"Alright," Brooke says, grinning. "Suit yourself. Was just an idea, anyways."
"She's a little more... gung-ho about that sort of stuff," Rainbow says to Bea, dryly, "in case you couldn't tell."
"Hey!" Brooke protests. "Pardon me if I want to live life to the fullest! If you just save the fun stuff for important occasions, you might die before you get to do it that much!"
"Now you're just being overdramatic," Rainbow laughs, as Brooke mock-pouts.

"I don't know Rainbow, she does kind of make a point. We're going to one of the most dangerous places in an already very dangerous time, and I've never been kissed. It'd be a real waste if anything were to happen." Bee smiled shyly. "Never expected to be questioning these sorts of life choices though, so to each their own I guess."

Rainbow sighs theatrically, rolling her eyes. "Y'know, this'd be a lot easier if you just said what it was you were actually wanting," she teases.
"Yeah, like you're one to talk," Brooke says, snickering. "Hard enough getting a straight answer out of you."
Rainbow flushes, before sidling up to Bea and, before she can react, giving her a kiss full on the lips.

Rainbow's hair immediately lifts with the static coming off of Beatrice, the trainer thoroughly breathless, speechless, and stunned when the other girl does finally separate from her. There are a few false starts at conversation, as she tries to find her voice but only manages hums, buzzes, and a soft electric crackling. "T...thank you? I-if you're offering... any time you'd like would be appropriate." Bee finally stated in a very small voice, hugging Rainbow close. "I'll have to see us through our ordeal first, then I can brave something crazy like romance." She smiled dreamily. "Let's go get that outfit, before Maya closes up for the night."

"Is that offer open to all?" Brooke asks, in a singsong voice.
"Look, I'm pretty sure that diving into a death-realm from where none return takes more bravery than this would," Rainbow says, winking. "And you're willing to do that. You just need to tell yourself that."

"Only if Rainbow is okay with it." Bee let out a giddy, buzzing giggle, before taking her partners hands in hers and reciprocating that kiss with a warm, gentle tenderness. "Haha... I can do anything with this power!" She declared with a spark jumping between her antennae, and made for the door.

"Why wouldn't I be okay with it?" Rainbow asks, giggling. "I like her, too. Need to be able to share around."
"Don't let it go to your head!" Brooke calls out, laughing, as the pair head out.
The sun setting beyond the horizon paints the sky with a myriad of colours as the pair make their way to Maya's place, hand in hand. She's just setting the last of the racks outside inside as the two approach.
"Ah, good, was hoping I didn't have to wait much longer," she says, bouncing around. "Was nice to try out a different body shape. Do let me know if the fit is wrong, I'll alter at no charge. But the fit should be perfect. I am good at this."
"She is," Rainbow confirms, as they help with the fabric and just moving it safely inside.
"Alright, this should be good," Maya says, bounding into the back, before coming out with a shirt, light jacket and pants made of a material that looks to be fairly sturdy, good for travelling. With plenty of pockets, even.
"And, since I like you, and I was in the mood for it, I also made this for you," she adds, grinning, before pulling out a... very light, mostly see-through delicate set of clothing. Which very much does not look like it's for use outside at all. "Enjoy, no extra charge. Just put it to good use."
Rainbow's certainly flushing at this going on.

"Sorry for keeping you the majority of the day, I wasn't sure how long it would take to finish." Bee replied to Maya, still considering what Rainbow said about sharing. It seemed a very -this century- kind of mindset, where there wasn't enough company, or people to really require withholding oneself in that sort of way, much less jealously coveting. In this time, her concept of relationships were borderline archaic.
The outfit itself made use of her more metallic features as an accent, preferring darker contrasts to offset the silver, and she was absolutely in love with the pockets. You could never have too many pockets! Then, the addition came out and was gently draped over what she had come there for. It left just enough to the imagination that it couldn't be anything but provocative. Following the theory of 'less is more', it certainly elicited the rise out of Beatrice that Maya must've been going for. "I... thank you Maya." She managed, even as she invented new shades of red, gently bundling the diaphanous garment among her traveling clothes as though hiding them might make it a less embarrassing moment.

"No worries," the seamstress says, with a wink and a grin. "It was fun. I always love some fresh meat in my diet. Come again, yeah?"
"Uh... you... feeling okay, Bea?" Rainbow stammers out when they're outside. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize she'd do that. She's just... like that. Liking to provoke people."

"I-It's okay... she means well, and it's at a good time." Bee replies in a very quiet voice. There's a positive tone to it, and she peeks at the garment, sequestered as it is, once more. There isn't much more to say, Maya achieved her desired results, and Beatrice is left to consider a course of action.

