Tighnari has invited Cyno to a dinner with Collei. Everyone loved the properly prepared delectables that the young Fennec prepared. Collei was grateful for her masters culinary intelligence, otherwise she wouldn't properly prepare Pita Pockets.

In Sumeru, the surrounding area would be filled with bustling and obnoxious chatter that makes it difficult for anyone to enjoy a peaceful meal. Ghandarva Ville projected the exact opposite. Residents were respectful of others comfort and privacy, camping in their huts during evening hours.

Enjoying the delectable combination of saltiness with a soft chewy texture with the calm aura of dark blue skies surrounding you is enough to make one feel their stress slip from their palms. The mood is better when you sit with the closest people to you, which is what the young Fennec, matra, and student felt.

"Tonight's so beautiful, isn't it?" Collei said. "Indeed," replied Cyno. "I wish we could eat together like this more often."

"We could if I could find the time to gather ingredients and plan the event." Tighnari sighed. "Hey, don't be too hard on yourself. We understand that you're busy with the tasks of being a Forest Watcher." Cyno reassured. He placed a palm on his friend's shoulder. The Fennec expressed a light smile in response.

"Well, I must admit, the moon looks especially astonishing tonight," Tighnari remarked. "It's a full one as well." All eyes at the table turned their attention towards the glowing sphere resting beyond the stars. It added to the relaxing scenery. "Now then, is everyone finished?" The cheerful girl raised her empty bowl in response. "Yep!"

"So am I." Cyno added. "Well then, Collei, why don't you go look over the rose we planted," Tighnari said, turning his gaze to Cyno. "I want some time alone with the matra here." The young girl looked at her master confused, but figured that it would be best not to ask. She did as suggested and ran to tend to the violet rose.

"What is it you want to do with me?" Cyno asked, meeting Tighnari eye-to-eye. The Fennec shifted his mouth into a small grin as he looked back at him. "Follow me," he instructed. "I'll show you." The two young men strolled passed the busy residents roaming from hut to hut.

Cyno obediently followed behind the young Forest Watcher to their destination. Tighnari abruptly stopped at the looming tree, it's Afro-like leaves softly swaying along with the gentle night breeze. The young matra wasn't expecting his friend to climb it. He stood in confusion. The young Fennec looked behind him, realizing he wasn't being followed.

"You coming?" he said with a raised brow. Cyno shook of the abrupt befuddled thought and continued to follow his friend. The higher they got, the more Ghandarva Vile appeared micro. Finally, Tighnari rested on a thick branch, patting the spot next to him signaling for Cyno to place himself there. The General Mahamatra sat quietly on the right whilst the young Fennec sat warmly on the left.

"Did you want to talk about something?" asked Cyno. Tighnari released a relaxed, low chuckle from his lips. "No, I just wanted to be here with you." That answer received a confused look from the matra. "Really?"

"Yes, really." the Fennec remarked sarcastically. "Why, is there something wrong with that?"

"No, not at all. We barely get to spend time like this anyway."

"Well, life is busy. It's kinda stressful to be honest," Tighnari sighed. "I do wish I can get to do more fun activities with you and Collei..." He stared off into the glistening distance, resting his chin on his palm. Cyno gazed at the young Fennec sitting beside him. He wore an unreadable expression, but his drooping ears said otherwise. Cyno had carefully examined body language for his position as a matra and can easily decipher truth and lie just from gazing at someone, and this time Tighnari's pointed ears expressed his loneliness.

As Tighnari dozed off into the distance in his own thoughts, he felt the abrupt touch of fingers grazing the back of his ear. Shivers shot down his spine as he faced his friend whose arm was extended towards him. "Wha-what are you!?-" he began to blabber. "I'm sorry if that disturbed you, but you reminded me of something that I know." Cyno tried to avoid admitting that his Fennec friend reminded him of a sad puppy which could have revealed to be very offensive.

"Remind you of wha-" the young Fennec continued until he was abruptly interrupted by the continuation of gently motioned fingers. Tighnari's spine shook with every scratch. Skin prickled once Cyno started to shift up and down. It took much time for the Fennec to relax into the touches. Once he did, his spine straightened and relaxed, letting soft, low hums escape his lips.

The matra scratched the base before slowly shifting to the tip, brushing it with his palm. The Fennec sighed, his breath hitching as the hand proceeded to the other ear. "Why-" he mumbled. As Cyno proceeded to relieve the other ear, the Fennec rested his head on the bare tanned shoulder. "You nice and full?" the young matra said calmly, returned by a low grumble.

"You know, you look cute when your face is relaxed." Tighnari calmly retorted, unaware of the flustering feeling erupting inside his friend. With a low hum, the Fennec shifted his ear to allow his friend further access. Once the matra put his ear rubs to a cease, the pointed animalistic ears relaxed, however the head never left the shoulder. "You... like it there?" Cyno asked. He was never answered. The two sat in silence as the night sky warmed their presence, the bright moon and stars shining gently on their fair skinned faces.

As they relaxed, Cyno slowly shifted his hand towards the irresistible fluffy tail. "Don't." the young Fennec abruptly demanded. "Just one?" Cyno asked politely. Tighnari groaned. "Fine." He wasn't expecting to receive more than one stroke as he relaxed into the touch of the palm and soft shoulder of his close friend.
