn’t wish to upset him with the other nickname, but at the same time she didn’t mean wanting to tease him with the new nickname, Cyggy. It was rather cute to her.

When he mentioned he had time to spare to see her sing, her eyes lit up once more and she did one big twirl in the air. “Aaaa thank you so much, Cyggy!” Her bright yellow eyes turned her attention over to a shiny Gardevoir. She held her tiny hand up to her mouth and shouted; “Wilton dear! Can you come over here for a second?”

The Gardevoir glanced over, his soft blue hair flowing slightly over his shoulder. Seeing Cherish, he grew a smile on his face and walked over. When he reached the two, he put one hand on his hip. “Heh hello Cherish dear, everything okay over here?” He asked in a relaxed tone. Glancing at Cygnus, her raised a confused brow. A Jirachi? Here? Well that was strange. “Cherish dear who is this? Another friend?” He asked the Chimecho.

“Oh yes!” She chimmed in, with another smile. “This is a new friend I just made a while ago, his name is Cygnus!” 

Wilton turned his attention to Cygnus and smiled again, holding out his hand to the Jirachi. “Well, any friend of Cherish is a friend of mine. She’s a dear friend to me. I’m Wilton, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Cygnus.” 

Cygnus shrugged, “’s up t’ you whether ya wanna’ call me Swan or not, Cherish. It’s jus’ what my name means, after all. If ya know anythin’ ‘bout constellations, th’ cygnus is th’ Swan constellation,” he sighed lightly, “’ve got a preference t’ Cyg and Swan m’self, bu’ like I said, ‘s up t’ you.”

One of his brows flew up at her obvious excitement at being able to sing for him, then his gaze fell upon the blue Gardevoir. He watched the other male approach, able to clearly see that this Gardevoir was built for dancing. He was quite lithe, after all.

For a moment Cygnus gazed uninterestedly at Wilton’s hand, though upon realizing that he could shake the Gardevoir’s hand without accidentally scratching the Gardevoir’s palm with the long ungainly claws on his right hand, he grasped Wilton’s hand in a firm grip, holding on briefly before letting go.

“Pleased t’ meet’cha, Wilton. Hope me bein’ here ain’t too unsettlin’,” he mused, leaning his cheek against the palm of his hand.

Wilton was a bit confused at the last part of Cygnus’ statement. Unsettling? He didn’t really see WHY. Maybe it was because he looked a bit strange for a Jirachi....or the fact he WAS a Jirachi in the first place. Other then that, he didn’t really think he was all that strange. Everyone was different in some way, so he was very much alright with Cygnus. He gave a soft, almost warm smile to the Jirachi.

“Ah no you’re not trouble at all, Cygnus. I must say, it’s a honor to have a legendary in here. We sometimes get some in here, but I don’t believe we’ve seen a Jirachi before, so it’s a nice change.” He chuckled out, thinking about to a couple times legendaries tried to come in. Before he could continue, Cherish’s soft voice broke his thoughts.

“Wilton dear I’m sorry for troubling you, but would it be alright if you helped me with a quick performance with Cygnus? He wanted to see what we could do together!” She giggled out, doing yet another soft twirl. Wilton couldn’t help but smile. Oh a chance to dance? Well wait one moment, he thought. He noticed Cherish’s attitude, and it was quite new to see her get so giddy about singing to one friend. Maybe this Cygnus was a closer friend then he thought. An idea came to the Gardevoir and he gave a sly smirk.

“Oh darling....why don’t you just sing to Cygnus yourself? I see you practicing by yourself, and I could be here to watch as well, if you just sang to Cygnus without me dancing with you? Let him focus on your beautiful voice.” He spoke up, poking her soft, flowing tail gently. Cherish couldn’t help but blush at Wilton’s statement. 

“O-Oh well that’s true...” She stammered out, a soft blush on her face. She turned her attention back to Cygnus and smiled. “Would that be alright, Cygnus? Would you like me to just sing? Wilton can watch too!” 

“’m not too sure what she would even see in me t’ bother hangin’ around… bu’ she sure has a bright smile.”

(( psychic-carnival ;; askreaper-dusknoir Cygnus has a pretty realistic style. And works on one layer, like you would in a traditional painting. ))

(( I NEVER RESPONSED TO THIS AND I HATE MYSELF FOR THAT OMFG AIR THIS WAS SO LOVELY....

I SAVED IT SO I COULD DRAW CHERISH’S REACTION SO

HERE IT FINALLY IS

I know she probably never saw this but I’d like to imagine this is how she’d react if Cygnus had shown her this ;v; ))

Wilton: *laughs slightly* And we do seem to have the same eyes, that’s lovely! You have beautiful eyes as well! Still, it’s a pleasure to meet you, if you’d like to know my name, it’s Wilton~. And what might your name be, if I might ask? I’d love to get to know another fellow Gardevoir better.
