Kai nodded. As far as he was concerned, letting the agents under his command know when they had done something downright fucking stupid was his job; letting that decision mar their record for the rest of their life wasn't, not unless they showed him they really needed it to. He wouldn't cover for her or anyone else forever, but he'd give them the benefit of the doubt.
"We'll all do what we can," he answered. Was that all? He.. guessed so... "Well... I told you I wouldn't keep you long." He was ready to dismiss her, he really was, but--
"Laska?" Damn his impulse. "Ah... Wha'd'you know about Z-Power?"

Dasha gave a nod. For all she was and all she wasn’t… she did feel so much better with all of that off her chest. Whether this catharsis would last or not was questionable at best, but for now at least she… could focus on going camping with Dad. She’d been in the process of trying to stand up again when he mentioned not keeping her long, but that proved to be a bit more difficult than Dasha would admit to. She paused, her eyebrow quirked briefly before relaxing again. “It’s got something to do with Alolan people and their Pokemon,” she answered very briefly going through her memories of what she’d read regarding it. “Why?”

He was ... going to quietly ignore the part of him that was huffy and indignant over it being reduced to basically 'some Alola thing' and instead took a deep breath in and out to ensure he could keep his tone even. "It's an ancient and sacred power we can call on in times of need, and.. In terms of strength, some compare it to Mega Evolution or rank it just a hair below for its limitations."
But why was he explaining this? Well... "I used to be able to use it, but.. ah, I guess I exaggerated earlier. The same blast that took my foot destroyed my Z-Ring." And... probably led to the premature death of his Venusaur, but that wasn't until years later, and he was pretty weathered by then, so it was harder to say for certain. But that wasn't relevant now. "I've been putting off getting another for too long and..."
He bit his lip hard enough it slightly broke the inside. Ah, shit stop that. "A Flamethrower probably wasn't enough to deal with Protosect and Flare Blitz was too risky, but an Inferno Overdrive might've--"
He clenched his mouth shut and averted his gaze. Coulda shoulda woulda but... "There's no guarantee it would've changed anything, but I don't wanna be left questioning again, so..." He sighed. "I guess I'm going on my own half-vacation half-work-trip in a few weeks. Gotta.. renew my knowledge, get another Ring, and pray it helps next time."
He was... rambling. When did he even care? Apparently now, but... "...Would you be interested in learning?"

Dasha’s lips pressed together as she listened to Kai talk about Z Power. Just shy of the power of Mega Evolution? Before she had a chance to ask more about the details in particular, however, Kaimana was talking on his experiences again. Oh.. Dasha frowned, her eyebrows knitting together some.
As he explained what he planned to do, however, she had to wonder what this was— ..Would you be interested in learning. Dasha bit her lip. If such a technique was truly powerful enough to have stopped the Protosect, then... yes, yes of course she wanted to learn it. It would guarantee that she had enough fire power to deal with whatever was in her way… And… Might even help her with her cause to return to Era.
And yet the thought of going all the way there seemed a bit excessive. She didn’t… want to waste time or … get caught up in something personal. Blue eyes flickered around the room and finally found their way back to the picture of Kaimana’s kids. An image of Lexi flashed through her mind, and her stomach did a brief flip-flop. Dasha frowned softly. “I’ll think about it and let you know after I come back,” she answered. “Going out camping with my dad…” She drew an unnecessarily deep breath.

If anything, he guessed he'd expected a worse reaction, even if he hoped for better. All the same, some perhaps immature part if him couldn't help but be a tad disappointed, even as the rest of him put on a weak but gentle smile and nodded. "No rush. You've got time to think it over."
Right, right. "If you don't wanna be out that long I understand too. I just.. feel like you're someone who could really use it is all." As in.. make good use the power, and.. maybe, for her own sake, could benefit from the experience? He.. could hope.
"For now." He put on a more genuine smile. "Enjoy your camping trip, and best of luck with a speedy recovery."

Someone who could really use it… Yeah, she supposed as much. But still, she would like to … just clear her head a bit before anything else. Wincing as she forced herself up, Dasha gave a small nod. “…Thanks,” she said pretty simply looking at him for maybe a moment longer before turning and starting towards the door. Ugh, she was kind of stiff and probably shouldn’t have sat down. Well, oh well. She still had to grab her things before going for sure, but then after that she’d be out of the office for a while. Out to Liggs or Alto or wherever Dad wanted to go— just not Faraday for a while.
She’d be out for about a week and a half in total. Almost all of that time was spent with little to no access to service in the area she and Dad were in anyways. It was nice to just… not have to think about the bigger picture of things, but by the time she got back, she was glad to have a proper shower again. It’d be another day until she checked her emails and emailed Kaimana about actually going on the trip. Talking with Dad had helped, and if it was more power then… yes of course she wanted it for Era’s sake.
