"Yeah Guess we will huh?~ I'm hoping to keep the streak going honestly." Sam put down the menu for a second, seemed they were already doing a little better just by sitting down and she hadn't even gotten drinks yet. That was good, though...Dasha's question did throw her a bit. She word something wrong? "Er...yeah? Kai's my friend, you're my friend...Kai's you're friend too I'm pretty sure, sooooo Dasha's friend is my friend too." She gave a light shrug and smirked. "I mess something up there? I mean if you guy's aren't friends I'm sorry, but you may wanna tell him that before he asks us to mind Nalani for an evening or something.~"

FFFFF. Oh. No that was- oh. Dasha shook her head. "I think I misheard something." Or misunderstood. Whichever. At least, if she was going to embarrass herslf, it was going to be with two people she'd come to have mutual kinship with. Her features did twitch up at the thought of seeing the kids again, though. "Dunno, I wouldn't mind watching her either way," she commented, semi-changing the nature of the conversation or at least trying to. "She reminds me a little of myself at that age." Which was debatably a good or bad thing.
Had she shown Alex the picture she'd snapped of Kai's kids? She was pretty sure she had, but on the off chance, she fished out her phone and flipped through some images before turning it around for Alex to see.

Uh-huh? Uh, kay then. Alex wasn't sure what Dasha misheard but it sounded like everything was fine, so oh we--
Hm? What did Dasha have there? Alex leaned forward and-- Pfff. "Yeah you showed me," she commented, hopefully not sounding too snappy or annoyed, just letting her know. A smirk quirked up, and Alex teased, "You're not gonna go full Proud Aunt on these kids, too, are ya? Lexi might get jealous if she has to share you too much~" She'd gotten so boistrous lately, too. Alex could just imagine her challenging these teenagers or however old they were to a fight to win back her aunt Dasha, pfha.

Still a little unsure what the misunderstanding had been herself, Sam leaned back in her chair, making a mental note to ask Dasha what she'd thought later...did she think she was only friends with Kai because of Dasha? Did she...not know they'd hung out without her once? Huh. Maybe not, she supposed she didn't specifically talk about it even if Kai was the one guy in the office she could tolerate...unless the IT guy counted...he was pretty chill. Upgraded her home laptop for free once. Cool dude.
Snapped out of her brief day dream by the mention of 'Auntie Dasha', she gave out a loud snicker. She wasn't sure if Alex was 'Lexi' given it could be a nickname of Alexis, but the image of Auntie Dasha was pretty amusing. "I dunno, she was pretty sweet with the kids. Told them all about Era and being a soldier. Actually, telling them old stories makes you more grandma Dasha right?~ I mean ya got the hair color for it.~"

Dasha's features flushed a little both from the assurance that she had shown their pictures to Alex before and then the follow up about Lexi. She might have said something then, but then Sam spoke and djasdhakjsdhakjsdh. GRANDMA? "What? N-nO?!?" A weird noise, not quite a laugh not quite a rebuke, escaped from Dasha. "No- I'm…. ngh…" Her lips pressed together, and she huffed very briefly, attempting more mock annoyance than true annoyance, at Sam. "My hair's naturally white-" she insisted, as if Sam wasn't already aware of this. "And I don't have a single wrinkle." Maybe she was pushing that a little too hard, and maybe her features had yet to cool entirely but… "I'm not even ready to be a mom." Oh, ok, could say that too, apparently.

Oh, Alex was snickering up a storm at all that. She very nearly spouted could've fooled me about ready to be a mom, but held her tongue to avoid calling questions about Starry. She had that much tact. ...For now. But regarding the wrinkles? "I dunnooooo. I've seen you scowling lately. Sure you don't wanna scrub off that makeup and double-check~?"
Aaaahhhh Dash might just punch her~♥
"But nah seriously." She looked to Sam briefly, then back to Dasha. "You shown her pics of Lex or do I need to bring them out?" She had plenty of recent ones from Christmas on her own phone, too. Including one of Lexi trying to get Orion to play Ponyta with her she was pretty sure, or maybe she was just beating him up and the size difference made it look that way. Either was good. One of her looking a bit terrified sitting on Feliks's shoulder was another of Alex's favorites. (What did you mean large men playing with a kindergarten girl had become an aesthetic?)

