A cheeky smile flashed across Dasha’s features as Sam spoke. “We’ll have to compare dates~” she mused back just as playfully. What came next had her lips pressing together some. Thankfully she had some extra time as it seemed their drinks were in. A small ‘thank you’ resounded form her as well as the staffer left again. A hand reached out for her drink, and as she took a sip, Dasha exhaled some.
“My family actually came here before I did,” she explained slowly. “They were trying to escape the war, and I chose to stay in Era for another year before Interpol had me move.” That wasn’t exactly what had happened, but… “When the decision was made that I was going to have to leave, I asked them to move me to Veria at least.” Her features quirked a little in a brief smile before she took another sip. “So I could at least be near the fam sort of…”
On realizing she’d admitted so much, Dasha found her features warming some. “What is your family like?” she asked sort of redirection the question now.

Sam took a small quiet sip of her drink, letting the flavor wash over her tongue before swallowing, even the cool drink seeming to aid the warmth building inside of her from the hot spring, idly swirling the drink around in the glass as she listened to Dasha...so she'd moved here to be with her family? That explained the mention of insisting she came here. Veria was a nice region, and even with places like Hoenn and Alola Sam had no desire to leave, but she did find it a bit odd that Dasha was bragging about her choice to come here until just now, though it did bring a faint chuckle of a reaction from her, hiding her mouth behind the glass.
Pulling the tray down between them before she began to speak, she checked if it would float before resting her glass on it, knowing both of them were still and calm enough not to tip the floating tray either way. "Well that's certainly good at least. I mean, its great you stayed behind to try and help the region, but even then its better still you got to be with your family when you did move into the region after them." She gave a soft smile, likely not even knowing half of the situation, but as the question shifted to her...
"Well...they're not exactly some fantasy noble family or anything. My er...my dad works for a general store aboard Sinclair, just a small place that supplies trainers and residents with groceries and stuff. My mom actually works for a non-league company that supplies equipment to pokemon centers. She dosn't make any of it, just makes sure everyone's getting what they need..." She scratched idly at the back of her head, she loved her family but they weren't very...special? God that felt weird to think about her own parents...
"They're a pretty nice couple though, I get to visit them now and then when i have to ride Sinclair for a job or when I get a few days vacation. They used to live on the third car, but I just recently managed to help them afford some space on the 1st car. Nothing too high up but...its nice to see them a little more comfortable..." She blushed and gave a somewhat sheepish smile as she lowered her head.

….Oh. Oh wow. Dasha was so used to having to defend herself, her decisions, her everything, that hearing that she’d made a good choice to stay and an alright choice to eventually leave gave her mixed feelings. Her lips pressed together into a softer smile, and she was glad for the break as Sam began to describe her own situation.
The realization that she might have even met Sam’s dad in passing was strange to Dasha, yet … of course? It was a regular job to have. She probably wouldn’t know her mom’s work so readily but.. Sam felt so normal it was almost strange? Like, not really but? Right after discussing her own, maybe, yeah. They used to live in the third car but I just managed to help them afford some space on the first. Oh. Oh. Dasha had… had never even considered doing something like that for her family. Granted, they were nobles and even now reasonably wealthy but… But?
Hhhhhhhhhh….. Dasha sipped her drink once before speaking. “That’s… that’s really nice,” she admitted smiling a bit softer. “I live in Sinclair right now, actually. The commute to work in Faraday isn’t bad though.” Not when there were Pokemon to ride, things that teleported, and Arceus knew what else. “It is a bit cramped though.” She chuckled a bit. “Did you grow up in Sinclair then?” she asked almost after the fact.

Chuckling a little, Sam still felt oddly nervous. Everyone around her tended to have some grand backstory about her parents and while she did love her own it always felt a tad bit weird describing her own by sheer comparison. Whatever the case, it was nice to hear the compliment(?) from Dasha, she'd made a savings account to help her parents move since even before her work as Cat really hit it's stride, so to get some nice words about it made her cheeks redden just a little.
"Heh, yeah it can definitely get a bit cramped...I've got a one room apartment on the third car for when I visit. Place just has a TV, fold out couch and a tiny kitchen." When she said one room, she meant the kind of apartment that was a livingroom and nothing else. "I did grow up there though, yeah, my parents were actually...I wanna say part of the second Sinclair generation? Roughly there-about at least. It used to be a little rougher since crooks could hop on and hop off wherever, and even if it's better now it's kinda why I wanted to help them move to the first car. Heck we got robbed once when I was a kid...was why I even wanted to get into police work, let alone Interpol."

Oh huh. She could afford a one bedroom place to herself? Well, then again, the third car was significantly less expensive than the first, so that made sense especially if she maybe rented it out to others when she wasn’t there. That made even more sense when combined with the fact Sam grew up there. Second generation Sinclair, ah right. It was a relatively new ‘city’ wasn’t it? She swore she’d briefly looked into its history upon first arriving in Veria, but since then it hadn’t really been a topic of conversation so.
Oh, that was… also why Sam had joined Interpol then? To clean up her city or maybe even expand beyond that. It was… similar in a way to why she’d joined Interpol too, if on a smaller scale, perhaps. “That is… a really good reason,” she answered before taking a sip of her drink again. “It seems a lot more solid than treating it as a part time endeavor while also playing breeder and CEO and actor and….” She rolled her eyes and looked sideways at Sam with a small smile. It was hard not to be a little critical of Josh’s exploits when so much of who and what she was was Interpol at the end of the day.

