’The’ home? Intrigued by the idea of island nation that Yumi had come from but focusing on something that felt a little awkward for her to say, rather than calling what Saya assumed to be ‘her’ home, it was instead referred to in a manner that seemed a little more distant. By no means an expert in her new language but spotting this little note, while she smiled back at the description that the redhead offered, Miss Tachibana couldn’t help but wonder if this girl had been in a situation similar to her own, currently? Kept in the accommodation that the Pokémon League had provided, while she had a place to go back to and rest, it certainly didn’t feel like something that she could call ‘home’ either?
“No, no… Not anymore? Tamadono and myself were the only ones who made the journey alone, and have lived together since…” Eyes turning away from the pretty face of the scarlet haired lass when she thought of the people that had been left behind by her, Saya looked instead toward the water, showing a hint of sadness as she stared at her lightly bobbing ball before rustling it as her companion had taught her.
“Actually, before I did come to Veria, I had been wishing I could leave my family and home?” Speaking again after a beat or two of sombre silence, with her eyes still lingering on the horizon as if she was looking for something that wasn’t actually there, Miss Tachibana felt a sort of hollowness inside that seemed to have been created by regret for the wish she had once had. Sure there were aspects of her new life that agreed with her, but the dark haired girl couldn’t help but think the price of possibly never seeing anyone she had once loved again was rather a steep one in retrospect…

Yumi kept an eye on the pokeballs in the water as they talked, wondering what was taking the fish so long to even nudge the pokeballs this time, her eyes shifting across the water's surface to see if she could spot any shadows in it this time, feeling like they might have accidentally spooked the fish with Saya's failed throwing attempt. Ah well, they'd get something eventually...
As Saya continued to speak, Yumi could feel there was a bit of a sadness in her words but at the same time she was at a loss at what to offer. With one hand still on her rod, she shifted her self closer to saya, the other woman taller both naturally and because she was on her knees. Yumi reached briefly before pulling her hand back, second guessing herself, but ultimately wrapped her arm around the girl's back, just giving her a gentle, one armed hug.
"I...don't really have anyone from my old home to miss, but I did say stuff like that before I ran away..." She shifted her eyes across to Saya as she pulled her arm back, tilting her head. "You erm...not to be rude but...where do you live? I mean..." She knew this was kinda rude but her curiosity was getting the better of her. "You have amnesia, away from home...do you stay at a hospital?" Of course not idiot what hospital would let her have a sword!?

She definitely appears to be rather forward, is this how people tend to be in Veria? Noting once again that the redhead had seen fit to embrace her, Miss Tachibana felt her cheeks grow hotter as she was comforted by her companion, before deciding to be daring and return the gesture. Lifting her hand up and placing it gently on the waist of the other woman a little hesitantly, she smiled softly at the lone armed cuddle they engaged in and discovered that she was enjoying this less inhibited approach.
“You ran away… As well?” Glancing toward Yumi with a look of curiosity toward her, as the redhead admitted to Saya that she too had once wished to leave whatever home she had, the blue eyed beauty couldn’t help but feel a small connection with the woman by her side. Lifting her hand away with a slight hesitance as Yumi retreated from their short but sweet embrace, the dark haired dish of the duo found herself wondering what else they may have had in common, but found herself beaten to the punch by the queries of her companion.
“Ah, well you see I currently live in a boarding house in Faraday owned by a group called the Pokémon League? They were kind enough to offer me sanctuary and allowance given the method of my entry?” Nodding at the question that she was given and answering it as fully as she could, Saya let her red haired company know everything she did about the current state of her living situation. Becoming a semi-permanent resident in a small guest house establishment in which people on league business could stay, Miss Tachibana’s borrowed room was the closest thing she could call to a permanent residence and was where she had spent most of the past year.

