I'm normal about these two, I swear.

She wouldn't admit it (again), but the shorter woman, once again, felt perfect in her arms, which curled protectively around the greenette with a contented sigh.

Axolotl manages to nudge the door open, waddling on over to faceplant next to the bed, falling asleep instantly.

“It'll be alright.”

There's a moment where she's staring at Lachie, before realizing that she was being invited to cuddle! She'd shuffle into position, looking at the other woman's face.

This would be their first night in this unfamiliar place..and yet Yuki felt relieved.
Lachie looks over, hair half-tousled over her face from landing on the bed. She'd move it out of the way with a brush of her thumb before responding with a tired smile.

“I'll just have to take your word for it.”

She mutters, before letting her arm fall open to the side.

Almost like an invitation.

Yuki's clothing would end up looking a bit baggy on her...Maybe they were too big on her? She didn't mind it however, for similar reasons to Lachie!

It was just Lachie that would see her. Once she entered the room, the greenette looks up at her, already seated on the bed.

Her-
Lachie isn't going to think about anything but that possibility as she removes her grimy expedition attire. The actual leathers were fine. Everything else would need a thorough washing...

...yeah, these didn't fit right. Well, the shirt didn't. It rode up a little more than desired, but that was

Yuki accepts the clothes into her hands, looking down at them for a moment before looking back up at Lachie.

"Aha...right! Erm... I shouldn't be too long then!"

Would it be odd if she was hoping that it would happen? She had meant every word of what she'd said before.

For now though, it was time-
That could happen later. Very soon, actually. But first- Lachie thrusts a set of the clothes given to them by Maizie into her hands.

“Get changed, you... Oddish. I'll go to the washroom to give you some privacy.”

She still hadn't answered. She might not, until she comes back in those jammies.

Yuki falls silent as she tries to figure out what that reaction meant....The next thing she knows is that she's walking with Lachie to the guest room, making sure to stay close.

Was she really going to hold her? She's staring at Lachie as she waits to see what she does next.
A hopelessly defeated wheeze of air slips out of Lachie, cheeks burning brighter than an angry Chimchar. Though, thankfully, autopilot took over where words failed.

She stood up, averting eye contact as she gently tugged Yuki to her feet, and towards the guest room.

Yuki would nod towards Lachie, though pauses as she thinks about her wording.

"...If you would like, I wouldn't mind being held while we sleep."

Despite her tone, she was also cracking a smile right now.
A whole-body shiver runs through her body at the renewed contact, a shy, though genuine smile cracking crooked on her lips.

“Uh- thank you... you feel... really good in my arms.”

Zekrom help her, she wasn't thinking again...

“Let's get to bed.”

SHE WAS THINKING EVEN LESS THEN-

SHE WAS THINKING EVEN LESS THEN-
"We'll keep that in mind, thank you!.."

Soon the two are left alone again...Yuki looks up at Lachie for just a moment, her own heart racing as well.

She seemed to take a deep breath before leaning against Lachie's shoulder.

"...You give great hugs.."

She admits to her.
“Y- yeah! What she said-”

Lachie sputters out, ending the embrace, but keeping Yuki's hand clutched tight in her own.

“Th- thanks. I can get the clothes from here, Teddiursa...”

The little bear waddles on over to deliver the clothes, resulting in a weak, nervous smile from Lachie.

“Thanks...”

Yuki was initially caught off guard by the embrace, though very quickly finds herself not only leaning into Lachie's hold, but bringing her own arms around her.

"...We don't have to be scared and alone, right?....Not when we're together.."

She closes her eyes for a brief moment...It felt-
There's another defeated sigh, before pulling the greenette into a hesitant, though gentle embrace.

“...thank you, too. I'd be scared if you weren't here. Scared and alone...”

Maizie seems to be taking her time with the room. Perhaps she knew the two were having a moment. But after a few

"I...request that you do the same for me, alright?"

Yuki gently squeezes at Lachie's hand, gaze averting once again....She doesn't feel that she could ever tell the brunette to get off the bed.

Not when her presence sets her mind at ease like this after all.

"..Thank you...for being here."
There were many, many moments of deliberation from the brunette. After looking around the room for some sort of escape, or something to change the subject... she sighs, defeatedly.

“You're... you're not wrong. Guess that really does leave only one option, huh..?”

Lachie looks over, hardly aware

floor....And I'm sure you'd protest if I offered..... If it is alright with you, I am more than willing to share a bed with you."

Were her cheeks getting redder? They absolutely were.

I swear I'll throw my goober here at other muses soon.

Just gotta get her and her future girlfriend's introduction out of the way. 💕
November 25, 2025 at 8:03 AM
Lachie wasn't worried about coming off as rude now, she was more worried about the potential implications this could have... she never even shared bunks or tents with others at camp.

🎸 : “O- oh, alright, then... I'll get on cleaning the room out, then! Come on Teddi.”

Maizie and Teddiurrsa go

a bed to herself?"

She'd feel bad if she made Lachie sleep in the living area after everything she'd done for her...
November 25, 2025 at 6:56 AM
Oh, right- guess Lachie should do that too. It's a little stiff, eyes darting between Yuki and the floor just to make sure she's doing it right.

