Some of Miss Tachibana’s tension lifting once her friend went back to her own endeavour, the dark haired girl remained quiet as she focused herself up like she did when handling a blade. Taking in a deep breath before letting it out like an almost hissing sigh as she tried to enter the same ‘zone’ she would go into when practicing moves and combinations of blade work, Saya’s eyes slipped shut for several seconds before opening again with a greater sense of clarity and sharpness in her vision. And then she pulled the trigger.
Still not quite there… Another of the shots seeming to whizz past the torkoal target, she tried not to be discouraged as she rattled off another and then another, not seeming to get the hang of things until her last pellet finally tipped over the big bullseye she was aiming for. It went down? Eyes widening as finally the tortoise tumbled down and looking in disbelief for a few seconds, while it seemed more luck than judgement that Miss Tachibana had made her mark, a smile spread across her face all the same.
“I did it, at last!” Glancing toward Yumi and wondering what the other woman might have made of her efforts, like a child waiting to get a pat on the head from a parent Saya beamed expectantly at her red haired friend, finding a strange sense of accomplishment in what she had just done…

Taking shots along with Saya between each of her own, Saya certainly seemed to be getting closer with each shot, and she was purposely aiming at the still ones, though she did use her last shot on a moving target to make sure she could pull it off. All the practice meant none of their shots counted towards a prize, since you were meant to do it alone, but she was still sure she could pull it off...
"Yeah! Nice one!~" She beamed back at Saya, then the irritated looking game host, rolling her eyes and putting some money on the counter, holding up a finger to Saya and loading up her gun with a fresh set of rounds. "Gimme a sec, and I'll get you your reward.~"
Slapping the gun back together, Yumi brought it to her eye and aimed right for the moving targets in the back. The moment the game was reset and she was sure the guy was looking so he couldn't call her a cheater, he shot one after the other, each pellet pinging off it's metal target, and once all the moving targets were down, she used her last shot to hit a still target at the front just so the bullet didn't go to waste, cheekily lifting the gun to her mouth and blowing over the barrel.
"...Lass how'd you-" "Lets just say I've got practice. I'll take one of the big ones.~"
A little unnerved, the man followed along and grabbed one of the big ursaring plushes off the wall, it was chibi styled, but still fairly grouchy looking. Yumi took it, and offered it right across to Saya. "You're reward, my student.~"

This is… Silent as she knew how much concentration it had taken of her own to hit just a single target, the hairs on the back of Miss Tachibana’s neck stood on end after one by one the dancing figures on their gallery seemed to drop down in time with the snapping sound of Yumi’s rifle. “…Incredible!” Practically holding her breath or maybe even having it taken away as she watched the sublime marksmanship that her friend had demonstrated, in a breathy gasp Saya gushed with admiration as she saw her roomie’s skill.
“That was amazing, Yumi-san!” The redhead usually shyer and subtler about the skills she had, Miss Tachibana beamed with pride at what the woman had just shown off, having found a new level of respect for what the girl she lived with could do. Practicing the tricky path of swordsmanship herself and her own dabbling with gunplay just now showing her it was no easy feat what Yumi had done, while those in Saya’s past had largely scorned the people who used firearms, she now wondered if that was more a case of stubbornness and jealously than the superiority they tried to project?
“Ah, a toy Kuma?” Recognising the shape of the creature she was handed as rather similar to the bears from her home, whilst Miss Tachibana wasn’t particularly familiar with Ursaring herself, she giggled lightly at the gift as she accidentally let a little of her native language slip through her filter. Usually tending to catch and convert the words she thought of but every once in a while the girl distracted or otherwise unable to conjure and equivalent, in this regard her awe at both the acheivement of her partner and the prize she was given made her a little lax as she studied the fluffy brown being. A large and cumbersome thing but not so bad that someone as robust as Saya would struggled with it, she turned it over and smiled at the slightly grumpy expression it wore, thinking of where she could put it.
“Perhaps we should make him a guest in our living room when we get back?” Definitely snuggly and comfortable enough to ‘live’ on their couch and cuddle up to or lean upon, he would make a fine addition to their household, that was for sure. Tossing the bear up and then catching him again like a little girl, the dark haired girl turned him around and flopped the long forepaws he possessed over her shoulders, wearing the brown teddy a bit like a backpack as she held his hands.
“Should we have another round of this or see what else the festival has?” Grinning like a Cheshire cat at her prize and then looking around the other booths and stalls that surrounded them curiously, since Yumi had been so keen on stopping for the candied apples and shooting, Saya wondered if there was anywhere else she wished to visit?