Saya ran away too? Least it sounded like she ran away from a family rather than the care system. Letting out a sigh through her nose she'd listen as she spoke of her current living situation, Yumi smirking as she spoke without thinking much about what she was actually saying.
"Heh...maybe you should come live with me or something instead. Two run aways under one rough oughta be a fun setting for a sitcom or something." She'd lower her head, finding her joking tease a little silly, thankfully distracted by the sound of the water sloshing around the other woman's pokeball in the water. "Oh! Looks like you might have a bite there!~"

Move in together? The very suggestion of her living with someone other than a family member making Saya blush heavily, the traditional viewpoint she possessed from her upbringing instantly made the connection between cohabitation and coupling and she saw herself in some kind of man and wife situation with the redhead. The only difference really between what she could picture being an extra helping of woman whilst the reserves on husband’s seemed to run dry, despite the way that the ‘proposal’ left her perplexed, a small part of Miss Tachibana felt a temptation to say yes. Sure it was crazy given the fact that Yumi was practically a stranger to her, but unlike the marriage she had expected to be part of back home, this at least seemed to make her a little bit happy.
“Oh, goodness!” Unable to really do much more than imagine the situation of herself and Yumi as ‘man’ and wife before getting distracted by the ‘action’ in the water, Saya gasped as she saw the snare bobbing up and down as something tried to grab it and instinctively pulled backward on the rod to flip the creature out of the stream. “Unff!” Strong enough of body that this reflex dragged both the ball and the interested party out of the water, for a moment one could see a flash of gold until the orb opened up and sucked whatever it was inside of it, being left wriggling on the grass for a few seconds before settling down as the Pokémon inside stopped struggling.
“D-Did we?” Miss Tachibana a little bit confused by what had happened due to the speed of it, while she had no idea if what she had caught was what she had been looking for, she looked toward the redhead with eyes filled with excitement. “Did we get one?” This the first time she had ever managed to snag a wild Pokémon and performing the task more by accident than design, she looked toward Yumi as the ball on a string lay gently on the grass, unsure of whether this was how a fresh Pokéball even worked…

Yumi majorly stayed sat down during the capture process, giggling a little at the sight of it all just finding it cute and hilarious for some reason. Yumi's eyes grew wide at the golden shimmer, Magikarp's shiny variant being one of the most well known in existance and it was easy enough to spot, so when the pokeball clicked closed, she jumped up a little excited herself.
"Not only did you catch one i think you caught a shiny one!~" She smiled brightly, patting Saya on the back. "Nice one! That's probably worth way more than the over-charging scam artist was trying to get you to pay!~"

“I got it…?” The confirmation of her companion not quite convincing her, Saya sat with the amazement of a child at what had just occurred. Everything happening so fast that she could barely believe it, the blue eyes beauty towed the supposedly occupied ball back toward her by the string that was attached to it and held the item to the light, as if she might be able to see inside it. The brow of Miss Tachibana tightening a little as the red and white orb turned lightly around thanks to the string it was suspended from, the lightness of the ball did nothing to convince her of what was within, and so she opted to test the item.
“It really is in there!” Throwing the ball onto the bank in front of her like she had the sphere that contained her now relaxing Ninetales, the indigo haired woman gasped and grinned as she saw something with golden scales erupt from the orb and begin the flop aimlessly on the ground. “How… Majestic!” The eyes of Saya seeming to sparkle like sapphires as she watched the fish she had found wriggle and trying to right itself, while the show that her new Pokémon was putting on was probably not much to another, she found herself oddly hypnotised by the action. This a glorious creature she had only heard about in legends and now snared by her own hand, the girl gawked for a moment at the creature before deciding it was a little cruel to leave it struggling out of the water and used her Pokéball to pull it back to her.
“The golden type is special here? They were all gold in the images that I saw of them…” Having been so fascinated by the fish she had caught that she had barely registered much of what the redhead had sold her, it was only when the moments of wonder at her catch began to ebb away that Miss Tachibana recognised what she had been told. More curious about the information than looking to cash in ultimately, despite the declaration of value that Yumi had given her, Saya felt no impetus to take a mercenary approach to her find. This Magikarp was her blessing, after all.
“I understand it is customary here for people to name the Kami they gain?” The large, golden bodied koi now resting within his Pokéball once more, which in turn was nestled within both of the hands of Miss Tachibana, with a slightly curious expression she looked toward her impromptu tutor as she clutched her fresh catch. Largely knowing what she did from the pieces of information her chaperones had given her, whilst Saya had kept the name that her ancestors had given to Tamadono, she hummed lightly to herself as she considered a moniker for the Magikarp now in her possession…

