Hello, I'm umiko🌙✨I'm not good with splat weapons… but I try my best! 💕✨ (⚠️DNI if a minor, I’m a adult. all art is made by me unless stated otherwise)
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.
“Yeah- its not much left for me to really go back to, as much as I want to…
It’ll only be a matter of time before I wind up back here…
I should still try though, right?”
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?”
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…”
“But I’d be able to fight again, For a good cause, Helping our people back in the domes!
If I end up back here after all that, I think it’ll be worth it to know I helped them…”
As enthusiastic as her speech would seem… there is some hesitation in her movement…
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…”
“I dont think he did?
He had zapfish, I dont know how, but he wanted me to take them back to my dome… So they’d let me be a soldier again.
I think I want to take it…”
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.
Thats not a good reaction, not at all what she expected…
“Saw him outside the bakery, seemed angry about something.
I gave him money for smokes and he…
made me an offer…”

The idea of Dedf1sh herself owing a favor to /her/ sounded like dream… perhaps if Umiko was younger.
But now just felt it wasn’t necessary. Thought the sentiment is appreciated.
“Thank you but I really don’t need anything… this kindness was important to me when I arrived.”
". . . yeah. Unorganized is a way to put it."
[ Probably the most she's eaten in. . . years? It's not like her body works off much. Just eating quietly, with her thoughts for a few moments. ]
". . . if I can do anything to pay you back for this. Just let me know."
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!”
[ ! ]
"o- okay. let's go give it a whirl."
[ Throwing their street clothes on. Annaki branding for the most part. Stashing the Hero Shot just in case. ]
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.
[ Tilting her head to the side. ]
". . . that's a good reason to fight. if there ever was one."
[ Hands on hips. ]
"want to go. . . right now. or after the. . . cookies are done."
