[And there, on the rocky terrain surrounding Umbra Cave, is Roxanne. With a book under one arm she's exploring the area, hopeful in finding a few Rock-type Pokemon that are generally native to Unova

[Well, that is a strange letter... But anyway, Cynthia is not particularly troubled, both because there's no one else around (yet) and because, come on, it's hand holding. She does that often without any coercing needed, and it's fun, anyway!
[Not really, in his mind. Who is this Flint person you speak of-- alas, this Volkner is horribly, horribly AU.]
...Cynthia. [That's the best greeting you're getting, sorry. He's either comfortable with the hand-holding issue or simply cannot be bothered to care, apparently.]
[...my, this certainly is something, though "fun" isn't exactly the way he'd word it; Lucian's never really been one for loads of physical contact as it stands, and -
Ah.]
Well, hello there, Cynthia.
[...in combination with this letter, this can only end...interestingly, can't it.]
[Very interestingly, yes. Just wait until she starts having evil ideas on how to fully profit from this - including, but not limited to, dragging him off to exciting exploring adventures that he never really agreed to join her in. But that will come later; for now, she's just happy to see her bookworm bff, even if the circumstances were--
--oh wait, she liked the circumstances.]
It wasn't even my doing this time! [In reference to the sudden physical contact, though judging by the letter in his free hand, he knew.]
Well, you seem rather pleased about it, regardless; you're sure that there isn't some sort of agreement between the island and yourself?
[Even if forced contact tends to leave him a bit linefacey, his tone is light, however; almost teasing, really. After all, there are far worse people it could be with, and Cynthia is, at the very least, pleasant company.]
If there were, I would have suggested hugs instead. [And the way her smile widens isn't completely innocent. See, she could do a lot worse than hand-holding, so do watch out for any impromptu displays of affection.]
Alas, I haven't seen you in over a year and you first greet me with unfounded suspicions; always so mean, Lucian. [Said in a very similar tone to his, one of playful banter and a little bit of drama.]
[Lucian, dear, if she ever learns about this other Cynthia you met, she's going to ask all the questions ever. She's a curious cat and has never had the chance to meet a double, you see.]
Ah, but the thing is, I wouldn't really force anyone to hug, I'd just encourage it. By means of setting the example, most likely.
[Here she pauses and gives him a Look. Bookworm should know what's coming by now, and the best part is that he can't run away from her.]
[Well! He'll gladly tell you about the double, if it ever comes up; the fact that they exist is rather fascinating, you see, and it's really something that he - ]
[...you are very fortunate that it's you doing the hugging, you know. Otherwise there would be...well. A lot more balking, probably. As it stands, touchy-feely sparklytimes are pretty much par for the course.]
Leading by example - as well the Champion should, hm?
... this will be fun, right?]

I shouldn't be surprised that you have been brought to this place, too, should I?

That's...perfectly well and good, actually, especially as he has a few points of contention with the other.]
Mm, I'll have to ask you to forgive me, then - but you can't really say these suspicions are unfounded, given what you just said.
