Shooting a smile at Dasha, Sam moved back towards the table and halted sharply at the sight of those bleeding knuckles...no. Ya know what? One mess too many today, she gave a fairly awkward nod and rather than ask why on earth that was a thing, she slowly slipped back into her side of the booth they were all sharing, deciding to ignore that to an almost eerie degree and looking at the kids. "Sorry about that, Dasha was just feeling a little under the weather. Probably just a misplaced ingrediant hit her stomache wrong or something." She flashed a look to Dasha, if she wanted to tell a different 'story' Sam wouldn't put up a fight to maintain that white little lie, just hoping to...brush past what felt like the 5th tire screech already today.
Maybe a social life wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

...Annnnnd that wasn’t helping anything. Dasha bit her lower lip, her gaze flickering from Kai’s hand to his eyes before glancing away. It wasn’t like he wasn’t an adult and couldn’t take care of himself just as she did so … whatever right now. She’d slide in after Sam and gave a nod at her words. “Good food just… maybe a spice or something got thrown in,” she echoed a bit softer before slowly taking in a breath.
Was… no one else going to say anything else? How many times was this going to become awkward? Ugh her stomach was still kind of upset. Maybe for a different reason, heh. Anyways, subject chage powers activate. “I…know you two just got here and there’s a lot to do in Faraday but— when I got here what caught my eye the most was the flying islands … Did you see those from the plane?” Welp here we go. “Would seeing those interest either of you? I’ve got a few Pokemon that can even fly up that way.”

Kai was caught somewhere between immense gratitude and Dasha no, but any chance he may have had at protest was long gone before he ever saw it, as Nalani's eyes were already shining three times brighter than their already fiery default appearance. "Would it!?" Kai was half-surprised she stayed in her seat. Well, this was happening apparently. "Can you actually go up on them and stuff??" And then a look at Kai. "How have you not already told us about this??"
"...Ah. Haven't actually been yet myself. Work and all." Or rather being a boring sack of shit when he wasn't working for the most part but sssshhhh he'd try to save a little face here.
Keone was a bit more torn. "They... seem really neat? But is it safe...?"

While the kids could easily move on, Sam's mind was...still a little dim. As much as she was trying to keep a smile on, when you had one thing after another THAT fast it wasn't all too easy to just pretend everything was still fine...okay. She was here literally TO keep the mood up, so with a long breath, she focused her head again. The islands right? Thats what they were talking about?
"I'm not surprised you didn't see them on your way in, the magnetic waves that keep them afloat must wreak havoc with the planes, probably make sure to give them a wide birth when they fly in." Shifting a little to get comfy, she looked to Keone, a bit more serious when talking to him now, having lost the bubbliness to her voice she'd had earlier for...multiple reasons, especially with him. "They're entirely safe if you stay away from the edges, some are so big they have a whole street of buildings on them. Some people even go looking for treasure because it used to be a mining city before it started to float."

Nalani was… a child after her own heart. Dasha could see it in her bright, fiery eyes. Her lips quirked upwards, and she gave a nod back to Kalani. As Kai spoke, however, Dasha’s brow quirked. Why hadn’t he gone and seen them, really?— Even workaholic her had and— Ah whatever. She wouldn’t ruin her own mood when Nalani’s had perked like that.
Dasha had been about to answer Keone when Sam did instead, so she’d only smile and nod at that. “There are smaller unstable ones, but the biggest ones can hold a lot of weight. Some Pokemon even make their homes there.” She… only after the fact sort of realized this might not be what Kai wanted to do with them their first day here but oh well?

Oh yeah?? Keone nodded at their explanations, giving it some thought. "I don't think I'd really wanna explore them to much like Lani.. but it'd be really neat to go up once," he decided.
How was Kai supposed to say no to those faces? .. Okay so he did easily enough pretty often kind of by nature but. Between both of the kids being interested and the girls seeming pretty eager to show them something cool and Nalani's earlier statement about wanting to make their first day memorable, well, it seemed like a pretty clear winner. "I suppose if you all want to, I'm pretty overdue for seeing them, too." Given Sam's note, he added, "We could even make it a treasure hunt of our own if you'd all be up for it."
... And then, "Just please take note that this is not permission to go near them unsupervised, just in case anyone is getting any bright ideas, Nalani."
She looked almost offended but with a little too much cheeky undertone to be taken seriously. "I'd never!" she insisted.