"Heh...honestly its hard sometimes not to think I didn't just live out my childhood fantasy a little too hard or something but...thanks." She gave a soft smile in turn to Dasha, reaching for the floating tray and taking her drink to sip, but at the words that followed it was a light struggle not to choke, lightly pressing a hand against her chest as if it would somehow aid the harsh swallow she had to make. Sam knew full well who Dasha was talking about by the end, but even then it was hard to remember none of that could have been aimed at her. She used to have less hours at interpol herself so she did feel a little guilty for briefly sharing the same mentality, but she'd managed to find a bit more of a balance as of late, so she did feel better in herself. Like Dasha, Interpol was a large part of who she was, but then...so was Cat. A part of her wanted to rag on Josh but.
"I mean...I dunno...blondies doing his part, and he's a bit of a self centered twat sometimes but at least he's trying to help out the region in his own weird way. I mean interpol is a full time job for me, but i still have a life outside of it ya know? Heck the amount of stress and work you have to put in to get the job done right is part of why I need my own time." She ran her fingers back through her hair with a light shrug before looking off to the side as she relaxed, the moisture in the air weighing her red hair down and making it lay flatter on her head at this point. "I'd still prefer he focused on one or the other, but if that's how he functions its how he functions, right?"

Assuming Sam’s choke was part of a laugh, Dasha smirked a little. At least... until she went on. Ah… yeah… Dasha sunk into the water a little more. She guessed, maybe that was… sort of what normal people did. Well, actually no, even she took time out for herself. She just… spent it shopping and doing things in a similar fashion to this (even if she was pretty sure she hadn’t actually taken a break in a month whoops work being used as a distraction from other things isn’t actually a good outlet).
A small, weird half laugh did escape from Dasha at the mention of how Josh functioned. “I guess,” she answered shrugging a little more easily than before. “Just seems like a lot when we’re understaffed right now.” She sighed a little softer. “Benoit got me wrapped up in his giant purple bug case.” Despite herself, Dasha smiled a little. “It should be interesting at least.” She hadn’t been around when Sinclair apparently had a Genesect escape from the back end of the car, but that was somehow tangentially related to that, wasn’t it?

She hadn't meant to kill the mood so much, but should her own secret ever come out she'd hate to have been such a big hypocrite to one of the few people in the office she was getting along with, ruffling the moist hair on the back of her head. At the mention of the Genesect case, she couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head just a little. "I was meant to be back up support for that at one point but they thought it might be best just to use field units for the next series of infiltration missions. Hopefully it goes well for you guys. I've actually seen the thing once, though only in passing. It was quite devestating for its size...tore a hole in the side of the storage car somehow, when none of the wild pokemon rampaging that day could..."
She struggled to really see how that was possible, sinclair withstood a lot more damage than people might expect during its journies every day, so how a pokemon could pull that off...well...suffice to say it was impressive and terrifying in equal measures. "Boy that was a weird day...you didn't get transferred till after the whole life pillar thing, right?"

Tore a hole through the side of a storage car. Dasha knew this. It was all written out in the incident report, but hearing Sam had seen it, experienced it, she couldn’t help but be curious of her actual experience with it. The mention of the life pillar, however, had her shaking her head some.
“I came much later,” she answered out loud thereafter. “But I’ve read through most of the reports of the incident.” She’d planned to read them all, of course, but then had gotten wrapped up with the Gala’s situation which was a whole ‘nother mess of sorts.
There was a pause before she sighed again. “And of course, I’ve seen for myself than Konto is immortal.” She’d just finished filing that report the other day which was a mess in of itself. “Veria seems to have a lot more problems than just people issues…” she half-laughed again. At least Era, from what she’d seen of it up until she left, was quicker to brandish a sword than use legendary Pokemon.

Sam gave a faint smile, the reports were practically mandatory around the office, especially for those on the case for the purple insect, but it wasn't like it was perfect information. Anyone could easily admit that first hand experience of the event was what mattered...she almost wished it had been something smaller though, like the Meloetta seen around Caravella. Why did the dangerous pokemon have to be the one that attacked her parents home? Though...it HAD fought off a good portion of the wild pokemon...
Drawn from her thoughts by the Konto name, Sam was clearly a little alarmed, unsure what to say. There'd been a brief rumor in the office Dasha had dealt with Konto but she'd thought it rude to assume the rumors were true. "You've really dealt with him? He's really immortal?" It wasn't like Ryusuke seemed to lack confidence in that statement whenever he'd made it, but he also actively admitted he hadn't tested the theory. "How did you even-" She wanted to ask how someone tested 'immortality' but...given the likely answer, perhaps it wasn't best for a relaxing day. She made a motion of zipping her lips and playfully commenting. "I'll save that for later...but you're right. I mean, heh, we're not at war but..." She gave a shrug, hoping her nervous smile conveyed that as a joke rather than anything insulting.

