As you and Stardust fought an enemy, you had gotten severely injured. Stardust, being Stardust, had turned into his giant Cosmic Phoenix form. He had finished the enemies off, and immediately returned to your side. Stardust was still in his Phoenix form, but had turned into a more smaller state so he could hold you.

At the Beast Yeast Kingdom, you were laying in the bed with Stardust st your side. He refused to leave your side, his head laying on your hand.