Keone seemed pretty okay with her reassurance, and even if it wasn't his thing, it was a pretty cool sight, so it was good he was thinking about seeing it at least once. It was nice Dasha was thinking about taking them too and...oh. Oh wait had it sounded like she was offering too? Ah...ugh fuck she was really not in the mood to make any plans like this right now but at the same time it felt really rude to back out even if it had just been a misunderstanding there.
For a moment she just thought about how her manager tended to convince her to plan her shows in advance even when she wasn't feeling it at the time...she couldn't do the lady justice in her head, but something about not letting the crap you feel now get in the way of a good time in the future...and hanging out with these kids, as awkward as it had been today, did seem like fun...
"Yeah...I'd be all for it." Though... "But, you guys are gonna be here for a while...Nalani you seem happy enough to explore, but is there anything you like Keone?" She offered a faint smile, almost trying to make subtle amends for earlier. "I heard something about superpowers earlier...do you like comic books or anything? Or...any other hobbies? I know my way around, I could even give you the grand tour of Sinclair next time it stops by. I used to live there afterall."

Dasha couldn’t help but grin a little at Nalani. The thought of her running off and climbing her first mountain was entirely too relatable and— She should probably not encourage this if she likened to keep Kai’s friendship. “Awesome,” she answered shifting a little in her seat— only for her stomach to shift with her and remind her that it was still upset. Right.
Her attention would flicker form Nalani to Keone as Sam spoke. Superpowers and comic books? Hmmm. She did know a couple of stores in Sinclair (and entirely too many in Faraday and maybe just a small unnecessary amount in Aleal), heh. “Sinclair is a giant train by the way,” she went on, reaching up and feeling through a couple locks of hair. “A train city actually.”

Keone's eye widened a bit as Sam pulled in his attention. "I love comics," he answered enthusiastically. "I had to leave most of my comics back ho-- back at mom's." That was a fair slip. Hopefully this would be a second home in time, but right now they hadn't even seen Kai's house in person. "But I brought most of the one's I'm currently following, and a couple issues of a series that went on hiatus last summer. My friends said I was reading too much into it but I really think they're foreshadowing a big crossover thing so I wanna have those to cross reference with stuff happening in--" He stopped and his cheeks colored a bit. "But. Yeah..."
Kai was trying not to smirk too hard. Looked like somebody'd found Keone's on button, hehe.
At Dasha's addition, Nalani piped up, "Oh yeah we did read about that! It's pretty hard to imagine though even with pictures online."
"I really wanted to see it too," Keone agreed.
"It comes through town about once a week, so you'll get plenty of chances to visit if you like it~" Kai assured them. Ah, it looked like they were about done with their food now, too, and Kai reached out to grab a few of the remaining chips before Keone's Pyukumuku wriggled too close to them. He imagined Dasha was probably done too if she was having trouble holding down food, though that did beg the question of--
"Ah, Laska. Were you wanting to visit the islands today or just soon?" He'd somehow gotten the vague impression of the prior, but realized it wasn't actually clear and this might make more sense. "If you're feeling a bit under the weather, maybe I could take them home to get settled in and we could all meet up for that another day. Or maybe later this evening if you were eager and think a bit of rest would be enough."

Sam was really glad to see her little prompt has set Keone off like that, she used to follow comics a little herself, heck that and anime was where she'd gotten the idea for Cat from in the first place. Even if she hated the spiderman jokes at her last name, that was one of her favorite series, and while it was probably a bit mainstream, she hoped she could keep up with Keone at least a little.
"Hey, I struggle to keep up a little but maybe if you get a chance you can tell me about whats been going on lately? I heard Marvel had another civil war so I am way out of the loop on this stuff." She offered a bright smile, hoping to see more of this excited version of Keone, and maybe a little too eager to have a mini expert catch her up on everything she'd been missing out on. At the prompting to visit the islands, she backed up into her seat, looking to Dasha to see if she was up for it.

Dasha smiled a little at, well, everything. From Keone’s gushing to Nalani’s excitement, to Sam’s words and just everything. It was so much better than any of the awkward that had already ensued.
As Kai’s question came about, however, she paused and … thought about it, really. As suddenly excited as she was to go— just soon might be better…. Give her and Sam and the kids and hell Kai a chance to recover from everything that had already happened and … yeah. “Ah— yeah maybe not today but soon,” she emphasized slowly reaching back and curling her fingers in her hair for a second.
Actually, she shifted a bit and looked down at her holowatch. “Maybe sometime this week?” She was already pulling up her calendar now. Efficient as ever.

