It had been a few days since Dasha had been off the force from her last mission. Sam had a bit of work of her own to focus on, and didn't want to visit her friend stressed. All the same though, she wanted to catch her before she left, show her someone at the office par the Commander wanted to drop in for more than a passing visit. Heck, if all she could manage was a passing visit, that'd be far better than looking like she was ignoring her entirely, what with Dasha being her only friend at the office and...well Dasha got along with people better than her but from what little she knew they were the only pair to share that sort of closer friendship. She'd be a pretty shitty friend not to see her when she was locked to some sterile bed.
Managing to finagle an afternoon off by finishing off some case filing early and handing another off to Josh, Sam grabbed a few things from the shops on her way over to the hospital, managing to find Dasha's room easy enough, quietly knocking her knuckles against the back of the door before easing it open just enough to be seen.
"Heeey Dash...You got time for a visitor?" She gave a faint chuckle before adding. "Or is this where I learn the hard way you got amnesia from that injury?"

The last couple of days had been rough for Dasha— in more ways than one. At the very least, she was starting to feel better on a constant circuit: the doctors having finally found a good balance of her medication and whatever else. She wanted to leave, but between Kaimana, her family, and the hospital entity itself, she found herself unable to until she met a long list of stability requirements. It was... vaguely annoying now, but there wasn’t much she could do so she just… dealt with it.
As Sam opened the door, Dasha could be seen propped up on the bed, a phone in her hand as she scrolled through something or another. Snowflake had curled at the bottom and seemed to look up in turn as well. Those words had a smile crawling up onto her face, but Dasha paused a bit too long before speaking. “Sam, right? Only my best office friend,” she answered setting her phone down in her lap. “Thanks for….dropping in”
Snowflake lurched off the bed, closing distance and pressing up against Sam very briefly before following after her trying to lead her over to the bed and the table and chair that was next to it.

Sam did have the briefest moment of worry with the silence, but let out a faint breath of relief through her nose as Dasha spoke again, though, her specific choice of words did bring a faint giggle, not for the words themselves but what she planned to do with them. Easing her usual dufflebag she took to work off her shoulder, she gave a fake gasp and held a hand to her chest, a clear dramatic performance of "offense taken" being displayed. "An office friend? Only an office friend? OOo. Dash honey you know how to cut deep don'tcha?" Smirking a little more brightly , she rested the back of her hand dramatically against her forehead, continuing "Fuck...this must be what it feels like for a guy to be friendzoned...those poor souls."
Her performance kicking into a small series of giggles to show how little investment she had in what she said, she briefly crouched down to give Snow a pet at the back of it's neck before moving in to the table and desk, resting her back down beside her as she took a seat, getting a closer look at Dasha and how she was holding up, though despite whatever she'd been through, Human medicine wasn't toooo far off poke'-medicine these days, so things could have been much worse her first day in.
"Seriously though, s'good to see you. They been feeding you well?" She leaned in and whispered. "Blink 3 times if you need me to go get you some better food."

Pfffff Sam. Dasha rolled her eyes briefly before shaking her head a little (ow, don’t do that Dash that still hurt). “Extra special work friend, five gold stars,” she replied back trying not to sound too sarcastic— because in reality Sam was such a good friend? Really. Dasha was briefly thankful that her meds had been balanced and she was less emotional in general than a few days ago or this very thought might have driven her to tears.
Snowflake was pleased with the pat and rather quickly returned to her place at the foot of the bed as Sam moved towards the desk. Laying up against Dasha’s side away from the table, however, she settled again comfortably. Dasha shifted just a bit to accommodate, but her attention remained mostly on Sam. The question quirked her lips up a little and she found herself blinking three times in rapid succession just for that. “It’s not too bad— my brother smuggled me in some pizza the other day,” she answered. “Though the nurse wasn’t too happy.” Another eye roll that kind of hurt her head actually.

The red head was certainly happy to see Dash still had a sense of humor while she was stuck in her, though she could tell some of her reactions were perhaps a little constrained, that was to be expected when under...well, any form of medication really. She eased back in her own seat a little to get comfortable but still eager to hear anything Dasha had to say, chuckling a little at the pizza comment. "Ooooh I feel like you told me his name before...Mickey or...something similar..." She lightly ruffled the side of her head, genuinely struggling with the name for the moment but majorly shrugging it off, reaching down to her side and pulling a small box out of her dufflebag.
It was oddly fancy, the sort of gift box wrapped with a bow you could buy pre-made at a store, usually fairly expensive and meant as a christmas or birthday present, but Sam laid it out on the table between them, spinning it around as she eased open the lid. "Well if you fancy a desert, I made sure to bring you a little something sweet to tide you over while you're stuck in here.~"

