Croach is very important to her, both because he's the only person she truly knows here in the game, and because of her recent getting back to her roots and coming to terms with her identity as someone between two worlds she can remember growing up with him in the tribe with fondness she hasn't been able to find in the past few years. Spending time with him in preparation for her trials and the time and "adventures" spent together here also reminded her she enjoys his company and that he is an amusing, strong and brave person. She loves strong and brave.

Along with coming to realize how much she's changed, she's seen Croach has changed, and that, along with everything else, has drawn her down the path of wanting to try to be in a relationship with him again. Before the flower event we're currently doing she was too scared, too, but even just him hugging her back so far has pretty much confirmed he gives her the absolute warm fuzzies and he feels like home. I mean, sure she's under the influence of something, but even without it she would feel it as strongly--it just gave her the prodding to actually get into those arms. She just wants to feel that homey feeling again, and she's 90% sure that's with Croach.
