Sylus in Grassland Memories...
Spoilers? Analisys?
This event was really cute and is something that was needed by both MC and Sylus: sincerity.
During several memories and events we see that despite everything Mc is still very suspicious of Sylus (and mean at times) And I don't judge her for that, but this event shows her slowly opening up to him too and him trying to take a step in the relationship. While with Xavier, Rafayel and Zayne she already has an established platonic/romantic relationship, where she is playful, where she takes care of them and allows them to take care of her, where trust is very well established and there is an air that everything is fine, with Sylus the situation is different.
In this timeline, they met in a more hostile way and he tried to resonate with her by force, other than that, they dance in a constant pattern of teasing here and provocation there, and in the end they don't know what they are.
Because MC sees Sylus as the powerful leader of a secret organization and that he has no reason to help her, unless he gets something in return and she doesn't remember their past. She is a hunter. She doesn't have to trust him. She has to complete the mission and leave. She doesn't give any space for vulnerability or weakness that can be taken advantage of, usually in the memories he is the one who finds her when she is hurt by a Wanderer.
Normally what we see is Sylus trying to get closer to her, breaking down some walls, going to Linkon to give an excuse to see each other, using Mephisto, anyway… he always takes the first step, but never forces her, he always gives the choice to get closer or not.
The people in the tribe are honest with each other and sincere about their feelings, MC even comments that people are loving and caring as a second nature to them in this tribe. Tarna even teaches the term "beloved" in the native language to both of them, while Mc says it's difficult to pronounce Sylus says he's going to say this word so much that Mc will learn it.
(for context, the two do a challenge and whoever loses has to say the name that Tarnia taught them and offers the wine to the other. Mc won (but between us it was because Sylus let her win)
"In grassland, whoever takes it keeps it."
Because there feelings are confessed right away "what if someone confesses in front and takes away who I admire from me? (something like that)" was something that Tarna said and that left both Sylus and MC thinking about it.
Sylus went from "I'm not in the mood to reveal our relationship right now" to "I need to show them that I already have a lover"
And he knows that she feels something for him too, so much so that he sewed the pounch for him (with a crow, black and red, it was very cute, admit it)
And in the end….
What I liked about this event was that it was just Sylus and MC. Not the leader of Onychinus, from the N109 Zone. Not the hunter from the Association, from Linkon. It was a simple Sylus with a simple MC in a land where expressing your feelings is a blessing.
