*Snowy would growl when Dawn shifted it and once again try to wiggle out but like last time didn't think it was worth the effort and just stayed there, growling.*

*Lillie would be back in a few minutes, carrying the dress in her arms.*

"Any particular types of clothes you are looking for?"

*She asked seeing how Dawn looked pretty stumped. She understood that feeling all too well but unlike dawn she just ended up buying a whole lot of clothes that she would probably never wear. Thankfully, she isn't that wasteful anymore as she has gotten better at picking what she likes.*

*She would scan the isle with her eyes. The clothes weren't bad but none really fitted the style of clothes Dawn was wearing at first glance.*
Gabriela
Dawn shook her head, smiling and handing Snowy back to Lillie.

"No, not really. Just something I think would look good on me, I guess." She sighed, placing her hands on her hips and turning back to scan the rows of clothes. "Something that wouldn't be all that warm would be great, though, since I don't have too many clothes that are like that. I come from Sinnoh, so it can get pretty cold. Warm weather is more of a rarity up there. Where do you come from, Lillie?"
Jesus
"Ah, I come from Alola! Its almost always warm there except a select few areas"

*Lillie thought it was a bit funny that dawn found this place hot while she found it just a little bit too cool. Though, Lillie could handle the different weather quite well because even back at Alola she was mostly in places that had air conditioners due to her work.*

"But I didn't go outside much so the weather difference doesn't really bother me- and no, I am not a shut in my work just doesn't require me to go outside-"

*Lillie would quickly clear that up- well truth be told, she was sort of a shut in due to her slowly working herself to death until Burnet and Wicke forced her to interact with her friends more and go outside. But Dawn doesn't need to know that. She would pat Snowy gently who was satisfied that its trainer was back.*
Gabriela
Dawn nodded, giggling. "I wouldn't have judged you too harshly even if you were a shut-in. But my work required me to be out and around a lot. I'm a pokemon trainer and a coordinator, so I run around to different places a lot." Her smile would falter again as she remembered why she had been outside so long for the past few years. However, since she was still around company, she tried to force her smile to stay. It... Wasn't very convincing. If there's one thing Dawn's bad at, it's lying.

"Anyway, yeah. Do you think you'll need anything else, clothing wise? I'd be happy to keep helping you look. Maybe I'll find something I like along the way!"
Jesus
"Ah, I see! Must be fun to explore different areas "

*Lillie would notice Dawns smile flatter and internally started debating if she should press on. Would seem too nosey? Was she just over reacting? No, something was definitely off. Liars know Liars or something along that lines, she forgot the quote long ago.*

"No, I think I am fine for... But are you alright?"

*Her stare seemed like she could see straight through Dawn and her smile would curl into a worried frown. She was bit nervous if she seemed a bit direct she isn't the best at comforting or confrontation. Maybe she should have been gentler? Well the words have already left her mouth and there is no way to take them back now.*
Gabriela
Dawn looked back over at Lillie, her forced smile faltering and fading into a much smaller but more genuine one. She put down the dress she was busying herself with looking at, nodding and sighing.

"I'm... Fine. It's nothing to do with *Me*," She assured Lillie. "I'm just worried about a friend of mine. He disappeared a few years ago, and nobody's seen him since. It's like he just vanished. I've spent the past few years doing almost nothing but looking for him. No thanks to those quitter police."

She shook her head. "But it's fine. He's tough. I'm sure he's okay. And, besides, I need a break. I've been thinking about him too much. I'm exhausted... So, I came here for a little vacation."
Jesus
"Ah! Yes breaks in this situation are good...*Unless you want to end up her like her*"

*Lillie would quietly mutter the last part out without even realising it. Thinking out loud as some might call it. She understood Dawns frustration but knows all too well what happens if someone gets to obsessed with bringing someone.*

*She would instinctively rub the side of her neck, this situation reminded her of her parents and she didn't like that all. She would put on a smile, it wasn't genuine. She would just wait for Dawn to change the topic to something else.*
Gabriela
Dawn tilted her head, smiling a bit more and placing a hand on her hip.

"I guess it's time for *Me* To ask *You* What's wrong, right?" She teased. "Are you okay? You look upset. I won't force you to answer, but sometimes it can help to talk about it." Dawn did feel a lot better after getting that off of her chest, so she was hoping that she could do the same for Lillie. However, she also sensed that whatever was bothering Lillie was a *Lot* More personal than her own problems.
Jesus
"Ah! You noticed?"

*She didn't expect Dawn to see through her or even if she did care enough to ask. Well, spilling just a bit wouldn't hurt.*

"It's just that- your situation reminded me of my family"

*Was that a bit too vague? She wasn't sure, she wasn't the greatest at talking about her problems well, more like she didn't really like talking about her problems. They would just burden other people and she hated the thought of doing that.*

"My father well he, dissappeared. In search of him, my mother came in contact with a venom that drove her into madness"
Gabriela
Dawn nodded, frowning a tiny bit.

"I'm... Sorry to hear that. Pardon me if I can't show much empathy- I can't say I know what that's like in the slightest," She apologized. "Though, it sounds like your mother at least was a good woman. I don't know the circumstances after the fact, so I can't really offer any words of comfort."

Dawn sighed. She turned back to looking at the clothes, smiling a bit. "But, regardless, you don't have to deal with that here, right? It's a nice break from our problems. We can just hang out and meet new people."
Jesus
"It's alright! I don't really like talking about them."

*Lillie would smile bitterly at the fact that her mother was indeed a good women. There was no lie there but this made her situation even more complicated. She didn't really want to think about it.*

"Yeah! A breaks are nice... I think? I usually don't take breaks but someone forced me too"

*Her plan was to work on her projects on the island and maybe find some experts on the topic. Fortunately for her she got a girlfriend! And unfortunately for her she cares enough to not let her work herself to death.*
Gabriela
Dawn laughed a tiny bit, nodding. "I don't take many breaks, either. I've been known to pass out in random places because I refused to sleep, so my pokemon had to take care of me," She admitted. Then, sensing a need for a shift in topic, she turned towards Lillie, holding up two different dresses. One was purple with pink patterns on it, and came down to her knees, while the other was red with purple trims, and came down to around the middle of her thigh.

"I'm kinda thinking I might go with one of these? I dunno, what do you think?"
