...man I want to say Sion HAS been working with Aran already, but on the other hand it's also a thing I keep thinking out to be actually played out, so idk. He definitely intended to try working with him as soon as reasonably possible though and Sion's not one to slack off. :|a
But anyway!
Route!Sion is in kind of a weird place. He really honestly does enjoy the time he's getting to spend with Ryner, and a lot of the time is able to mostly put certain looming issues out of his thoughts, but, well, that's still there. Waiting for him. This does make him kind of determined to make the most of things, though, because hey, this is more time with Ryner than he'd hoped to have before, so seize the day and all, right? He's also effectively given up on trying to finish business while here, because thanks to the timing of the Valentine's event right after his arrival, plus everything else, he just... doesn't have the heart to do it. That, and apparently people can't die permanently here anyway, so that just defeats the whole purpose anyway.
So while he still is highly mindful of Roland and his duties back home and all, he's largely just enjoying his time with Ryner. It's essentially just a continuation of how things were back in Roland before they wound up in Johto, really, including bossing Ryner around and dragging him along into things against his will without ever telling him what's really going on. And he never intends to tell Ryner, because he's afraid doing so will just spoil everything. He's got all this extra time to spend with his best friend now, so why ruin it by telling Ryner what a horrible person he really is and end up with Ryner hating him or something? It's much better to let Ryner be happy and then Sion can enjoy the time with him too, after all...
I think the only one of Sion's party with a strong opinion on Ryner is Dusk, and she sees him as a potential stabilizing force for Sion, so she's all for the two of them sticking together. ....well, and Lucile probably creeps on him whenever he's out and unsupervised, but. >_>
Now camp!Sion, on the other hand..... well the short version is basically Ryner is the center of his existence and his reason for living right now. Thanks to camp being camp and Ryner being Ryner, Sion's ended up spilling a lot of his inner secrets/fears/doubts/etc, and that's kind of a big deal. Ryner's torn down a LOT of the emotional walls Sion had put up around himself, many of which he's relied upon for years before he even met Ryner, which puts Sion in an incredibly vulnerable position. And because Ryner's done this while assuring Sion all the while that he's there for him, he wants to help him, etc., and generally insisting on/forcing Sion to tell him things whenever he can, this means that Sion's relying on Ryner for all that extra emotional support. If Ryner were to disappear right now, it would break Sion in a way that might not even be possible to repair, that's how much Sion's relying on his support right now.
Of course, Sion being, well, Sion, and having his many lingering issues that he has (and not to mention Aslude's influence....) means this also makes him even MORE protective/possessive of Ryner. He wants Ryner to be literally by his side as much as possible, and doesn't react well to the idea of someone else somehow disrupting that. Even so, if Ryner one day turned to him and said that he didn't want to spend so much time with Sion anymore, he wants to be with someone else, Sion would likely let him go. He's still honestly kind of expecting that to happen someday sooner or later, anyway, because in his experience nothing he truly cares about stays with him long. So Sion basically is still more than half expecting to lose Ryner somehow, because he's never NOT lost someone he loved, and right now not even all the reassurances to the contrary in the world is enough to completely absolve that fear. It does, however, tend to feed into that aforementioned sense of possessiveness, because even if he's going to lose Ryner someday, Sion's not letting him go without a fight.
And similarly, Sion would rather die before letting any harm come to Ryner. This was true before, and hasn't changed. Sion would kill himself rather than bring harm to Ryner. He might not SAY it or such, but that doesn't make it less true. And for all Ryner's assurances that he'll find a way to fix things somehow, Sion's still making plans for what to do when those ideas fail. He has no intention to tell Ryner about any of those private contingency plans, especially because he knows Ryner would object, but he fully intends to carry something like that out if it came down to it. Because in Sion's mind, as long as Ryner still has people like Ferris and Kiefer and all the others, ultimately, he doesn't strictly need him, therefore if it's ever a choice between his life and Ryner's, Sion's taking matters into his own hands without consulting Ryner. Because now more than ever, Sion can't even imagine living without him.
......and on that horribly depressing note! Which denyuuden characters do you most/least want to see in camp/route?
