"Does it bother you that people deem you cute? Believe me when I say you are more than cute, my friend -- you are a delightful ball of pure charm."
This sentence that Argenti kept replaying in his mind gave him a minimal, but still ever present bad taste in his mouth, since the last time he said it he was hallucinating. It's okay, though... Now that Trailblazer has shown him the way to Herta's Space Station properly this time, he can find as many symbols of Beauty as he wants! Not a single worker there minds his presence, almost as if they're the side characters to his story... Because they are, of course.
This beautiful knight had nothing on his hands today, he was just walking by in Idrilla knows where when he found a lost, little wubbaboo. It seemed to be shivering and looking around frantically, poor thing. "Ahem..." Argenti cleared his throat. It was a little hard to speak to something that makes his heart melt the second he lays his eyes on it. "Are you lost, little one?" His voice was deep, but as sweet and as tender as it could be, the last thing he wanted to happen was for the wubbaboo to be startled and run away, like the last time he approached a wubbaboo. The wubbaboo could sense the kindness and gentle aura from his voice alone, and slowly stopped shivering as it approached the red-haired knight...
"Woo... Woo." It affirmed the allegations, this wubbaboo was indeed lost. It had no idea where it was, despite coming here for over a thousand times. That is totally fine though, despite not being the Galactic Baseballer themselves, the knight is still a human and can return the wubbaboo to where it belongs. This particular wubbaboo is not that fond of talking, so it resorts to flashing a slight smile in hopes that it'll get returned easier. "Worry not, I am here to return you to your rightful home in the Supply Zone of this Space Station." The wubbaboo's smile widened, it was actually going to be saved after the daily reset! This was great! Argenti has no access to teleporting across the space station, but they could make it work. After all, it doesn't mind staring at such a handsome knight for long periods of time, it's like a candy for its eyes! Wait... what?!
Bad wubbaboo! It isn't supposed to think that way about their saviours. The last time that happened, the trailblazer left the Space Station for good to pursue their love for trashcans. And it still hasn't recovered from that heartbreak. The wubbaboo was so distraught, possibly getting its unspoken love confession rejected again... "Oh no, why are you crying? Is something the matter?" The wubbaboo's breath hitched. It didn't even know it was crying. It was so occuppied with its sad thoughts it completely forgot about the main goal: getting returned to the Supply Zone. "Woo?! Woo woo woo..." It's nothing, it's really, really nothing!, the wubbaboo promises. The wubbaboo has overheard from the unending talks of the trailblazer that a red-haired knight can speak roach. Surely it can speak wubbaboo too, right?
"Oh, of course. That is completely fine." Argenti replies, he really doesn't want to startle the wubbaboo like he did to another last time. He may love them, but did not know nearly enough about the etiquettes and manners he needs to use last time when interacting with them. He knows it's not crying because of him, but he just need those 5000 credits...! He pets the head of the wubbaboo and whispers closely to the side of its face, unable to locate an ear. "If there's anything troubling you, do tell me. It's a beautiful way of understanding eachother." Argenti's voice does it again. A soothing voice comforting the startled creature, it does the job so well the wubbaboo almost forgot why it was upset in the first place and goes back into hopelessly crushing over Argenti.
Argenti walks and the wubbaboo flies right behind him for quite a while, all the way to the parked train to the first floor of the Supply Zone, they could see the giant wubbaboo instantly. The way "home" was quiet, like the wubbaboo prefers. It's nice for just a little quiet after embarrassing themselves like that, and it's especially nice that a spontaneous personality like Argenti respects its wishes without question. It ponders while mindlessly following the human, thinking that what if... Hypothetically, of course, the wubbaboo was attracted to Argenti. Would that change anything? Would it still be able to be around him without any weird connotations? Would a human leave them without realising again, for example, plants?
"Wubbaboo, I have returned you home." Argenti's voice, again, interrupts the thoughts that are plaguing the wubbaboo's mind, albeit this time less negative and the wubbaboo doesn't feel a need to completely forget about it right after. The wubbaboo glances at the giant wubbaboo and its mischevious face, it really is returned home. "Woo!" The wubbaboo thanks the human, and before they know it, he has teleported somewhere else. The wubbaboo can see him, though far away, entering a calyx alongside 3 women it doesn't recognize. The wubbaboo just watches, secretly wishing that maybe, if they weren't a dumb wubbaboo that kept getting lost in the same areas every day, that it might've had a chance with such a beautiful human.