Okay Dasha she'd been meaning to get a rise out of you with that but SNRRRK. Awww she was so cute!~ Sam couldn't entirely tell if she was being super defensive or just playing along, or whatever mixture of the two! It could be 20-80, 80-20, 50-50, whatever, she just seemed so cute getting so cutely defensive about her age.
"Oh I dunno, you'd make a pretty chill grandma I think.~ You got the make up tips down, you're all refined and classy when ya wanna be, very easily flustered when caught off guard, and you're good with kids! Pretty sure you're grandma material right there!~" Of course she was just still teasing, and was glad Alex was helping along to prove she hadn't offended either of them.
At the mention of the name Lexi again, Sam was definitely curious. "Oh is Lexi an actual kid? I just assumed that was some cute nickname and you were going third person. I mean, I know I'd be a bit jealous if I shared Dash too much." She smirked and looked over to Dash, crossing her arms and leaning over the table. "So who's this little Lexi? You actually a secret Aunt and I didn't know?~" She backed off a little as the Hostess returned with their drinks, giving Dasha some room as she took her own drink.

JASHKDJASHDKAJSHD ALEX. Dasha's features scrunched up- only to flatten out again as she remembered that made wrinkles. And no, she wasn't shifting her purse on the back of the chair in hopes of grabbing her compact mirror. She could be subtle, she- SAM. Dasha's lips parted and then sealed. Her blush deepened, and a hand reached to rest at her forehead. She didn't… even know what to say with both of them being like this.
At least the conversation shifted over to Lexi- SAM. Ghjasdgahsdgajdg. "Lexi's Jakob's daughter," Dasha slurred-spoke pretty fast. She did not remember if she'd ever introduced Jakob to Sam as her brother or not, but already, Dasha was flipping through her phone to the picture she'd snapped of her riding on Jakob's shoulders months back. Turning it around to Sam, she held it forward. Even then she'd probably recognize that this was office guy Jakob- the one who seemed to mostly do paperwork (or always do paperwork?).

I know I'd be jealous if I shared Dasha too much. ... Ahahahahhaha yeah Alex probably shouldn't touch that with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole, huh? Ha. But as Sam revealed she really didn't know about Lexi, some part of Alex turned... smug. That she'd heard more of Sam than Sam had of her could be taken either way, but there was no insecurity filtering this. Alex knew how much Dasha adored their niece, and this pretty well cemented the idea that Alex was still closer and got to hear all the happenings in Dasha's life while Sam was just someone to hang out with. (Not that living together might lend to Alex hearing more random things or anything, but sssssshhhhhh.) Confidence renewed, she pulled out her own phone. "Yeah, Jakob's my twin. Lexi's named after me, but she's way cuter~" She showed Sam a few photos of her own, including a few from Christmas and some more general ones. "I mean she's 5 so cute's a given, but ya know."[Refs: X X X X X ]

"Jakob? The guy who does all the paperwork round the-oh. Yup. Yup that's him alright..." So maybe Kai and her weren't Dasha's only pals in the office, ah well. Still as she got shown the little girl on his shoulders, Sam couldn't help but snicker before having to cover her mouth and suppress a squeak as Alex added to the pile of cute. AWWWW!? How had she not heard about this prescious little bundle before? Taking one of the phones carefully (probably Dasha's since she'd be more comfortable sharing in Sam's head), she got a closer look at the little cutie and giggled through her hand.
"Awww. Auntie Dash has such a cute little Niece.~" She turned her eyes to Dash with a light smile before back to the pictures, easily relaxing more in her seat now. "You see her often?"

Dasha beamed entirely too much easily letting go of her phone so Sam could see Lexi up close. "She's such a cutie in person too, the camera doesn't do her justice," she proclaimed proudly. At the question, she smiled a little less.
"Jakob lives up in Liggs, but I try and drop in as much as possible," she tried not to sigh too much at that. Going from Sinclair to Liggs to Faraday wasn't actually that much of a commute (especially when Sinclair was at or between the two stations), but it still felt like one now and again. Maybe the tourist trap business of Sinclair had worn off its charm too. Maybe she'd just been considering moving ever since that confrontation with Nik … not quite a year ago now huh? Heh. And Nik'd even moved off first at the end of the day.

