These days were always so busy. Between monitoring various groups and her own personal missions, Dasha felt like work would never end. While normally this wasn’t a bad thing, while normally she could just work herself silly, Dasha was… finding that… especially with the baby and all even at home... she was… getting really tired. She couldn’t actually tell if Alex was more or less annoyed with her more recently too for some reason or if that was just in her head too ugh. Her head was hurting more these days too, and ugh. She really… needed a break.
And so, despite herself, Dasha would take off a few days from work at least. She made sure all the paperwork was in and that everything she had been focusing on was delegated elsewhere as best it could be, but after that she was left with only the baby to deal with— which she could pawn off on Alex or the boys if she was really feeling it but… was mostly ok with right then. Yeah this was actually nice as far as breaks went.
It was on her second day off that Dasha made plans to go out with Sam. Seemed she had a bit of a break too and… Arceus they really needed to go shopping or to a spa or something. It had been far too long. Sitting around in hers and Alex’s apartment still as she waited for Sam to get there, Dasha distracted Starry with a … laser pointer she probably shouldn’t have found as amusing as she did. When either a knock or the doorbell rang, however, she’d stand up and start over to it.

While Dasha had been feeling herself getting more and more busy Sam was just starting to feel like she was starting to balance her schedules again, between her Cat work, her Sam work, and just sheer time to herself to be whichever of her personas she desired, she was actually doing pretty well at balancing her own life. All the same when Dasha had taken some time off work Sam had gotten a bit worried about her, not wanting to pry too heavily but sending her the odd text or phone call just to feel assured she was okay.
Eventually that had lead to them organizing this little day out together. In truth until now Sam hadn't realized Dasha also lived on the train city like she used to, but with an her parents still having a place there it wasn't too hard to stay with them for the day she planned to meet Dasha rather than fly halfway across the region and back on her Talonflame.
All the same, she was glad in general to be seeing her friend. It felt like it had been ages since they'd spent time together without Kai so she was pretty excited. She'd even pulled a little out of her Cat account incase the two of them wanted to splurge a little at the stores. Rocking up the Dasha's address, her bike likely parked on one of the lower floors, Sam had a bright smile as she knocked on the door, and would greet Dasha with a brief hug the moment she opened up. "Dashaaaa~ Why did you have to leave me at work alone? It's been a nightmare. I have no vitamin Dasha to counteract the Josh Virus. He's been blathering on about his wedding any chance he gets."
Of course Josh MAY have only talked about the wedding minimally but Sam always heard static when he talked, and it was very clear she was over-exagerating to amuse Dasha anyway.

As the door fell inward and she saw Sam, Dasha immediately brightened. The hug would be returned quickly before she eased back again. She might have said something but instead snorted sharply as Sam spoke. No Vitamin Dasha— If she had, for a moment, considered the fact that Sam had just basically called her the sun in retrospect, she might have been vaguely endeared. Instead, she was refocusing on the mention of Josh and rolling her eyes softly. “Weeeeeeellllll…..” she mock huffed back. “Someone has to.” She smiled a little playfully thereafter offering a small shrug.
Whether Dasha meant ‘deal with Josh’ or otherwise would be left to speculation as a rather high pitched trill reverberated through the room, and Dasha became aware of the baby again. The tiny creature floated on up and stared at Sam for a couple of seconds before shifting behind Dasha quickly thereafter. “Ah—“ Right. “This is part of the reason I needed a bit of a break from work…” she shifted a little scooping up the plushy cloud baby under one arm and smiling a bit weaker. “I’ve been taking care of a baby…” She… might have been warry of explaining this to anyone else, but Sam was both a close friend and a member of Interpol so yeah.

Sam beamed back as Dasha had such a smile on her face, always glad to see her happy. At the comment that "someone has to", she let off a faint chuckle. With how she'd compared her and Josh, it read as "someone has to be the one to keep you from killing him", which yeah, if anyone was gonna do that it'd be Dasha. Kai could stall her but it wouldn't last if she really wanted to go for it. "Yeah I guess they do, lucky for me I got you.~"
Not really having time to realize they may not be on the exact same page, she lifted her head at the odd little sound, recognizing a Pokémon cry when she heard one, but not recognizing what it was from, and when she finally saw the odd little creature she was definitely not surprised. She was surprised by the Pokémon of course, but the fact she didn't recognize it's cry wasn't a surprise since she didn't recognize the thing at all. Leaning over, hands on her knees as she bent forwards, her eyes widened as she took the odd little creature in. "Oh wow...did...did this hatch for you or something? I can't say I've ever seen one like this before...erm...is this some sort of Eran variant of something?" She took a long shot, wondering if there was some long-hatching egg Dasha had brought from her home as an explanation as to why she didn't recognize it.

