Rinku blushes as she notices Aqua's clothes in disarray. She reaches to fix it, then remembers that's probably redundant given where they're headed and just rushes her into the stairwell so other people won't see.
"No, the top floors are kinda expensive." Most of Nightwake is, but those big apartments up there cost way more than mine. But that would be so cool, she adds mentally. "I'm way closer to the ground. Come on!"
She leads Aqua up to just the third floor. When she opens the door, it's to an apartment brightly painted orange. There's a DJ booth in one corner of the living room with equipment and supplies; the fog machine is running, and Mecchan and Hina are chasing each other in circles in the fog, making happy noises. A computer sits on a desk, a large reptile enclosure with a chameleon sits on a table beside it. The Pokémon notice Rinku coming in with her friend and approach, and she pauses to let go of Aqua and pet them.
"I love you too, guys! I'm kinda busy, but don't worry. We can play later!"
Satisfied (or at least not about to cry or bite anybody), the Sobble and Zubat go back to playing in the fog. Rinku opens the closest of three bedroom doors.

"You're okay with this, right, Aqua-chan?"
