That...got a better reception than she expected. Even from Alex. The mere fact they were gonna even consider it, probably given time admittedly, was a lot more than Sam had hoped for halfway through that, and Dasha seemed...kinda eager? Wow. Much better than she'd expected. Lifting up from her drink, she gave a soft nod, much more at ease again. "Yeah...yeah best to make sure all three of us get along first I guess." With a light shrug she took a sip of what was left of her drink, lowering it slowly as she narrowed her eyes, wondering what Alex meant...Presenting masculine was one thing but the fact she said they'd be living with a dude confirmed she genuinely considered herself as one when she did.
Sam...hadn't really encountered this before personally...and while she didn't fully know it, the mere fact Alex had been introduced female was what seemed to be the hinge of her reaction.
"Ah fuck 'em.~" She shrugged with a brighter smirk. "An Asexual, a Lesbian, and a dude under one rough? They'd probably take pity on you more than fuck with either of us.~" She smirked and looked to Dasha, adding. "Pretty sure Dasha'd scare off anyone who tried to tease us with an icy glare. Especially if they were teasing us cause of someone so close to her."

Dasha's lips quirked up in a small smile at Alex's words- for a second or two before her brow furrowed. Ah, yeah she- she hoped Sam wouldn't be uncomfortable with that? Her eyes did flick sideways again questioningly. And yet, Sam's answer had a small snort escaping from her. The lightness, assuredness, and whatever else put her at ease again- and that last bit had her grinning a little too toothily if only for a second. Yeah~ Of course she'd put anyone in the office who dared to say a damn thing in their place~ "I'll make sure they keep it to themselves if anything~" Ah yeah, that was that almost haughty harsh tone again.
O-oh? Was that the waiter? How long had he been standing there? On being acknowledged, be quickly asked if they were ready to order. "Ah- another minute please," Dasha answered looking back down at the menu again and fishing up he drink sipping it slowly. "I'm thinking I'll order the shrimp stir fry…" She muttered quietly after. It had been looking pretty good this entire time, but now that she was prompted to make a decision, yeah… that was the obvious choice huh?

Alex... wanted to be disappointed. That had been meant to get a rise, and it didn't get one... but Sam's delivery had Alex smirking, and her attitude had her genuinely pleased. Had Dasha told her that much already or was she just that chill? Either way, this was a good reaction and Alex approved so much more than she'd ever expected to.
Er-- oh shit hey waiter bro. "Uh-- Sec." Alex was probably gonna be lazy and just get the--hooooly shit that was an expensive steak what else was on the beef menu. Like hot damn folks she knew this shit was largely imported but no way was she paying that much when there was a cheaper dish with more fixings right above it. "I'll get this uh... Ropa Vieja," she decided quickly enough, somehow not entirely butchering the pronunciation even. She wasn't sure what the 'marduros' part of this dish was, but fuck it, New Year's was a time for new things or last regrets or some shit yeah? Yeah heh.

Well Sam may have found the actual experience of living with a male Alex quite different, but for now, while it was only a thought and she knew very little of how Alex tended to display, so for now the idea didn't really bother her too much. As the waitress came back around for their orders, Sam's eyes dipped back to the menu, letting the other two go first while she had a second to refresh herself, handing her menu to the waitress when they were all ordering up.
"I'll go for er...Pollo Carmello. No tomatos though please." She gave the waitress a sweet smile, making sure to make a mental note to tip her heavily for working on new years eve.

By the time Alex and Sam had ordered, it was just Dasha left to point to the menu. She… was not about to butcher this language or this restaurant right then. The waiter just gave a small nod, offering up a "Gallo Pinto con Carne," in case Dasha wanted to pronounce it correctly. Thereafter, their menus were handed back, and she sat back again pretty comfortably. This was.. going well, yeah? Yeah. Reasonably.
A small sip of her drink, had her smiling again. A thought occurred to her but then… sort of evolved into something else. "Any specific Pokemon you two want to catch or train in the new year?" she asked easily enough. She needed to train more, always more, in order to get not just her main team but her entire PC up to par. "Hoping to train up my Charmander into a Charizard eventually…" It'd be nice to fly into work, and they were power houses unto themselves.

Alex sipped more of her drink as she considered the question. It was... actually kind of depressing to realize how hard she had to think about it. It should have been such a simple question.
"..I dunno. Pretty sure Princess doesn't wanna evolve and Mienshao feels too much like Nik's thing anyway. There's Mini, but having both a Pangoro and a Pancham is kind of neat and helped out in that contest in November." From that description, Sam might suddenly recall Alex's performance, though of course it was Cat rather than Sam who Dasha and Alex would have seen. "N--not that I wanna make a regular habit of performing or anything. But it might be kinda cool once in a while..." Singing was kind of a guilty pleasure if nothing else, but the spotlight wasn't too bad either... "Guess I might break down and buy a Dusk Stone to evolve Saber into Aegislash eventually, but not sure yet. And not really sure about catches, either.." She'd just downsized a few months back after all. ... Ssssiiiiiipppp... Ugh her drink was almost gone already.

