Someone isn’t happy))

By any other means she would have been more patient but with an opportunity like this. It was hard to. “I-I… I wanna try it now! Please!” Even her condition was put aside for this. She just had to know… what it felt like.

Her smile shone brightly, allowing excitement to take over. Without thought she grabbed Ember’s hand and tugged them over to the front door. One could forget she was in a weaken state with her energy. “Come on! Come on! let’s go!”

“Wha-? S-Sure what is it?” Hopefully they didn’t rob a store by accident again…

"....." Her face grew pale. What. How-? "I... I do know him yes... he- I-... how did you meet him? Or better yet see him?!"

For someone who was close to him, that didn’t sound good. At least for Umiko. “What kind of offer? Did he follow you?” Something told her she already knew the answer.

There was a lot she wanted to say. How that man worked. That Polup shouldn’t follow his lead. But perhaps that was projection. “Polup… I won’t go against you if you choose that path but… I’d just be worried that you’d end up here again without anything…”

Hard to argue against that logically. Her hesitation however… “I suppose so but… are you sure? Not to say you shouldn’t trust my fa-…” No. Don’t say it… “-my teacher… just- you don’t sound very confident…”

She smiles softly at him. His look honestly is cute. Though his description was a bit vague. “Kinda? Um… I know at least two Octolings that look like that. Why do you ask?”

A part of her didn’t want Polup to leave so soon but she was her own person. Last thing Umiko wanted to do was keep her away from something she loved. “I suppose so… but if you ever need a place to stay up here my home is always open for you…” She pulled her into a warm hug.

She is real))

Super sorry for inactivity, super busy at work, hyperfixations and such… I promise to be coming back aah;;)))

Soft….))