Yumi smirked wide as Saya showed such excitement over a magikarp, even calling it's flopping form majestic. "Well that's one way to put it." Yumi herself would lift up her fishing rodd that she'd made on the fly and reel in the PokeBall on the end, wiping it off against her jacket and letting Saya have a moment to take in what was apparently her first personal catch.
"Wait...the gold ones are common where you come from?" Huh, she was pretty sure she would have to figure out where she came from some day. Golden magikarp maybe weren't too big a deal but for sure red Gyrados were said to be exceptionally powerful and ferocious compared to their blue counterparts. Shinies weren't necessarily more powerful, but it was 'said' at the very least. "Hey if you ever head home you should maybe try and catch a few, they'd be worth a lot in regions where they're less common.~"
At the question of a nickname, she lightly tapped her chin, and shrugged. "I do personally, but not everyone does. Even those who do sometimes wait a long time till the nickname sorta...comes to them. Like, you COULD name it now, but you don't really know what name might suit it yet, right?"

A fish with the strength of a lion, like Shachihoko… Humming gently to herself as she continued to hold up the opaque orb in front of her, while Yumi offered her the chance to wait on naming her new ‘guardian’, Miss Tachibana was already tugging the perfect name she could think of from the myths of her homeland. Remembering how she always used to find a commonality between stories of the mighty creature this world knew as magikarp and a powerful deity from legend, Saya’s choice was made rather quickly but she was no less firm in it for the speediness.
“Shachimaru will do just fine!” Grinning to herself and holding up her Pokéball like a trophy, while some of the ladylike character that the dark haired girl tended to show slipped away a little to indicate a more energetic and boyish tendency beneath, Saya grinned happily at her choice and capture and then turned to Yumi with a beaming smile.
“Thank you so much, Yumi-san… Your wisdom was invaluable!” Placing her palm on the ground and twisting at the knees in order to face her fellow femme fully, Miss Tachibana nodded at the girl and then drooped forward into a low bow with her nose practically pressed into the grass in front of her. Giving a sign of thanks that really spoke of the culture that she came from and the sincerity she felt in the deed, Saya lowered her head humbly to the woman she had met today and hoped that the gratitude she showed would in some way make up for the effort the girl had gone to with her…

While glad that the other girl found herself so happy with the capture, the sudden low bow Yumi recognized from Kanto TV shows was a bit alarming. Was it really worth such a low headed bow? With a nervous chuckle she leaned forward and lightly patted the top of her head.
"Hey come on now? You don't need to thank me for anything, the pokeball was just pocket change and like...I'm sure any ten year old coulda told ya the same stuff about fish-capping if you just asked yeah?" She'd lean forward, hands on her knees to make sure she could dip so low, trying to meet Saya's eyes when she lifted her head. "Really, we're all good yeah?~"

“This is a debt I will make sure to pay back many times over!” Seeming to sense the presence of the redhead so close to her without even really seeing her, Saya lifted her face back up and rose back up little way, hands still on the grass and body just low enough that she was stooping beneath Yumi’s gaze slightly. Looking the other woman deep in the eye with all the sincerity she could muster, the sensibilities of Miss Tachibana were rather old fashioned but she really did appreciate what had been done for her and this was the way she was accustomed to showing thanks. Unfortunately, she couldn’t ignore the sudden intimacy of their position for long.
“I am eternally grateful for your kindness and consideration…” Redness colouring the cheeks of Saya as she realized just how invasive of the other woman’s personal space she was being, their faces close enough that it would be easy to kiss the redhead if she wished, with a tone that faltered a little the tall beauty retreated back and smiled a little awkwardly. "If you... Are in need a companion when you are in Faraday again, I would certainly be happy to oblige and assist in any way that I could?" Blushing profusely at the boldness she had shown as her issues with intimacy began to make her feel nervous again, Miss Tachibana dipped her head more shallowly for a moment before pulling her hand through her long and silky locks and looking off to the side, feeling a little bit discomfited despite the appreciation she felt...