With their orders taken, Sam was getting hungry just from the knowledge food was coming, catching Dasha's question and eager to latch onto a distraction. It was a unique question, better than just "any resolutions", but it did have her thinking too. She didn't wanna train too many of her cats...she liked some of them cute for sure.
Interest piqued at the mention of a contest, Sam's memory was suddenly jogged. "Oh you were in the november contest!? God I kinda feel embaressed for not recognizing you! I-" She paused briefly but played it off well, flicking her hand about like she'd just noticed a wasp before shaking it off as she continued with an altered version of events. "I was in the audience. The contest happened while I was visiting my parents so I got to see it. You were actually really good. Even if interpol works out, it never hurts to have a fun hobby like that." Smiling brightly for a moment, she soon tapped her chin in thought of her own.
"I think I finally wanna get a Decidueye. Apparently they make great lookouts and they're very well mannered.~"

Oh??? Sam had been at the contest too? "Wish I had known, we could have sat together," Not that she hadn't been sitting alone or anything. "Maybe even introduce you to Nik too." They'd sat and watched the contest together, and that would have been a great opportunity and- ah well.
And- actually. Considering Interpol and contests: "Didn't Jakob want to do contests at some point?" Yeah but he'd been so busy with work or so it seemed like. Maybe the grieving process had killed that in him, though, not that she ever wanted to say that out loud. "And then of course we have the office celebrity anyways." She joked, but the fact Josh Dragomir was actually part of Interpol would always be a joke.
Had she maybe forgotten to say something about Sam getting a Decidueye? You betcha.

[attr="class","alex"] Alex found herself pleasantly surprised when Sam said she'd seen the performance-- and.. maybe a bit flustered when she said she was really good? " Yeah?" ... She uh... wasn't blushing or anything, that was just the cold nipping at her face a bit, yeah? Heh. Oh, Decidueye did sound nice actually... Didn't Jakob want to do contests? "Ah-- Yeah, he seemed pretty excited about it when we moved here," Alex confirmed. "Haven't really heard anything about it lately, though. Maybe he just got busy with work or decided watching was good enough or whatever." Celebrity? "..Right, I always forget you work with that actor dude." Maybe because Alex wasn't all that familiar with his work and didn't keep up with celebs in general, but yeah. "But hey. Not to copy but Dash, help me remember to look into Decidueye some time? I can never remember cool Pokemon I've wanted if I think about it but they do seem pretty cool, and I like their aesthetic." Come to think... There was another that caught her eye around Sinclair from time to time, huh? "Is Gogoat brown and green, too?" she asked, before immediately realizing that probably sounded like a pretty dumb question to Sam. As an aside to her, she explained, "...I'm uh.. semi-colorblind, but I like the idea of stuff that looks kinda like trees and s--tuff." Not stuff that looks like shit, even if stuff that looked like stuff was redundant as hell but whatever. [newclass=.alex b]color:#20aa60;[/newclass]

Seemed no one latched onto her brief pause, she was getting better at hiding these slip ups it seemed, which was good. Careful not to slip up again as the conversation moved forward. Jakob wanted to do contests too? Geeze was everyone in the office wanting to be a celebrity? Job satisfaction at it's finest there...though Kai in a fancy suit performing with his dogs did bring a brief snort giggle that she hid behind her hand.
"Hey if I'd have known you were there Dash I woulda slid in next to ya right away. Would be lovely to meet your...sister, now, right?" She waited for Dasha to confirm or deny that, but didn't seem too bothered all the same. They hadn't met Nik yet themselves so their stuff was just that. Theirs. Nothing she should go rooting her nose in or judging. "I'll make sure to send you a quick text if there's another event I happen to pass by or something.~" She gave just a light, playful wink before sipping at her drink, focusing on Alex as they turned back to talking about Pokemon. Very glad. She did not wanna spend new years eve bitching about Josh, especially given she'd realized how hypocritical that could be lately.
"Hey if I get a spare egg off a breeder, one's yours yeah?~" She took another sip just as the comment about being color-blind came up. Certainly explained the odd question, though...it did amuse her more than she felt polite admitting that she liked such an aesthetic without being able to enjoy it herself. "Er...yeah. Those colors...if its not too rude what kind? Like is it black and white, a specific color spectrum...?" She blinked for a moment before resting her head in her hand a little embarrassed. Yeeeeah. Cause someone's who's color blind could even tell what color spectrum they were in. Everything would just be like that anyway.

"Sibling," Dasha corrected Sam on a dime. Her tone wasn't so much snippy as very Matter Of Fact. Living with Alex as long as she had had sort of already ingrained it before Nik even hit that realization. She did perk up a little as Sam assured her that she'd text her next time. "Sounds good. It should be fun." And yeah she just moved on easy as that.
Dasha gave a small nod at Alex. "Will do." Or she'd at least try and remember. Actually, no why not just take out her phone and put that as a calendar reminder for tomorrow. Yeah, that'd be better. Is Gogoat brown and green too? "Yeah." Oh wait- had she asked that of her or Sam? Oh, guess maybe Sam. She… might have said exactly what Alex was right then but actually couldn't… remember? Granted she wasn't the one who experienced it every single day, so that was a given, but … Ahhahah whatever.