The small creature’s eyes seemed to grow as she stared at Sam for a moment before looking up to Dasha uncertainly. The latter shifted her grip some and slowly pat the gaseous creature in reassurance.
“Actually, I found her in Alola when I went on that trip with Kaimana a while back,” Dasha began with a small smile. “We’ve been doing some research into her species but haven’t found anything definitive yet.” Or rather, what they had found was concerning enough that they needed to be sure that that was what she was before any assumptions could be made thereafter. But yeah. “She’s very much a baby in many ways, though, so Alex and I have been taking turns taking care of her.”
The baby, meanwhile, seemed to soothe some and then slowly reach both ear-arms out to Sam- maybe even asking for a handshake there. Dasha smirked a little. “She’s been good so far.” Aside from tantrums, dramatic hijinks, and the like that transpired from time to time.

Sam's own eyes stayed wide as she looked at the rather odd and unique Pokemon, watching the way it's patterns seemed to shift a little, not unnervingly so or anything, but it was clear they weren't entirely stationary. It almost felt like she was looking through the pokemon more than she was looking at it. As it's ear arms reached out she smiled softly and reached out herself, offering her hand for it to shake, or shaking it's 'hands' if it didn't take the innitiative.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you little one." She offered a light smile, trying to stay at it's eye level so she didn't seem too intimidating to it on a first meeting, glancing up to Dasha. "I'm glad you've been behaving for my pal Dasha here...does she-oh." She smirked and turned her eyes back to the pokemon and playfully asked. "Do you have a name?~"

A small chirping noise reverberated from the tiny Pokemon as the human shook her ear-hand. Oh! She liked this human already! Never mind that she liked basically every human she laid eyes on! Dasha, meanwhile, beamed quite a bit at the sheer cuteness of her small friend and her regular-sized friend. The question, however, had her chuckling softly.
“I’ve been calling her Starry…” Dasha mused softly back. The tiny Pokemon in question chirped again in agreeance. She was not sure of her own specieshood, but she did like the name Dasha had given— or perhaps maybe just the tone of voice she used when saying it. It was nice and warm and fuzzy and yeah! “Both for the way her body is and the fact she seems to really love Minior.” Dasha smirked a little softly. “Even if she clearly isn’t one of those.” She did kind of look like a core form if you squinted long enough, but those ear-arm things really did set her apart among other things. “I want to take her to the Star Festival at some point.” She mumbled a little after the fact.

Sam gently squeezed the puffs at the end of Starry's antennae, enjoying how gentle and soft the Pokemon felt while careful not to hurt it either, pushing herself back up and meeting Dasha more at eye level now as the two talked. "Starry huh?~ Cute name for a cute little gal.~" With a bright smile she reached down and lightly ruffled the top of the Pokemon's head, catching the comment about the star festival and grinning wide. "Oh you so should!~ If she loves Minior then that's definitely somewhere you should take them. Assuming she won't be scared of the fire works...then again she'd just see all the brilliant lights she's made up of so they can't be too scary for her.~"
All the same though, if Starry was the type to be scared it probably wasn't best to force her to go and see it, but if she liked Minior so much, it'd at least be good to take her a day when fireworks weren't scheduled. "Does the little one wanna come shopping with us today?~ Maybe Auntie Sam could buy her a toy or a little bow?~"

Dasha beamed a bit at Sam’s words. Even if a certain someone had been insisting on other names, she continued to call her baby Starry and that was that, hmph. The thought of fireworks, however, did make her stop and consider going to Star Fest. Hm, well… She could always play it by ear, right? Not like the baby had the power to summon ultra-dimensional portals and drop a beast or two in on the situation if she was too scared or something… hahaahahah that would be silly.
The small sphere, however, would chirp again at Sam’s follow up words, and a small chuckle resounded from Dasha. “It would be good to get her out,” she hummed softly. “Wanna go shopping with us, sweetie~?” Of course the baby wanted to, and while Dasha and Kaimana had agreed that their little secret still needed to be a secret that didn’t mean she couldn’t go out and see things now and again. Shifting her hand to her pocket, Dasha fished out a Pokeball and released Heather, her Zoroark, who preferred to take the form of Snowflake the Absol almost exclusively. Dasha almost had to take a double take before remembering this fact. Ah, right, she had released the right ball though, right? Right. “Heather do you mind?” The Zoroark was quick to whip up an illusion, coating the baby as a slightly fluffier Igglybuff thereafter. “Thanks.”