"Ah, yes, clearly you'll be wearing that to meet with the monarchs tomorrow," Rainbow teases, before the pair head back to Brooke's house, the sun setting below the horizon as they walk. "Perfect timing."
"How was your walk?" Brooke asks, when they get back. "Hope you didn't burn off everything you ate already," she jokes.

"Nah..." Beatrice replies quietly. "Got an outfit to try on though, plenty of energy for... whatever you do at night around here." The reply seems strangely evasive for how innocuous it is. "Get anything done while we were gone?"

"Eh, unless there's a festival or something that the dark enhances," Rainbow says, "we mostly just... stay inside. It's not at all like the past, where it's lights everywhere, and there's people up and doing things all hours of the day. Some dark-types might like to enjoy the outdoors, but, other than that, people hole up."
"Oh, is that what she means?" Brooke asks, a little teasingly. "And, nah. You weren't done long, mostly just tidied up the dishes, and rested. Nice being able to take it easy."

"Back home it was night walks, and occasionally looking for Pokemon. I used to love watching the Volbeat and Illumise dance with each other, and listen to the Kricketot and Kricketune play out in the woods nearby. Excuse me a few moments, I just need to see if this fits."" Disappearing into the bedroom, she tried on her travel outfit and made sure everything was in order. There were pockets for her Pokeballs, curatives, and pesterballs. The fabric was natural, not the common nylons or polyesters from her time, but cotton, wool, and linen, reinforced at the joints with leather to make it last.
The other garment sat on the bed behind her. She tried not to look at it and let her mind wander. What was anything but another discovery or adventure? What was there to be afraid of? Rejection, part of her said, and she swatted it aside. Rainbow wouldn't, not after everything. Beatrice changed out of her travel outfit.
Opening the bedroom door once more, peering out from behind the frame, she cleared her throat softly to get Brooke and Rainbow's attentions, then slid into the doorway. Polished steel contrasted the black sheer material with silvered embroidery. Crossing her legs shyly, arms folded behind her back, she avoided eye contact with either of the two.

"I'd say it fits, quite well," Brooke says, with a grin and a wink, as she notices Bea.
"O-oh..." Rainbow stammers, blushing, once she turns.
"I have a feeling that I know what Cutie here wants to do tonight," she teases, as Rainbow flushes more. "Got room for a third, or you just wanting your knight in blooming flowers here?" she asks, nudging Rainbow forwards a little.
"Just because you were given that, don't think you have to do anything, Bea," Rainbow says, quietly. "Just let me know what you feel."

"I feel like..." Her red eyes roamed a corner of the door frame before she forced her attention into the combination living and dining room. "If I don't jump in feet first, I'll always just be an observer. Never truly feel or understand anything. Just... hiding on the sidelines. I have no idea what I'm doing half the time, and you always look to me for the answers with... with absolute trust." Taking a few more steps into the light of the main room, closer to the girls, she folded her hands in front of her. "I want to give you my absolute trust in return."
A stark inhale, and a sideways glance at Brooke. "It is your bed, I thought the invitation was in the outfit..."

"Sounds good," Brooke says, winking. "Just didn't want to presume, with you opening up like this." She grins, and grabs the hands of both Bea and Rainbow, leading them into the room.
"Oh, uh, okay," Rainbow says, before laughing. "Wouldn't have expected this a few days ago."
There's a night of exploration and closeness between the three, a bonding experience before the slumber takes them all. A night where they could just relax and bare their core selves before whatever might await in the morning. For a brief nothingness, it seems to last forever.
But, alas, morning does come eventually, Brooke having gotten up earlier and made food before waking the others. It's a little hard to discern time without windows.

The trainer finds herself surprisingly free of tensions the next morning, rising and putting on her travel outfit and stowing the other, leaning down to kiss Rainbow's forehead with a playful smile. "Who's the sleepyhead now? Come on, let's have some breakfast and we can swing by your place so you can get a change of clothes. We want to be presentable... and findable for our audience." Heading out into the kitchen, she grinned for the Durant. "Morning Brooke, sleep well in that tangle you call a bed?"

"It's only a tangle because you were in it. Some of us are considerate and don't have a bulky tail," she teases. "If you're staying here for much longer, we'll have to figure out how to accommodate that."
"Look, it's never that easy getting up after Spanning, even with that boost..." Rainbow complains.
"Suuuure, that's what it was."
"Ah, uh, anyways, yes, we should just... go and look presentable." Rainbow says, flushing. "Anything else you're wanting to do before we head up, Bea?"

"Well... one thing I guess..." Bee steals a kiss from Brooke in passing, and a handful of berries off the table. "See you when we get back Brooke! Maybe get a bigger bed while we're gone~" With a wave of her tail, she's out the door.
