Yuki's face is going to stay red for a while...She takes a moment to just stare at Lachie before responding.

"I'm...I'm glad!.. I....do you usually not have good dreams?.."

She'd curiously ask, now giving Lachie's hand a little squeeze.

Yuki seemed to properly look towards Lachie...She was dreaming about her?

"Do you remember if it was...Uh...Weird in a good or bad way?"

Feeling Lachie's hand over her own...It was warm, and felt secure.

mind, she was still processing how it felt to be held like that...

Not just held, but held by Lachie...She places one of her hands just beside Lachie..Would she take it?

Yuki seems to look away after a moment in an attempt to hide the slight blush on her cheeks. She brings a hand to her Cyndaquil's head, gently petting her Pokemon.

"I...Better than I thought I would!...You?.."

The greenette asks, her gaze occasionally drifting towards Lachie. In the back of her-

else can be said, she'd begin to sit up!

"We...We should figure out what we're doing today...right?"

A brief pause...

"...We'll....We'll stick together, right?"

She turns her gaze to Lachie, waiting for an answer. Her Cyndaquil takes the opportunity to crawl into her lap!

It's only once Yuki feels herself being rolled over that she opens her eyes, making eye contact with Lachie as she manages to squeak out a response of her own.

"Ah...Good morning!.."

..Yuki gives the brunette a bit of a squeeze without thinking, her face reddening upon realizing.

Before much-

since yesterday.

"Mm..."

She'd begin to stir soon enough, though....Not that she'd move much.

..A few more minutes of this couldn't hurt, could it?

These two seemed to really need the rest after everything they've gone through before...A small squeak leaves Yuki's lips as she feels the taller girl giving her a squeeze.

...She's still asleep...It's more comfortable here than the greenette had thought. It was probably the most secure she'd felt-

"Night...."

Cyndaquil would have managed to get underneath the bed, finding rest knowing that its trainer was safe.

Yuki reaches up a hand after a brief moment of her being flustered by how close they were...That hand gets placed on Lachie's cheek as she feels their foreheads pressing against each other.

"..When you say it like that... It's so easy to believe you.."

She admits, her eyes soon closing.-

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.

usual clothes were in a similar boat to Lachie's clothing though, definitely covered with dirt.... That's what happens when you wake up on the ground after all.

"You look...nice!"

She'd attempt to compliment.

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-

to get changed!

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-

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.

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.

"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.

very warm here in Lachie's embrace.

She only looks up once she hears Maizie's return!

"O-Oh! Thank you! The wait was no trouble at all...We deeply appreciate everything you're doing for us."

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-

"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."

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.

flustered Lachie.

"It's been...strangely comforting having you close by?....In truth, I feel like I would've lost my mind soon after I exited that forest if it weren't for you."

She'd finally look back towards Lachie, now having a bit of a grip on her arm.

"I don't want you to sleep on the-

Yuki bows towards Maizie one more time as she leaves the room with her Teddiursa, soon looking back towards Lachie.

"I mean...This place...This....wherever we woke up...All of it is unfamiliar.."

The greenette fell silent as she tried to find the right words...Her gaze is on anything but the-

a bed to herself?"

She'd feel bad if she made Lachie sleep in the living area after everything she'd done for her...

Yuki seems to look towards Lachie for just a moment, cracking a small smile when she sees how stiff the other is...It...brought her a strange sense of comfort knowing that she wasn't alone here.

"Ah..I...I wouldn't mind if we shared a bed, Lachie! Honest! That way, Maizie can possibly still have-

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.

While Lachie and Maizie talk, Yuki had been gazing towards Cyndaquil...Would they ever see home again? This...was home, wasn't it?

There was so much that they didn't understand..Her attention is brought back to the conversation when Lachie looks towards her.

"The forest wasn't dangerous back when-

Petilil was at least one Pokemon that Yuki had heard of before... Petilil tea had been popular for quite a while after all!

She breathes a sigh of relief....All of this familiarity was nice after the day they've had.

"Yeah...I'm sorry if we intruded at all."

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?.."