“Nik, short for Nikodorkus” Dasha corrected, smirking a bit at that. It almost sounded like ‘Nicodemus’ but—Anyways. Dasha’s attention would shift, however, as Sam pulled out a box. The fanciness of it did not escape her, nor did the smell as the lid opened. Was that.. did she detect chocolate? Of course, it had to be, or some part of it was. Her nose never lied about that. They were fancy sweets too—
“You are too sweet,” Dasha spoke before thinking about it. Right after, she paused before smiling a little softer. “Thank you..” She shifted a little in thed bed and fished up one of the round chocolates before biting into it slowly. The back of her head pounded a little harder, but she tried to just focus on the flavor for a moment. “Mmmm pretty sure I need an IV of this…”

"An IV? Geeze hun, you can be sweet enough without us pumping chocolate into your veins. Anymore and the whole of HQ is gonna get tooth decay just from lookin' at ya.~" Chuckling a little as she teased right back, a part of her was just doing her best to keep the mood light, knowing the girl opposite her likely wasn't in any way close to her usual energy, not that she was overly energetic to begin with or anything, but to Sam at leas it was clear she was still likely feeling some pain from her injuries.
"So er...now that I've softened you up with tasty goods, fancy telling me how one of our best agents wound up in here?" She gave a cheeky smirk as she continued. "Commander gave us the gist of some accident, but the details...well with how big a serious face he can pull it almost felt rude to ask more than he already gave us."

She… probably shouldn’t have been smiling as smugly as she was at imagining HQ finding her sweet just… in general. She didn’t want to be walked on or fawned over but… work was still important to her, and appearances were just as much. As Sam went on, however, Dasha’s features did fall some. Blue eyes flickered forward, and took in a long, slow breath.
“I…” The sudden image of the Protosect exploding flashed through her mind and mixed with the reactions everyone had had up to that point. Dasha flinched slightly and frowned. A hand reached for Snowflake feeling through her smooth mane feathers. “Ran at a prototype Genesect that was starting to explode hoping I could stop it…” she spoke quieter, weaker than before. You’d think with how much she’d already been scolded for it, she’d be numb to it but…. Apparently not. “It exploded anyways and …. I guess I hit my head or something? It’s… fuzzy at best…” So much of her memory had been flip-flopped and turned around that she just… didn’t even know fully all of what happened.

Sam rested back in her chair as she listened to Dash tell her version of events. The most they'd really gotten at the office was the bare minimum of events, the sort of thing you'd hear about a co-worker who suddenly got into an accident at any other workplace with perhaps just a little more care and consideration behind the delivery, but hearing Dasha tell it, she didn't really get all that much more. It was good to hear she at least had a good reason for putting herself in danger...well, as good a reason as any agent could have at least. If the creature was going to explode it would be best to stop it so they could recover something...
"...Hey. At least you made it out yeah?" Her smile was soft and she was fairly casual about the matter. She didn't really realize how many lectures Dasha probably had about this already, she just didn't have any reason to give one herself, easing the table between them to one side, she scooched her chair up to Dasha's bedside, lightly resting a hand over hers (though she'd take it back and brush it off if Dasha reacted adversely to that attempted motion) "Things can be pretty dangerous out in the field, big and small missions alike. Best we can hope is we make it back okay...heh. I mean-" She chuckled a little into her other hand. "Hun you've faced Veria's most wanted AND went after a group that was tracking a legendary. You've been in the region what, less than a year? You've already survived worse shit than I have in my entire Career. Honest to god I think you've pretty much proven you're more immortal than that Konto Kid at this point.~"
She'd give Dasha's hand a light squeeze before pulling back, assuming Dash had let her old it in the first place of course. Crossing her arms over her chest, she'd smirk faintly as she tried to keep the mood light. "Besides, you've kept most of your memory by the looks of it...oh no...unless..." She feigned a dramatic response, something faintly believeable but somehow also over the top, a trick she used as Cat to play up a comedically sly comment as she leaned in to half-whisper. "You remember there's a sale at Garde-noir's Sinclair branch next week right. Dear god Dasha tell me you didn't lose the important stuff."

At least she made it out, yeah. There was that. Feeling the hand on hers, she glanced down briefly before raising her gaze again to Sam. That was… weirdly nice even if she didn’t have much time to really think about it. The reassurance even more so. More immortal than Konto, heh, she didn’t know about that but… She did breathe a little lighter, and Sam’s hand squeeze would be returned at least until Sam pulled it back in a dramatic motion.
A giggle escaped from Dasha at Sam’s motions and words and warmth did come to her features briefly. She…. She had forgotten but her phone certainly hadn’t. There were post-it notes all up and down her cellphone calendar marked with events and details. It would take her quite a bit longer to realize that short term memories might actually be harder to come by in time. “I’ll have to escape here before then,” she answered instead, flashing Sam a small grin. “Cannot miss that sale, it only happens twice a year.”
Snowflake rolled her eyes but cooed a bit after a moment. It was… at least good to hear Dsaha perking up a bit. The latter glanced over and reached again to pet her. “I… actually managed Mega Evolution during the battle too,” she commented after a moment. “Snowflake did so well…” The Absol smiled deeply, proudly. They had synched truly well together for a bit there.