"Ah it was nothing, just something I picked up from an old job.~" Making sure she put her gun down on the stall to make sure they could move on without much issue, she blinked at the mention of the name "kuma" before recalling that was Kantonese for Bear, which made enough sense once the memory was triggered. "As for what to do...well firstly, I think we best leave this guy before he accuses me of cheating or something.~ Hard to play any of the other games once someone calls you out on that, true or not.~"
Once the two had goten moving a little, Yumi thought about keeping the bear in their livingroom, smirking at the idea of falling into it after a long day working on some new piece of equipment for the island. Their water tower was only half done afterall, and they had a few other ideas on the horizon. "As for the bear, maybe we should give him a name before we pick where he lives?~ Any ideas?"

“A name for him…? I suppose Kuma-san is a bit plain…” Pausing in place and pursing her lips slightly as she saw the sense in Yumi’s suggestion, Miss Tachibana hummed a little to herself as she tried to come up with a name for the shaggy toy that was currently a piggy on her back. “Hoshiguma?” Instinctively falling back into her native language when she looked for something poetic and personal to name this plush pet, Saya paused for a second at the name and then looked toward her redheaded friend, remembering she probably wouldn’t know what it mean.
“It means ‘Star Bear’ in my native tongue, though perhaps we would do better naming him using your language, he is our child after all?” Explaining her choice before giving a little chuckle and grinning at the notion that the two of them now had a ‘son’, there was a childish sense of amusement in picturing the two of them as parents that Miss Tachibana simply couldn’t ignore. Sure they were young but there seemed something so perfect about playing house with Yumi.
“You won him after all, so perhaps it is right you choose his name?” Smiling at the woman opposite and unable to shake the idea that Yumi’s show of prowess had definitely earned her the right of spiritual ‘father’ to this bear, though the dark haired woman had rebelled against notions of patriarchal dominance in her home, she also found that the wise and worldly redhead perhaps had a hint more control in their dynamic. Not something she minded since she owed the girl so very much and she had always taken care of her so well, she had noted that perhaps the reason she enjoyed cooking for her fellow femme was partly because she quietly liked taking up a more wifely role for the woman on occasion…

"Hoshiguma?" She was indeed a little lost on the name, not knowing enough Kantonese to atually recognize that, but Saya seemed to explain soon enough. A stylistic way of saying Star Bear huh? That was actually pretty nice and it was showing in Yumi's smile. She didn't plan to 'use' the bear herself, it was a gift afterall, but she certainly approved of the name.
"Oh er...w-well we're hardly it's parents but...yeah. Hoshiguma genuinely sounds like a pretty good name, so stick with it yeah? You've got a pretty good knack for names.~" Lightly nudging Saya's side, Yumi would adjust the small bag she had to keep her comfortable as she walked. "Why don't you pick the next stall anyway?~ Anything that catches your eye is fine.~"

“If you’re sure, Yumi-san… By the way, I only meant we would be parents in a more playful sense~” Noting the slight nervousness that seemed to saturate her companion at her choice of words, after giving a small bow to Yumi out of appreciation at her compliment and decision to leave the name up to her, Miss Tachibana took one of her hands off Hoshiguma’s big forelimbs and lightly squeezed the forearm of the girl to reassure her. Remembering how awkward things had gotten when they had addressed matters of intimacy not all that long ago and by now realizing that the redhead was far more sensitive than she liked to acknowledge, Saya hoped that she hadn’t spoken a little too foolishly for her friend to forget.
“So, now it is my choice, is it?” Moving on from the issue and letting her hand slip away from the arm of her companion slowly before securing that of her large bear’s once more, Saya looked around her surroundings and began to stroll along slowly as she scrutinized the stands around her. Looking for something to steal her attention and inspire her toward similar greatness, Miss Tachibana gave a soft hum as she studied what was in her environment before letting her eyes linger on something that looked rather lovely.
“Oh my, such fluidity and grace… What is that?” Blinking as she saw a set of fins dancing delicately like the ruffled skirt of a flamenco artist, a large tank filled with water stole the attention of Saya as she stared as a mass of white and amber Goldeen seeming to waltz with one another so elegantly. Dozens of the creatures seeming to mingle together as people stood with large nets around the pool-like aquarium in which they were housed, it seemed that the idea was rather a simple one in this regard. Moving up to the upper decking of this tank and using one’s net to swoop up a fish of their choice, each seemed to have a tiny band of colour around the horns atop their head which would dictate the prize one would receive for participation. Easy, really.
“They’re beautiful…” Miss Tachibana however had no idea she was staring at what was for all intents and purposes a rather oversized version of a goldfish catching game that was intended for young children more than anything, and instead assumed she was looking at some sort of show or performance that many others seemed to overlook. Entranced by the beauty of the fish that shared her own sapphire-like blue eyes and moving over to them almost in a trance, Saya peered through the glass that separated her from these waltzing wonders, never having seen such an aquatic marvel in all her life…