Maizie giggles, shaking her head.

🎸 : “Really, it's no trouble at all! If you'd like, I could clear out the guest bedroom until tomorrow?”

I first arrived there.....If that has changed, then we might really need your help."

Yuki bows towards the girl in front of them as a show of respect.

"Thank you for taking care of us!"

"Cynda!"

Even Cyndaquil is doing a little bow, copying its trainer.
November 24, 2025 at 6:54 AM
🎸 : “O- oh, no, it's okay, really! I actually enjoyed having visitors! Especially without having to worry about specialty Pokeballs for once...”

Maizie pours both girls a cup of tea, hands the steadiest they'd been the whole interaction.

🎸 : “But... are you both really going back out there?”

November 24, 2025 at 3:39 AM
“Exactly.”

Lachie mutters, before guiding the two over to the table to join Maizie. It was a lot lower set than she was used to. Maybe this was a Johtonian thing...

“Thank you, Maizie. We won't be here long. I think, anyway...”

Petilil tea? Well, at least it was something familiar...
gives Lachie's hand a squeeze while she too looks away, her cheeks turning a light shade of red.

"Two heads are better than one....Right?.."
November 23, 2025 at 11:38 PM
Forest Guardian..? That just screamed legendary, maybe even mythical Pokémon. You can't be in the scientific community of the Pokémon world without knowing of certain powerful, individual Pokémon.

“A guardian..? Maybe what happened to me was-”

Oh! Teddiursa calls out to Maizie from the

November 23, 2025 at 3:45 AM
“I'm in... a similar boat.”

Lachie scratches her cheek, giving Yuki's hand a reassuring squeeze.

“I was helping with an expedition back in my home region of Unova. We were trying to recover a pure mineral sample of Terastium, if you know what that is.”

Lachie looks over at the hulking TEC Unit

Even as Teddiursa runs off to rejoin it's Wielder, Cyndaquil is sure to stay right by Yuki and Lachie! Just in case the two needed it at all.

"Ah, right....It's nice to meet you, Maizie!.."

There's a brief pause after hearing that last name...Carver...She didn't like the implications by any-
Gosh, this was a lot more... formal? Than Lachie was used to. But she follows suit. It WAS the polite thing to do, no matter where one lived.

Once them and their Pokémon have all gotten inside, Teddiursa slides the door shut behind them, before rushing over to the younger girl's side.

Yuki finds herself being able to breathe easier once she feels Lachie's hand holding onto her own again.

"Tea would be nice..It's been a strange day.."

She admits as they begin to follow the girl, removing her own shoes before entering as well! It was only the polite thing to do after all.
“I second that. Neither of us recognize the area. Well- sort of...”

It really wasn't that easy to explain. Not without the risk of sounding mad, or confused.

🎸 : “Uh... no Pokeballs..?”

The girl finally looks over the two, properly. Neither of them were local, clearly, but their clothes...

'Wielder?' The girl was speaking more terms she just didn't understand. Wasn't that something from... history? Wait- she's read about those before...

“Y- yeah. Please, little one. Uh... Teddiursa.”

‘Teddi!’

The bear cub waves them over with an arm, still licking at its paws. Adorable...

November 23, 2025 at 2:32 AM
Lachie doesn't pay it much mind, calling Axolotl so he doesn't wander off. An 'Apricorn' tree? She'd heard of berry trees, but, seems like that was a question that could wait.

“Ax, c'mon bud!”

“Woo? Woopah!”

...if she was lucky, maybe the residents would be willing to answer a few questions.

November 23, 2025 at 2:12 AM
“I wouldn't know. I'm not from around here, so-”

Oh- well, that was a step in the right direction. She would begin leading the way toward the house, acting as casually as she possibly can.

Thankfully, Axolotl doesn't need to try, parading about like it always lived here.

"Usually you have to set up camp for that....Or go home... I've never seen any of this here.."

Yuki was getting more and more worried....But then Lachie pointed out a building that actually was familiar to her!

"I do know that place! My family is close to them....But why is everything else-
Lachie breathes a sigh of relief, immediately tensing up slightly at Yuki's question. Now, she's back to being slightly incredulous.

“Uh... really? It's a place where you can rest your Pokémon up. They also carry supplies nowadays, unless you're a town like this, apparently...”

Cyndaquil was initially confused, but would eventually join Axolotl in greeting the Slowpoke!

Yuki is grounded once she hears Lachie's voice again, nodding with her first suggestion.

"R-Right!...I know some of the locals, they'll tell us what happened!.."

She pauses...

"What's a Pokémon Center?"
November 23, 2025 at 1:20 AM
Even Lachie knew something was off. This was a LOT less developed than she was used to, even for a more rural region like Johto.

She swallows this... lump in her throat, a mix of fear and apprehension, before looking to Yuki.

“Let's... ask someone for directions. I'm sure a local can help.”

familiar sights!

So when she doesn't get that, she starts squeezing at Lachie's hand in order to ground herself.

"Where....are we?..."

The houses were all wrong....Could the forest have moved? No...But nothing else made sense.

Yuki's breathing would quicken as she looked to Lachie for support.