[attr="class","alex"] Sam would just.. give her a Rowlet if she got two?? Or was that more like, 'hey I'll give you a call to let you know one's available'? The latter made more sense, but the wording made her question. Either way was super cool really, though. "Tritanopia," Alex answered almost reflexively when Sam asked what kind. .. Right, 'what colors' was a lot more helpful to most people, huh? Heh. "They say it's 'blue-yellow', like as opposed to more common 'red-green'. But then like.. You can find alleged filters online and stuff. No idea how accurate they are, but if they are an old bro of mine says it all looks like... shades of pink and teal mostly? Still black and white and gray too o'course."
Considering a more practical example, her mind went to one she still found about as annoying as amusing. "Like. If ya know what a Shiny Ampharos looks like? Folks tell me it's super different from the normal one, but to me the only difference is the tail orbs. When mine evolved from a Flaaffy, I didn't know he'd changed color other than the orbs for like a month." She smirked. "Bright side, if anyone gives me shit for wearing something pink when I'm presenting male, I can make 'em feel like a real asshole for it." A brief snicker followed. 'I have an actual medical condition' tended to get a rather different response than other reasoning people might give, even if Alex was pretty firmly on the 'it's fucking asinine to gender colors' train too, heh.

Sam rested her cheek on her hand as she listened to Alex. Tritanopia...Yeah she almost couldn't pretend like she was gonna remember the name, but she could at least remember the details. So some colors shifted to a pink spectrum? Fair enough, she had to giggle a little at the comment about her Ampharos, but not so much that it might come off as rude. It was a slightly funny example after all.
"So you see a lot more pink than everyone else basically? I mean, from the way you describe it everything's black, grey, white...or pink?" Sam knew she was risking being rude, but with a light shake of her head, starting to loosen up a bit, she couldn't resist the joke. "Ah man, I have my girly moments but a world of pink? Must be brightly colored torture...you a real cunt in a past life or something?" She smirked a little to hopefully better convey that was just a joke. "Still, that sounds weirdly cool...to me at least. Know it's probably not too fun to live with though...what makes you like the whole tree aesthetic, if ya don't mind me asking? The greens and the browns and such? I genuinely don't mean to offend or anything, just sounds like it must be hard for you to appreciate personally."

Tritanopia. Right, that was what it was called. Dasha put that to the back of her mind for later. The example would also be shuffled away even as she tried not to laugh at it. Imaging Justice as pink and sparkly was… surprisingly on point. She half wanted to suggest actually dying him now, not that she expected he'd let anyone in to do that. Maybe just dye that armor he still wore now and again then.
Pffftftftftf. Sam's response earned another snort. Imagining this as literal karma for something in a past life probably shouldn't have been as funny as it was but… If… if she actually considered reincarnation as a viable source of life and then put it up to karma, she had to wonder what she did to get certain things shoved on her. The question, however, was directed at Alex, so she just sipped her drink and waited for a moment before adding in. "A lot of my Pokemon are white simply for the snow aesthetic." Which… she really wanted to go up to Aleal or something while all the snow was piled high. It had to be wonderful.

[attr="class","alex"] Black, white, grey... or pink? "Or teal," Alex quickly added, but it was kind of a verbal shrug. Or blue, or green? Her buddy had said 'teal' but it wasn't like Alex could confirm that assessment, was it? She just knew that doctors said 'blue-yellow' colorblind, but the friend who'd looked into it said the filters looked more blue than green to him, and what people called 'blue' and 'green' looked about the same to her. So who fuckin' knew if it was a misnomer or the filters were wrong or his eyes were buggy too or what lol. You a real cunt in a past life or something? A hand was on Alex's mouth faster than she could remember having moved it and it still didn't suppress her snort. "FUCKIN' PROBABLY." Honestly Sam. Honestly. She shouldn't have found this as hilarious as she did but here they were. She was still working on fighting down her giggles when Sam commented on hard to live with, but that comment did help her settle a little faster. Ehhhh, kind of annoying but not as big a deal as people acted like sometimes, in her opinion. She thought on how to answer the aesthetic question, but Dasha's response helped. "Ah... Yeah I guess it's like that. Like it's not the color white on its own Dash loves so much, it's the resemblance to snow. I love the foresty aesthetic, like vines and trees and stuff. Leaves on the ground and moss on stuff and all that. Earthy stuff I guess."Hm, maybe it'd be clearer if... "Like... I like camping sometimes but I'm not as into it as Dash, and I like grass and ground types well enough but fighting and dark and maybe steel suit my taste more for battle. So mostly just I like the look, and I get that the right colors remind other people of that look, so I like them to associate me with that. ...If that makes sense?"
As an afterthought, she realized, "...Man I should try to get a Trevenant some time, too. ..Phantump kinda creeps me out though."[newclass=.alex b]color:#20aa60;[/newclass]
