Dasha LaskaWith the mention of going to the star festival with Starry not so long ago, Sam had been eager to meet with Dasha at the Festival itself. Of course each of her evenings were going to be busy with her plans to participate in the contest as Cat, but, luckily for her, Tuesday didn't have any official contest work, and it was in the middle of the festival when all the stalls were already up and running, and she was more than ready to enjoy the festival to it's fullest. She'd even tried to dress a little more fun than usual, wearing shorts with some nice leggings, a cozy but thin jacket, and, to try and be somewhat more playful, she er...maaaaaaay have added a bit of Glitter to her hair. Luckily from her work as Cat she knew how to wash that shit out before anyone saw her at Interpol tommorrow, but for now it felt cute and fun and everything was star themed and unless Dasha said anything she in no way had to justify this to anyone especially not herself. "What ya thinking Luxie? Looking like we got a good night ahead of us?" The shinx in her arms let out a happy cry as it kicked its legs, eager to start running about, but right now Sam was waiting by the Pokemon center to meet Dasha.

Arceus Starry was so restless! Ever since Bal’s comet had started to approach, she seemed to have a strange almost nervous energy to her, and without even realizing it at first, Dasha was starting to be affected. She too had entirely too much nervous energy to know what to do with, and she may have been more physically active than even usual up to that. As the Star Festival began, she spent her time mostly out doing whatever came to mind!
Heather was always quick to consider and conceal Starry, but the Zoroark had a little less energy than her trainer or her pseudo-daughter and was starting to wear down even if she didn’t want to admit it. At least this time, however, Dasha had a cute and curious fix for the situation making a paper mache Minior ‘coat’ for the baby to conceal herself in. She looked… kind of strange and clearly semi-concealed, but it was hard to tell just what she was… and for now that was enough.
Coming up to the Pokemon center with the ‘Minior’ in the crux of her arm, Dasha smiled on catching sight of Sam and waved over to her. “I didn’t keep you waiting, did I?”

Sam was more than happy to finally spot Dasha, skipping over and snickering once she spotted what she was carrying in her arms, giggling at the poorly dressed up Pokemon that, from process of elimination, was clearly Starry. She twiddled her fingers in a playful wave at the pokemon before turning her eyes back to Dasha, trying to resist further giggles. "I take it your 'igglybuff' wanted to play dress up for the festival hm?" She kinda wished she coulda seen Starry getting dressed, if she really liked Minior so much, dressing up as one probably would have overloaded her with joy and delight, like a kid dressing up as something they love for halloween.
Fixing her own hair a little as she stood back up from trying to meet Starry's eyes, she shook her head and smiled. "Nah I ain't been waiting long...you er...think I over did it with the hair?"

As Sam closed in, Dasha flashed a smile. “Something like that, yeah,” she answered with a small laugh. “I’ve also got a friend to keep her distracted if need be~” A Minior of her own, in fact, heh. The baby, meanwhile, squeaked and ‘cooed’ as she caught sight of her as well. She… might have been just as excited to see anything new but!!! Still!! Hello there!!! Dasha chuckled and shifted her in her arms to try and give the baby a better ‘view’ from where she was.
Sam’s question drew Dasha’s eyes over her hair, and a small smile curled over her lips. “Hmmmmm …. No~ For a celebration like this, it’s just right,” she insisted with a sharp nod of assurance right after. “It fits perfectly with your outfit and the environment~” Dasha’s own hand reached back to curl a few hairs behind her ear in turn. A small giggle came thereafter, however, as she realized something else. “Complete with star cat~ ” she made a small gesture to the Shinx’s tail thereafter. She almost regretted not having Poprocks on hand right then to add to the look. Well, maybe she could bring her out on a different day of the festival.

Smiling brightly but pushing her face down into her Shinx's head a little shyly at the compliment, the Shinx itself let out a purr as it was addressed to, it's star tipped tail swaying left and right around Sam's hips. "Ah it was just something silly and last minute..." She said, knowing full well this had actually taken her a good 20 minutes to do without looking trashy and half assed. Lifting up her kitten, she let the blue cat paw at the 'minior' in Dasha's arms.
"This little fella is...actually I don't think I gave him a name yet...huh." She tipped her head back, realizing this was the only one of her cats she hadn't named yet. "Hmmm...well for now he's just shinx I guess. Still, I might have my star cat, but yoooou" She crouched down and looked into Starry's eyes through the costume. "You have a star coated star NAMED starry dressed up as a star at the star festival. I believe they call that a wombo-combo~"

