[Oh huh, another trainer and another Pokemon, a round and honestly rather cute one.]

Ah... yes, that's me. May I help you?

[Hopefuully this isn't another situation like the "mother"...]

[lordofthefries]

[Well, of course it's not. Sasha is far too young to be anybody's mother.

She frowns at Allura's response. Sasha's been through people leaving and coming back (only to leave again, sigh) enough times to realize that when they go the polite to strangers route, that means they have no memory of this place. Great. She is sure Shiro is going to love that.]

You don't remember me. [It's less of a question and more of a statement, obvious by the lack of a upward tilt on the last words. She sighs deeply, clearly disappointed by this as she puts Omelette the Togepi down on the ground. He whines a bit, being the spoiled baby he is, but goes right back to munching in seconds.] You were here before and we knew each other. But you don't remember that, I know. That happens sometimes. A lot.

[heartofalioness]

... Oh. [Her confusion doesn't fade, but the remorse mingling into it is very real.] I... I'm sorry, I honestly don't. I'm sure I would recognize you if I could.

[Meanwhile, the white Vulpix newly dubbed Coressa takes a few steps towards the baby and takes a few gentle sniffs. Friend?]

[lordofthefries]

It's okay. It's not the first time that's happened.

[Surely won't be the last with Sasha's luck. She just knew she should have stayed away from getting familiar with Allura the last time around, if only for Shiro's sake, but she's really really bad at keeping those walls up. No need to a Titan to kick them in when she crumbles so easy on her own.]

I'm Mr. Shiro's fri- I live in Mr. Shiro's house. [No matter how much of a father he's become to her over the years, he will always be Mr. Shiro. Never Shiro, Shirogane, or worse yet, Takashi.] My name is Sasha.

[On the ground, Omelette furrows his brow at the Vulpix coming towards him, as if she threatens his snacktime, but the calm sniffs has him relaxing immediately. Friend? Friend. Thus, he breaks off a piece of Poffin and holds it out to her with a happy trill as a peace offering. Hungry?]

1/2

[heartofalioness]

["Keo~!" Don't mind if she does, new friend! She takes the Poffin piece gently from the tiny proto-wings before chewing on it.

Meanwhile, Allura's own expression softens into a smile.]

Well, then, it's nice to meet you again, Sasha. I'm glad that Shiro's been able to make friends--

2/2

[heartofalioness]

Wait... did you say he has a house here?

[lordofthefries]

[Omelette trills again as he goes back to munching, happy to share a meal with a friend, regardless of how many seconds it's been since they've met. Short legs mean short concept of time.]

Friends? No, we're not fri-- [She's about to say they aren't friends, solely because Sasha is absolutely convinced that if she says that word in reference to people she loves here, they'll leave. It's why she said she lives in his house! She's become rather superstitious since landing here a few years ago. But Allura unknowingly helps break her away from that line of negative thinking by asking about the Attack on Voltron accomodations.]

Yes, on the beach. [She nods energetically.] On Island Four. Lance and Pidge live there with him too.

[Sasha will leave out any other parts of Allura spending a short amount of time there because if she won't remember it, it's not important.]

[heartofalioness]

A house... With Lance and Pidge. But not Keith nor Hunk nor Coran. And... how long have they been here?

[Hooray, time shenanigans, Allura's FAVORITE.]

[lordofthefries]

Hunk used to be here. For a little while. Keith too. But both of them are gone now. Coran's still in the bathtub, though.

[Uh, someone should clarify that Sasha and Allura are thinking about two completely different Corans at this point. Sasha only knows the Omanyte who takes up residence in one of the house's bathrooms, not the Altean one.]

Mr. Shiro's been here as long as I have, so maybe four or five years? I don't remember when Lance and Pidge came here, I'm sorry. You'll have to ask them yourself.

[heartofalioness]

[Well, she'd already learned about the time bubble while on the road, or she'd be more freaked out, but still, that's... a lot of information.]

Of course... [Sigh.] Well, I'm glad they at least have shelter in this world. ... Why is Coran in a bathtub?

[Sure her advisor could be eccentric, but he still preferred sleeping in a bed, last she left him.]
