Surface-level, he'd really, really like it if she'd just stop with the public displays of affection for Sion. It's embarrassing, he still can't watch it without feeling a little ill from feelings residue (because love and friendship occupy the same area of the spectrum), and it's got to be a pain for Sion to deal with. He doesn't want to be forceful about it, because he never is, but it'd be really nice.
That said, his opinion of Marian as a person/pokemon is on the positive side of neutral, despite everything. ...Granted the only one who actually dips on the side of negative on occasion is Arius and even he is tolerable as long as there aren't any other water types out, but he does genuinely think of her as a decent person/pokemon, and doesn't hold anything against her specifically when it comes to what happened in October. (Rose is another bottle of issues entirely, but this is about Ryner.)
That's not to say that he doesn't have any problem with what happened in October, though, because as time has passed since it happened and he hasn't been able to get past it (because the feelings residue is stuck on stuff he's blocked from thinking about properly, let alone working through), the real horror of what happened has really been actually dawning on him. Like, when it was over at first, he was just happy for it to be over, as well as exhausted because reasons. And if it wasn't for the feelings residue not going away, he'd be able to just sleep it off and move on. Worked for Bob to the extent that he doesn't even think about that one at all anymore, works well enough to get through the day with Alpha. But it hasn't worked for Marian, and so without being able to put that experience out of mind, he's had months to just slowly realize that yeah, being trapped inside your own head, fully aware but unable to do anything but watch for forty-eight hours? Kind of incredibly terrifying, even if she was harmless, and the constant reminders that she's there whenever she's out don't really help with that.
And of course, his firm refusal to actually talk about it (obviously by refusing to acknowledge the situation it will eventually go away, or something) is only making it worse, really...
But mostly, it'd really help if Marian would stop openly flirting with Sion, because it's embarrassing. >_<
So who would Sion ICly like to see most in Route and Camp?