Alex was beaming as well as Sam fawned over Lexi. Damn straight her niece was the cutest. Bask in this precious face, bitch~ ... Alex should probably maybe attempt to start working on that cursing habit when even her casual thoughts were that heavy with it but what the fuck ever. ... Ahem, anyway.
As Dasha commented on Liggs, brown eyes shifted up. "Ya know it'd probably be easier if we got a place in Liggs or Faraday instead of figuring out the subway schedule for whereever Sinclair's stopped on a given day." Alex probably should have left it at that, but couldn't help but comment for probably the fifth time that month something to this effect, "And we might finally have room for all your crap." At this point she legitimately did not know if she was complaining or just teasing. There was just. so much. It would have been hilarious if their apartment wasn't so cramped with it.

Sam reveled in this little cutie for a little longer, carefully sliding her thumb only halfway across the screen to see if there was another pic or two she hadn't seen yet, but if she saw anything that clearly wasn't going to be a cute little 5 year old, she'd stop moving her thumb and keep herself on the same picture, admiring the young girl for a moment and giggling as she quietly pictured Dasha doing sweet family stuff with them, finally holding the phone out to be take back.
"She looks absolutely precious." She smiled back, listening to the two for a moment when a thought occurred...she...had tried to offer to Dasha alone but...
"Well...Liggs isn't a far drive through the tunnel roads to Faraday, and er, vice versa of course." She nodded as if confirming that for herself before continuing. "I actually told Dash once I was looking for a new place closer to the offices but...er...suffice to say I don't blame you if you don't remember hun." Afterall she had offered after a serious head injury. Sharing attention to the both of them however- "I...know I'm pretty much a stranger to you Alex, but I've already been looking at a few places in Faraday? The nicer ones are outta my price range, but if you guys er...didn't mind a third roomie, I know of a few you guys might really like. 3 Interpol incomes would make it pretty easy on each of us and...er..."
She was slowly realizing that, as awkward as it may have been originally to ask Dasha if she wanted to find a place, it was even weirder offering to Alex too. Her brain just decided to try and make it a more appetizing idea somehow...?
"T-there were a few with nice views of the islands...one was like, a street from the office...pretty sure one had a...walk in...wardrobe..." Her voice slowly dipped little by little till she lowered her head down behind her glass, lifting it only to chug about half the thing.

Dasha had not, in fact, forgotten that Sam had suggested moving together. She had, however, considered Alex much after the fact. Her stomach tightened very briefly at Sam's initial words, but… the thought of having the three of them all sharing a relatively nice space… It… could be good? Off the train the price per square foot went down, actually, so… And three budgets. If Alex could get in then… they could really expand, and Dasha already had the stuff for a fully furnished space pretty much so that would make the initial price drop even further, yeah? She could almost imagine it.
HHHHHHHHH. Dasha…. needed not to go off on this tangent in case it didn't work, but she could already visualize a nice two-story penthouse scape with a skyline facing out towards the floating islands and a nice living room with two couches and…. No, she was not vaguely superimposing some of Nik's house qualities on her own mental image but…. But…
"It'd…. it'd be nice?" she asked, her hand carefully curling around the drink as kind of an afterthought. It wouldn't get raised to her lips any time soon.

Alex sipped at her drink as Sam spoke, somewhere between wanting to get bitter again and still riding that smug high. Yeah Sam. Yeah, Dasha knew and Alex knew. 'Told Dasha she was looking for a place', more like tried to steal her roomie who to be fair she probably didn't know already had a roomie because Alex got to hear more of her life, eheh.
When she finally wrapped up, eyes slid from Sam back to Dasha. Her response was brief, but Alex was afraid she knew that look... That was... suspiciously close to the look that came between a 'you don't need that' and Dasha coming home with some new thing, or else Alex was just particularly paranoid and projecting that image on her right now. Eh, either way...
"We can think about it. Should probably try to get to know each other a bit more first, though." Siiiip. ...Another thought occurred, and Alex smirked slowly as she set her glass down. "Though you might wanna reconsider. The first day I came into work masculine you might get hell for living with a dude~" Alex didn't know too much about Sam's specific hang-ups. Dasha had only said she didn't get along with a lot of the office guys specifically, and that she was pretty into girls. (Had she specified if she was a lesbian or just seemed to prefer them? Hell if Alex remembered.) But it was enough to wonder if she'd get a reaction over it.
