[For a moment or two, Fuuka didn't know what to say back. While people might hear the sound of her Espurr and Aerodactyl encouraging her, there was only dead silence on her end. As each second passed, she was starting to have second thought about asking people about this...problem.

But then again, it wasn't like she had much of a choice right? Despite that, there was only silence on her end.

...However, it also didn't take her that long either before she finally spoke up]

Um...excuse me, I hope it's not too much trouble. But is it possible for me to stay with someone for a little while? At least until I manage to find a place of my own.

I promise that I won't be much trouble and while I might not have a lot of money to pay you, I am an engineer! If there's anything you need, just feel free to ask!

[...] But um...if there's a place I can stay. Just...let me know?

[Yukiko's response is almost immediate, her Warp Band practically flying open to respond as soon as Fuuka's finished. Her voice is filled with a note of worry, almost panic.]

Fuuka, you're going to stay with me. [That's a statement, not a question.] Where are you? because I'm coming to get you right now.

[Again, statement, like it was an immutable law.]

And while I'm heading your way, what's going on?

[windyflower]

[Somehow, Fuuka wasn't surprised that Yukiko would immediately respond as soon as she was done. Although, she didn't seem to mind.

What she really needed right now was her girlfriend]

...Are you sure though? I mean, I'm near the viridian forest but I'm not sure if your parents might allow it?

[frozenflame]

Fuuka. I don't live with my parents anymore. I moved out on my own last summer, around the time I met you.

[The beating of wings sounds over the band, Bereth taking flight.]

It's not a problem for you to stay with me as long as you need. I won't have it any other way.

But what happened? What's going on?

[windyflower]

Well, if you say so? It's just...I really hope I don't bother you that much?

[And hear that? That's the sound of her mumbling even more! As she bit her bottom lip, she wanted to say something to Yukiko but nothing came out.

Instead, she'll opt for this]

...Just...stuff with my parents. That's all.

[frozenflame]

Not at all. I'd say it's about time, anyway. Since we're going to be running a business.

[The beating of wings speeds up and Yukiko scans the ground, opting not to answer until she can find Fuuka in person.

All of two minutes later she drops from the sky off the Noivern and rushes to Fuuka's side, hugging her.]

What did they say?

[Voice]

[toxicrevenger]

Well, if I'm willing to trust you with my Pokemon, I'm willing to trust you in my home.

[Voice]

[windyflower]

Oh, Pamela! Um, thank you so much!

Are you sure it won't be much of a bother though?

[Voice]

[toxicrevenger]

It definitely won't be. I'm out at the lab or doing field research enough that I'm not even home a lot of the time.

[Because what is working normal hours?]

[Voice]

[windyflower]

[...]

Um...isn't that something to be worried about? Because all that working doesn't seem like it's a good idea.

Voice

[senpaidol]

I...

[Whoops.]

Well, normally I like to offer every time someone needs a home when it's so cold out, but it sounds like your girlfriend used a Priority Move.

Voice

[windyflower]

I suppose so!

[With that, Fuuka couldn't help but give a small giggle]

Although, I'm not surprised she would respond. I just wasn't expecting her to say something so soon!

Voice

[senpaidol]

Yukiko's a really...intense girl. Especially about people she cares about, and she obviously cares about you a lot.

[Private]

D'you mind if I ask what happened, though?

Voice

[windyflower]

[Hear that? That is the sound of Fuuka having no idea what to say back to Rise! However...]

I got into an argument with my parents. That's all.

...But I think by doing that? I just made things a lot worse.

Voice

[flying_chains]

[Sounds like she got her problems worked out. But still...]

Can I ask what happened?

If you don't want to talk about it that's fine.

Voice

[windyflower]

[And there was a pause.

And a longer pause.

And an even longer pause....!]

No, it's not that I don't want to talk about it. It's just...I'm not sure how to handle this really. Just how do you get along with people who don't agree with you no matter what?

[Why yes, she is being vague on purpose!]

[flying_chains]

[She's holding her warp band RIGHT up to her ear.]

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

[windyflower]

[....Oh Morgiana...]

Oh, it's okay! But um...I was asking how do you get along with people whom you don't really like?

[Not that she doesn’t like her parents but it’s getting kind of complicated]

[wishingalone]

...Oh, dear.

[Mami can't quite keep the worry out of her voice, but... true to form, she also keeps her voice calm.]

Is everything all right, Fuuka?

video

[windyflower]

[With that, Mami will only get silence for a few seconds before she finally said something]

Well, I guess so? I know Yukiko is helping me out but...I guess I'll be okay for now though.

[For now she says]

[wishingalone]

Good. I'm glad she is.

[She sighs, then she nods her head.] If I can do anything, please let me know.

[windyflower]

[And hear that? That was the sound of a really long pause before there was a sigh from Fuuka]

...Actually, Mami, mind if I ask you something? Did...did you ever have an argument with Yosuke before? As in a really big argument?

Video

[niepokonany]

Fuuka?

Wait, like, what happened to where you were staying before?

[Master of tact and timing here. At least his heart's clearly in the right place.]

[He's not about to invite her to stay with him and Fai -- they need their space, for the time being -- but his parents have room, to say nothing of his grandparents. She's seen how much basically idle space his grandparents have, right?]

Video

[windyflower]

[And it's a good thing that Fuuka is a patient person! Although, even then, she gave him a very long pause before responding]

Well...let's just say that it didn't go as well as I thought? And especially when it comes to personal matters?

[niepokonany]

[To his (limited) credit, he does at least catch on a little with that obvious a cue. He still doesn't know what to do about it, but at least he's marginally aware what's going on now!]

Oh -- Savior. Um...

F-For sure? Well, um... Like, my parents have some spare rooms since I moved out? If you wanna crash there sometime. Or like, if you need someone to hang out with, I can be around!

[windyflower]

[It's not everyday you get into a big argument about your future with your parents. And especially if you don't agree with what they want out of you!]

Ah...i-it's okay! I know Yukiko told me that I can stay with her but...

I wouldn't mind hanging out with you whenever you have the time? ...I think I might need that right now.
