Canon
Caelus heard a call as he boarded the Astral Express. It was Pom-Pom that he saw, someone shorter than him. Himeko told Pom-Pom about Caelus' situation, thus Pom-Pom already know. Since Caelus was riding the Express for the first time, Pom-Pom informs him of its rules. Caelus was told by Pom-Pom to keep in mind the rules and to find Pom-Pom if he has any troubles.

During the "A Grand Cool Adventure" quest, Caelus asks Pom-Pom whether Pom-Pom has ever gone on an adventure before, because their first mission is about to begin. Pom-Pom said no. Caelus ask Pom-Pom another question if he ever have you been to Jarilo-VI before. But Pom-Pom still said no. Pom-Pom also told  Caelus that Pom-Pom was unable to get off the train at this time. Caelus wonders why Pom-Pom seems so dejected lately.

The trio's journey aboard the Jarilo-VI had finally come to a pleasant end when they returned to the Astral Express. Their first trip is now over, but a new one is about to start. March told Pom-Pom that they they're back. March was told by Pom-Pom that Pom-Pom should focus on the star rail stability. Pom-Pom welcome back Caelus to the Express. Pom-Pom told Caelus that the Express was grateful for his help and that he had completed his first Trailblaze Mission. Caelus admitted to Pom-Pom that he had forgotten to bring souvenirs, but Pom-Pom reassured him not to worry. Caelus is still reminded by Pom-Pom to remember it the next time.

During the dialogue, when Caelus talk to Pom-Pom, Pom-Pom is glad to see him. Pom-Pom called Caelus that he is Pom-Pom's favorite, Trailblazer or if Pom-Pom is gazing outside. Pom-Pom told Caelus that Pom-Pom can't go outside, yet even from the Express and the stars are still so pretty to look at. Pom-Pom asks Caelus what the outside world looks like. Pom-Pom told Caelus to grab some sleep when he's done wondering about. Pom-Pom told Caelus If only Pom-Pom could go out on expeditions with him.

During their conversation, Caelus asks Pom-Pom about Pom-Pom's past. "Who am I and what is my past? Is there any point in you asking such things?" Pom-Pom asked Caelus. Pom-Pom also explained that Pom-Pom is just a polite conductor and that it's important to follow by the Express's rules and not try to make Pom-Pom angry all the time. Caelus could check his Trailblaze Level and get Trailblaze Rewards from Pom-Pom as he got closer to Pom-Pom.