Dasha smiled a little softer as Sam spoke. Even if it was a silly last minute addition, it came together well enough, or so she thought anyways. Hmmmm no name for the Shinx yet? Dasha didn’t have many to offer off the top of her head. Names sometimes just came to her or they didn’t.
The baby in her arms, meanwhile, squeaked softly at the kitten’s touch. Wow! It looked so much like another Pokemon Mommy had, but so different too! Starry shifted a little, rocking somewhat as if to try and touch back. Dasha shifted in turn helping an ‘end’ of the costume touch the Shinx at least much to the satisfaction of the baby. Even more so as Sam leaned in and she got to see her close up.
A star coated star named Starry dressed up as a star at the star festival— wow that was a combo wasn’t it? Dasha’s lips twitched a little before melting into a smile. “Should have caught a Starravia or Staraptor for it too,” Dasha hummed softly to herself before shaking her head. It wasn’t like she was going to participate in the contest or anything, heh. “Any ideas on what to do first?” she asked shifting a little again to look around slowly. There were plenty of stalls and stations with numerous games, prizes, and experiences. She honestly didn’t even know where to start. Last year’s Star Festival felt like such a blur now in her memories for whatever reason too…

"Oh yeah, they you could have a star bird carrying your little star wombo-combo.~" She smirked and teased, carrying her little starry kitty of her own for a little as they idly began to walk through the streets of stalls and festival games, humming as she thought. "Where to start though, that is the question..." Lucky for her the contest itself wasn't an option, though if Dasha did wanna watch that with her one night she'd need to have an excuse ready for that...maybe just catching up on some Interpol paperwork. Yeah that'd fly.
"Ya know I reeeeally think we should get something to eat first. Don't you Shinx?~" The Kitty let out a happy purr at the sound of them getting food, Sam smirking and pecking it's head, nuzzling between its ears before turning her eyes back to Dasha. "Come on, I know a stall that those some salt and pepper Shu-Mais. If you've never had them before you're gonna love 'em trust me. They're like little dumplings but they're a lovely little snack, we can get a box of 'em and share it.~" The kitty purred out again and Sam snickered as she started guiding Dash towards the stall with a very small line, just 2 people ahead of them, and it looked like they were together. "Don't worry Shinx you get to share too.~"

Ahhh food sounded good. Dasha smiled a bit and nodded in turn. She could definitely eat. Sam’s little motions had Dasha looking down to the baby in her own arms. “I wonder if they’re selling sugar stars around here…” she chuckled softly. Those were Starry’s favorite treats even if they made her more bouncy than usual. Of course, she could always try whatever Dasha wanted too and may have even taken more of a liking to things than usual due to all the star shaped foods. The baby chirped anyways. She was just excited to be there!
Shu-Mai’s? What were those? Dasha didn’t have to question long as Sam spoke. “Dumplings huh…” They sounded like they could be fattening but… heh. They worked out enough. Following after Sam, Dasha caught the smell of the food as they stepped into line. AHhh, wow. Those did smell pretty good. “Those smell heavenly,” she exhaled deeply before shifting Starry into her other arm as the line moved. It turned out they weren’t that expensive either, huh. No, she shouldn’t order like 20 of them and store them for the year. Brian what the hell.
The box they were presented with also smelled heavenly, and even Starry seemed excited at their prospects now. “There’s a table over there,” Dasha pointed out before starting in that direction. Sitting down and setting Starry on the table, Dasha also sat her bag down and served as a sort of vague barrier between one side of the table and Starry. The baby was comfortable to eat through the Minior costume, but just in case she got a little too excitable, Dasha was ready.
Taking a bit, Dasha practically melted. Ok, they did taste as good as they smelled. “These are wonderful.”

Glad to see Dasha was on board, Sam ordered them a box of 10, then heard a little growling from her arms and corrected her order. "Actually we'll take a box of 20.~" The man nodded his head and Sam looked over to Dasha. "Don't worry, if we have leftovers Shinx'll have 'em. And even then we can carry 'em around to snack on later.~"
The box wasn't all that big even with 20 of them, to the point Sam could comfortably balance it in one hand. The dumplings were really small afterall. Before she left the stall she politely asked for a pair of forks, the man just laying two plastic ones atop their pack as she moved to sit down where Dasha guided her to, laying Shinx on the table itself as the kitten purred and sniffed at the box, and, despite being a girl itself, Sam lightly shooed it back with the comment "Ah ah ah.~ Ladies first.~"
As they opened up she stuck her tiny fork into one, and all but melted as the warm, faintly spicy taste of the flavoring touched her tongue, letting out a faint moan for emphasis as she took her sweet time chewing her first one. "Mmmm....god. I know some chinese places do these year round...I'll have to find one of 'em.~"
As she went for another, Shinx growled quietly, not really angry but just 'ahem. Excuse me?'. Sam giggled and took the fresh one on her fork and offered it across, the Shinx sniffing it before taking it into her mouth, letting out a happy purr again as it took in the taste. "Ooooo...ya know...I hear you can do 'em at home if you have a steamer. I might get one for my new apartment!~"

