[ Now there is a face with a head of blue hair and a voice at a very distinct volume, both of which Hikaru would recognize in any world as belonging to that of one of her best friends. Pardon her while she literally jumps once, twice on the balls of her feet for joy, causing the Cyndaquil hanging off her shoulder to protest. Umi might recognize the sort of derpy expression on said Cyndaquil's face as being eerily similar to that of a certain marshmallow, not that Hikaru's focused on that at the moment. Umi's got her complete and undivided attention and enthusiasm. ]
Umi-chan, you're back!
[ Yes, back. Hikaru's a little too excited to have realized Umi's talking like she hasn't been in Johto before, but then, most people would probably be just as excited as Hikaru is if one of their best friends showed up after they hadn't seen them for a almost a whole month. ]
You're really back! [ And a certain redheaded is very, very happy to see her. Can you tell? ]