Dasha flinched slightly at Sam’s alarm. The questions earned no vocal response but a small head nod. Thankfully Sam seemed to catch herself and made that gesture. A breath Dasha didn’t know she was holding drew into her after. Sam’s attempt at… whatever that was was vaguely appreciated as well. “Thanks,” she spoke before even really realizing it.
Reaching a hand up, she felt over the curled hairs on the back of her neck slowly. “…You know it’s… kind of funny I used to not believe in Legendary Pokemon at all.” Was it funny? Dasha didn’t know. “In Era, I don’t think we’ve ever had even one documented case of them. Nik- er- my brother always believed in Arceus, but..” She shook her head looking back towards Sam. “Kind of seems like the gods forsook Era now that I compare it to Veria.”

"Forsook you eh...that's one way to put it..." Dipping her head back, staring up at the passing clouds over head, she couldn't help but give out a soft chuckle. That so was one way of putting it. "I mean...have you seen what the legends have done here? Been a vital part in creating a wasteland, showed up at the last possible second when trainers had managed to save their cities, heck, I'm pretty sure there were even reports of some wind and lightning gods fighting close to the light pillar!" She burst out into a louder chuckle, dipping her head back down to shake it in disbelief.
"I think, in all his wisdom, Arceus looked into you guys' future, saw you had enough shit on your plate, and just sent all your legendary Pokemon over here. Sounds about right to me..!~"
Giggling for a second or two more, she lifted her glass, a last sip finishing it off and giving a relaxed sigh, tipping her head towards the small panel the phone had been hidden in. "You wanna soak a bit longer, or shall I see if there's a massage room free?"

Pffffft. A deep puff of air escaped from Dasha as Sam spoke. “When you put it like that,” she mumbled threading some of her looser curls back behind her ear. “True enough.” If Legendary Pokemon had interceded in Era, it might have been even more worse off than it already was. Or, perhaps someone would have already used one to end the war entirely. Who knew? She… she didn’t unfortunately.
Sam’s question pulled Dasha out of her thoughts. Ah, they had been in the water for a while now hadn’t they? Pulling her hand back, she looked over her slightly pruned fingers. “A massage sounds perfect right about now~” she mused stretching both arms up and leaning forward a little. She was much looser thanks to the heat, and a Swedish massage was now calling her name.

Sam chuckled a little as she watched Dasha check her fingers, they had been in here quite a while, and maybe it was just her, but a day of relaxation and maybe a beauty treatment or two if they wanted to push it, was slightly ruined by looking down at your pruney hands. Everything in moderation afterall. Reaching back out of the pool, she'd contact the desk and ask if there were two masseuses available. Upon being told they'd reserve them for the next few minutes, Sam tipped her head back over her shoulder to ask. "Hey, you want to share a room, or go private?"
Hearing whatever Dasha wanted, she'd relay it down the line and smile appreciatively despite the inability to be seen. Putting the phone down, she'd cover the panel back up and ease herself out of the water, grooooaning deeply as she made her way up to her feet, exagerating the relaxed state she was in just a little as she nearly dragged her feet out of the water, scooching out of the edge on her rear till she was fully out, briefly running her hands over her thighs, the slight herbal elements of the water making them feel a little like jelly beneath her. "OOph...may need a sec here...think my legs got a little waterlogged here!~"
Giggling as she clearly teased, she'd be back up on her feet in a few seconds, heading to her own changingroom, just dab-drying with a towel till she was just a little damp, wrapping the towel around her hip to carry as she slipped into the private massage room, stretching her arms over her head, and starting to take off her swimsuit as she sat on the table, laying down on her bare front with a relaxed purr as she waited for her masseuse, lightly kicking her legs behind her as she debated which of the massage oils to request if she was really going to indulge herself a bit.

Dasha moved a bit slower, stretching as she pulled herself up out of the tub. Even with the topics of conversation, she felt so very relaxed now. A massage on top of that was going to do absolute wonders. A silly expression did come to Dasha’s features as Sam spoke, but she could agree with that. The water had done its job. Going back to the changing room, she moved slower, taking her time in drying off and getting to the massage room before pulling off her swim suit. Some vague nerves thoughts did jump to mind, but she did her best to ignore them. This was about her relaxation after all, and she was going to run with it.
As the massage therapist came in, they had a brief discussion before he set to work, focusing on the muscle groups Dasha had pointed out and using the specific oils that she asked for. Arceus, a two-hour massage in all those tense areas was just what the doctor ordered. She lay there for almost fifteen minutes after before slowly sitting up again. She was so… so … so relaxed and kind of vaguely dizzy but not in the specific sense that the world was spinning or anything. Going back to the changing room, she started to pull on her regular clothes again. A soft hummed tune escaped from her as she stepped out thereafter and stretched slowly in the more common area.
Mmmmmm …. She should probably check her phone but that required effort.