Twenty was going to be hard to say no to. Twenty was going to be a constant reminder that she had to eat only one or two— Ah whatever. It was the festival time. Heh. This was what Dasha told herself even as she picked up a fork.
She broke off a piece and offered it to Starry through the Minior eye hole before actually trying one for herself. The first one, though, was a mixture of tastes Dasha was not quite expecting. Ugh. It was good though, and that was what mattered, really. Before she’d realized it, Dasha was forking a second one. “I could eat ten of these,” she admitted with a small hint of embarrassment.
Hmmmm. The thought of cooking them at home had Dasha nodding a bit. “Oh yeah— did you find one close by?” she asked not having quite forgotten that initial proposition. It just… maybe hadn’t budged much since due to business and whatever else. Yeah…

Sam blinked a little before recalling...heh, yeah, she hadn't talked to Dasha about that for a while. She'd actually always kept the roomate idea in mind to some extent, she'd just not been forward in talking about it. Swallowing her second little dumpling, she made sure her throat was clear before explaining.
"I er...actually found two places? Ones a little smaller than the other but...well. The second one'd kinda feel a bit empty if I didn't have someone else filling the space ya know?" Yeah that was the most awkward way to approach this topic in the history of ever. Good job Samantha. "Both places are in the same apartment building so the guy who owns it is keeping them open for me a little while till I make a decision. He's a good guy, apparently his husband even works at a coffee place that's between the place and work so...it's looking like a good deal."
Poking one of the Shumai's, just rolling it over, she lightly rubbed the back of her neck. "You er...given any thought to sharing the rent...so to speak?"

O-oh? A wave of feelings Dasha thought she’d put down suddenly bubbled up again. If Sam— if they?— did end up becoming roommates with Alex then… They’d be closer to work and closer to each other and… And… And…. “I—“
I like you… As a friend, a bestie. You are the best. I want to hold your hand… A lot, in a clearly nonsexual way. I want… Dasha didn’t even realize that warmth had started creeping up onto her features until it was starting to scald them. This is dumb… She was ace. And Sam’s not… Jerking a friend around was not acceptable. I’m not interested… Not in physicality… But… But????
Dasha shifted forward some feeling a nervous, jittery something or other. “I… it sounds nice and… I… wanna talk to Alex about it,” she answered, her voice shifting weirdly from the force. Starry squeaked softly looking up over at Dasha curiously. Even she had noticed whatever change was occurring but…. huh?

Sam could see that burning red rising on Dasha's cheeks, but rather than read exact what was going on, she thought Dasha was just holding back a true answer and trying to be polite...Sam knew they'd had an awkward moment in that store the other week but...was it really a big enough issue? She'd seemed...okay with it...when they'd once talked about it...
No just. Whatever it was making her blush Sam wanted to know, good or bad she wanted Dasha to be comfortable and wanted to know how she felt. Lightly pushing the box of Shumais to one side, she reached across the table and just took one of Dasha's hands, holding it in both of her own and just looking into Dasha's eyes. She knew she'd SAID yes practically, but Sam wanted her to be honest.
"Dash, talk to me okay? If something about it makes you uncomfortable, that's fine, honestly. Okay?" She offered a genuine, sweet smile, no sense of uncertainty in her gaze as she finished. "Really Dasha, I just want you to be comfy, wherever you end up living.~ Like I said there's that smaller apartment if I want it..."

As hands covered her own, Dasha jolted slightly. Blue eyes raised and reflected the other blue pair and for a moment became glossy. The reassurance, that smile on Sam’s face, that was just… so like her. And so nice. “I….” Her gaze fell from Sam’s and fixated on their hands instead.
“The … other day …” Yeah that was a way to start this, right? Right. Maybe. Kind of. “I realized I like you… a lot, Sam,” her voice pushed for the words to get out before falling flat. Her stomach tightened and then flipped over again. “And I don’t… even know of it’s…” It was real? No She certainly felt it. It was real to her but… “And I’m— I’m ace but….” She chewed her lip and slowly looked up trying to meet Sam’s gaze as hard as she could. “But I like you.”