Giggling at Starry's excitement, already thinking of little presents she could buy the little critter to hear her excited little sounds, Sam was already looking forward to today, but now even more so. She had her best friend and some pleasant company to enjoy, as well as a cute little baby to dote over as they shopped. As attention was called to the Zoroark she was a bit confused, watching as Starry was shifted into an Igglybuff, snorting a little at the cute pink ball fluffing up infront of her.
"Hey I know there's the odd thief on Sinclair but I doubt any would steal a rare Pokemon from your arms. You really need to disguise her like that?"

A soft breath drew in and out of Dasha. “As far as I can tell, she doesn’t seem to know any attacks,” she answered frowning a bit. “I’d rather her not attract any unwanted attention and then be unable to do anything about it of her own accord.” The baby, meanwhile, looked over at Sam and offered a bright smile all the same. The Zoroark, meanwhile, shifted a bit taking on the form of a snowy Pikachu instead. It was smaller, a bit more conscience, a little less conspicuous perhaps. Either way, it was clear Heather was ready to go out somewhere pawing the ground and looking upwards again. “Right— maybe shopping first?” Dasha asked with a small grin.

"Oh I see, so like a little Abra then, only without the ability to teleport away if things get dangerous." Giving a soft nod to show she understood for sure, Sam didn't have much else against the little disguise and gestured for her to follow as they started walking along out of the more residential sections of the train city. "Yeah we best get to some shopping.~ We can get some nice new outfits for the festival or something, really show off!~ I've been saving up for a day like this so we can really splurge a little!~" Grinning wide, genuinely excited for this, she had a little skip to her step as she walked.
After a short trip between the cars, they were in the second car's main mall like section, giggling a little as she pulled out a small list, pulling up beside Dasha and showing her it. "I went online this morning and made a list of all the places having sales or selling specific outfits cheap, even a few I thought you'd fancy of course.~"

Dasha grinned a bit too hard at Sam’s words. She too had been saving up a bit here and there both for the Star Festival itself and whatever ‘prep’ came with it. She wasn’t going to participate but knew plenty of people who were, so of course she had to be ready with flowers and charms as gifts and glam. “We have to go shopping during the Star Festival too~!” she added in with a grin. Still, she could afford to splurge for today too or so she told herself.
As the entered the mall area, Dasha’s eyes flickered around, drawing over the various shops she knew and had come to love over the… year if not longer that she’d been there. Her eyes flickered back, however, as Sam started speaking “Oh perfect~ I have a couple coupons saved on my phone to Feather Dancers~!” Despite the store being named after a signature move, it had so very little to do with feathers or dancers aside form a tiny ballet section in the back.
Starry, meanwhile, was squeaking softly as she looked about. She had seen the mall car a few times but not nearly enough times to get a good idea or feel for where things were. Everything was new, bright, and fascinating as it could be. Dasha’s hand shifted as she gently pet the baby. “Which store first, sweetie?” she giggled softly. The concealed child looked form one to another before raising her ‘arms’ and pointing to a cute shoe store. Oohh~ Well, that was one way to start. Looking back at Sam, Dasha flashed a grin. “Maybe we can find some cute sandals now that the air’s warmed up enough.” In certain areas and at certain times of the day, anyways.

Listening to Dasha as she let Starry take the reigns, she couldn't help but giggle at the illusion coated pokemon and follow its eyes. Shoes huh? She never tended to be as fussed on shoes as others, they were always the least prominent part of any outfit she made, but they could still be nice. She just tended to prefer comfort over anything else in this case. Still- "Ah I can go for that.~ You been looking for a new set of heels princess?~" Nudging her playfully as they moved into the store, Sam's eyes mostly focused on a section that had less formal options and more trainers and sports shoes, but for the most part stuck to Dasha's side to see where she drifted to herself.

Dasha scoffed softly at Sam’s tease. “When did I get downgraded to princess?” she asked before smirking a bit confidently again. “I’ll always be a queen~” Never mind that she used those terms interchangeably depending on what sounded better but yes yes of course she could get ‘mad’ in this instance.
As they got in, however, Dasha assessed the racks slowly before starting off in the lower heels section where the sandals and various sandal-esque dress shoes would be. Slowing as she got to the first rack, Dasha hummed a bit as she looked each over. That one was ok. That one was reasonable. Oh that one was grorgeous, and Dasha would be shifting Starry to reach forward and clasp it. It was technically a heel but hardly confining to the feet in any way. “These would be so cute with a white or silver dress~” she mused glancing back in the direction of Sam.