Heh, in all honestly she hadn't expected Dasha to remember, but it was good she took the tease in good humor, Sam letting out just a faint chuckle as she crossed her arms under her chest, leaning back a little in her chair. "Yeah I mean, 50% off most of the dresses? Pretty sure we're gonna be the criminals taking advantage of that!~"
Her little tease kept things light at least, especially with the good news that Dasha had achieved mega evolution. Despite interogating those brats with her Sam still hadn't managed to pull it off with her own Sceptile, so the news was definitely a pleasant surprise. Plus...maybe this was a small bit of smugness in her, and a bit of a favoring of her own gender, but that solidified in her head that she was probably a more effective agent than even the commander on that mission.
Though she wouldn't be dumb enough to say that aloud.
"Really? Well aren't you a little secret weapon in the making, ay snow?~" She leaned over and just lightly pet the back of the pokemon's head if they allowed it, flashing a smirk back to Dasha. "Havn't managed it yet myself...have you done it before? Or was this like a trial by fire for you two?"

Shopping criminals— heh. Clear out the store and pay it only half the price of its own volition. She liked the sound of that a bit too much. The thought was pushed back, however, as she felt the warm pride of Sam’s pride in her Absol. Snowflake, meanwhile, leaned into Sam’s hand a little, accepting the praise as it came. She liked Sam, thought Sam was good for Dasha, and was just in general pleased that Dasha had a friend like this.
At the question, Dasha took a slow breath. “We’d practiced briefly,” she answered. “Got Snow up to it but… we’d never battled at that point… I didn’t realize she became so wicked fast when she Mega Evolved…” Had she been faster than her own ride Arcanine? Yes, as far as Dasha could remember anyways. Perhaps that was where the bulk of her strength lay upon Mega Evolving. Dasha would keep that in mind as best she could. “I’m… going to get better at using it for sure…” She had to.
Snowflake trilled a bit scoldingly. Dasha smiled weakly. “Once we get out of the hospital and.. maybe go on vacation for a bit…” The Absol huffed and nodded. That would do for now, she supposed. “Sorry to leave you in the office with just Ciara and the boys…”

Sam enjoyed stroking and petting snow for a moment as she listened to Dasha. While she herself had been practicing, she hadn't managed to achieve mega evolution just yet, but she wouldn't harp on it while Dasha wasn't feeling well, her hand drawing back and resting on her lap as she took it all in. "Well, good thing it worked huh? And you, little speedster..." She lightly pressed a closed fist between the eyes of the absol, a human to pokemon version of a fistbump in her mind, very gentle too. "Good job keeping an eye on her."
As the vacation was mentioned however, Sam shifted in her seat curiously, narrowing her eyes while quirking a brow. She wasn't exactly foreign to taking vacations herself for her job but, at the same time... "Heh, hope you were planning this before...don't want you thinking you suddenly need to get away from everything just for one slip up...boss didn't yell you out too much did he?"

Red eyes closed briefly, and a small purr escaped from Snowflake. She’d done the best she could. She’d fought the hardest she could. Even if she’d all but had a heart attack at Dasha’s decisions within the chaos, she was at least thankful prior to that they had done so well.
A soft sigh escaped from Dasha as Sam went on, however. “I….” she frowned, her hands balling into fists. “Really don’t want to be around the office for a while…I don’t… want to see Kaimana’s face…” Her gaze flicked away, and she shrugged only to wince at how that hurt her back. “And…. my dad is around, and he suggested we go camping…” Looking back to Sam, Dasha offered a brief smile. “I haven’t gone camping with him since I was a teenager and… it sounds like a lot of fun…” Wrestling bears, climbing trees, watching the sky late at night. “So I figure now is a good time… to get away.”

As Dasha's dad was brought into things, Sam didn't feel like she could as easily re-assure Dasha that she didn't NEED a vacation. If it was for family she should take the chance, but at the same time the worry that she couldn't face the commander...She let out a sigh through her nose, shifting in her seat and flashing a brief glance to the absol on the bed, smiling a little brighter as she met it's eyes before looking back to Dasha.
"Hey just...remember you're one of the best agents we have...and make sure you don't make that vacation permanent yeah?" She lifted her arm towards Dasha, instinctively going to tap her forehead before recalling the injury and laughing at herself before she made contact. "Sorry, being a bit air headed today...enjoy your vacation though yeah? Heck if camping dosn't cut it for ya i can suggest a nice hotel in Hoenn that'll help ya relax~"
Her smirk was just a little cheeky as she continued to tease, her eyes briefly drifting as she caught half a memory, before realizing and dipping down into the bag she'd brought, pulling out a small makeup bag. "Oh! I thought while you're stuck here...you may at least wanna make sure you're..." Her words halted as she realized that, while this seemed like a good idea in her head, bringing someone makeup could be a pseudo offensive gift.
"...Not gonna lie...I'm swiftly realizing how dumb this idea might have been..." She let out a nervous 'heh' before lifting a small bottle out of the bag, trying to save face as she asked as a half joke. "Did i at least guess your eye shadow right...?"