"Oh yeah??" Someone who really wanted to hear his rambling was always nice. Though at the mention of Civil War, Keone fumbled a bit. "Ah-- I've read some of that, but a lot of the Marvel and DC stuff is.. kinda overwhelming? I like it! But I like a lot of smaller series more." He grinned slowly. "And manga~" Oh but, if she was interested in the Civil War then...? "But uh. Watching tv can give me headaches sometimes, but all the new superhero movies are worth at least one watch~" Except Deadpool, which dad said he couldn't watch for some reason. Actually he guessed it was less weird that dad said it and more that mom agreed, so morbid curiosity had him wondering how bad it could be, but oh wll. "So I know that Civil War? But..! If you wanna catch up on the comic side maybe we could both read it and talki about it?" What do you mean this was dad's work friend he shouldn't reasonably assume he'd be seeing all the time? This was a totally plausible request.
While Keone pretty much dominated Sam's attention or did his best to, the others were having their own line of conversation.
"Later in the week sounds fine~" Smirking a bit, he noted, "I can imagine traffic and everything's gonna be a bitch the last Friday before Christmas, so maybe we should try to get out of town then. Or if you wind up too busy with all the holidays, we could always move it to later."
Nalani frowned. "Aww? It would've been cool to mark the occasion though.."
Yeah but Dasha was feeling sick and sure Kai could have taken them by himself but it was her idea and also he was kind of a wreck?? Ahaha,,, Instead of pointing that out, though, he'd ask, "Do you really wanna go exploring before even unpacking?"
She blinked, then her gaze slid slowly off to one side. "Maaaaybe?"
He rolled his eyes affectionately. All right, she needed something more compelling? He'd play to her interests. "You know, if we wait, we can head to Liggs tomorrow morning and get your trainer info legally transferred so you might be able to train while we're there, but..."
<.< ... >.> Grinning sheepishly, she admitted, "Guess I can wait."

Oh this was so relaxing, just, the tension she'd created with Keone seeming to dissipate the happier he got talking about his interests. Maintaing a genuine sense of interest, she leaned over the table between them. So he wasn't into Marvel? Yeah, it was really hard to keep up, a lot of the recent events she had to figure out from context clues if she ever picked up a magazine on a whim. Like, apparently doctor octopus had become spiderman for a while? Then his brain was in a robot? Ugh, it was so weird to try and understand with so little to go on, but she did try. He was into manga too? And the films? Well that was good, didn't know what type of Manga he went for but-
"Did you see homecoming? I thought that was great. It was nice to see a hero who didn't really know what he was doing I think...? Like, the other spidermeeens...?" Was that how you said it? Probably not but- "Made him an expert after a short montage, while this spidey was alot more human." At the mention of Civil war, she nodded with a strong smile. "Yeah, definitely. I know a great comic book store on Sinclair, maybe when it's next in town I can take you there. It like, spans 3 stories and has tonnes of cool stuff in it too!~"

Dasha considered her calendar as Kai spoke. She didn’t have too many plans for the holidays (aside from at least one that was making her incredibly anxious if she considered it too long and therefore did, heh). Hmmmm. “It might be nice to get out early in the morning… maybe come back in the early afternoon,” she mumbled as much to herself as to Kai. Really, she could probably just block off that day if she really wanted to.
Heh…. Dasha slowly smirked a bit listening to Kalani. She really did want to do some serious training huh? Heh. “What kind of Pokemon do you have?” she asked a bit abruptly. “Maybe we can mock battle sometime…” Sometime when her stomach wasn’t doing weird twisty floppy things still for some reason.

HHHHHHNNNGHHHH. "I love Homecoming," Keone almost squeaked. "I mean I loved him in Civil War too but.. It was really nice seeing them kind of skim the backstory and jump more into the character? And! And the guy in the chair. I could probably be the guy in the chair." He briefly hesitated, then smiled sheepishly. "Or Nick Fury~" He'd go on to rave about what fun the comic store sounded like.
Meanwhile, Kai nodded and supposed he should set a reminder on his phone, too, to call the day before and double check plans. As he did, Nalani answered, "Several kinds~ I don't really have a 'type' I don't think. Or, though I guess a lot of them are pretty cute and girly, but not all." She grinned. "I sorta stole a few of mom and dad's, but the strongest I've raised myself is my Charmeleon Spyro. He's my starter~ Though my Gothita is getting pretty tough too."
"Notably, by 'stole', she more means they adopted her."
"They love me more~" she teased. "But yeah. If by 'mock' battle you mean like a sparring match, sure~" Nalani was great with the idea of no serious competition, and sure dad's co-workers must be very skilled, so going a bit easy on her wasn't too bad. But if she meant straight-up like a play pretend battle then Nalani might be kind of annoyed. She wouldn't get any better as a trainer just from that, now, would she?
