[wilder]

[Sorry Sheena, but if there's one thing Zelos is secure in, it's his masculinity.]

Aw! You really are my knight in shining armor!

[fujibayashi]

[She smacks him in the arm.]

I'm going to slap your mouth right off your face!

[Still doing that years later, apparently.]

[wilder]

- Ow!

You can't say that after you slapped me! And that's my arm, not my face!

[fujibayashi]

[She goes for the back of his head this time.]

Don't talk back!

[ARE THEY EVER GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE KITCHEN AT THIS RATE?]

[wilder]

[Winces and rubs the back of his head]

Ow! Sheena! I can't fly the shuttle off the ship if you give me a concussion!

[fujibayashi]

[Okay, he has a point. She huffs and crosses her arms, then settles down.]

And here I thought you couldn't get concussions with that hard head of yours.

[wilder]

[He gestures at her to go into the shuttle]

Ha ha. A concussion proof skull is not one of my abilities.

[muttered] I think.

[fujibayashi]

You don't seem very sure.

[She hops into the shuttle and takes a seat. He might notice her hand suspiciously close to his when he takes the other one.

Not that she'll make eye contact but HAND HOLDING, IT IS HAPPENING.]

[wilder]

[OH GODDESS HAND HOLDING IS HAPPENING. He'll glance at it briefly before looking away and not commenting on it. WHAT DO I DO???]

Ha- well it's not like my powers came with an instruction manual.

[Finding out some freaky shit about his powers has almost become a norm for him, so who the hell knows]

Speaking of, I've heard some people in the fleet get their powers weakened or taken away. Are yours okay?

[fujibayashi]

[YOU SHUT UP AND ACCEPT IT, THAT'S WHAT.]

I guess not. Even though the last summoner was thousands of years ago, we still had the rituals and stuff.

[She blinks.]

Oh, um-- I haven't tried summoning yet. I feel like that's a bad idea when we're on tiny ships in space. I still feel the connection, though, so I think it's fine.

They took my knives, though. They even stole the one I had in my shirt! That's totally uncalled for.

[wilder]

[FINE HE IS ACCEPTING HIS GIRLFRIEND HOLDING HIS HAND. GOSH.]

Yeah. Gotta admit, I'm impressed those survived so long.

[Like which line of librarians and monks had the foresight to do that? Generation after generation. Though that curiosity...falls a bit waylaid to her exclaim]

Wait. You kept a knife in your shirt? [Isn't THAT a little uncalled for?!]

[fujibayashi]

[Moreover, why didn't Mithos just have them all destroyed so no one could ever summon things and fuck up the balance?

We just don't know.]

... What? It's a good place to hide things!

[Wallets, cellphones, knives, apparently exspheres according to the manga bonus...]

[wilder]

[Forever a mystery]

Really? [He raises an eyebrow] So how much's stuff in there?

[Is the cup size he thought you were a lie.......]

[fujibayashi]

[She leaaaaaaans away and covers her chest with her free hand.]

It's none of your business!

[SHEENA YOU ARE DATING]

[wilder]

Uhh...

[Sheena. YOU BROUGHT IT UP TALKING ABOUT YOUR KNIVES IN THERE]

Okay, I'm not pushing for anything right now, but you do realize that dating means we'll see each other naked eventually, right?

[fujibayashi]

[Look, she's not dating him because she's capable of rational thought.

She turns bright red though.]

Well-- y-- yeah, but still! You don't have to look like you're about to go digging around in there!

[wilder]

I asked a question! You're the one who brought up keeping stuff in there!

[fujibayashi]

It's just my wallet, okay?! It's not like my chest is some... mystical bottomless storage space!

[wilder]

So a knife and your wallet. Nothing else?

[Don't crack a grin, don't crack a grin- nope okay not working so well]

I dunno about that. Most of my pockets can't hold that.

[fujibayashi]

[She facepalms hard.]

Nothing else! [FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

I can't believe we're having this conversation.

[wilder]

What? I think it's very enlightening!

[Truly!]

But fine, fine. We can change the subject.

[fujibayashi]

[She huffs again and turns away. She doesn't say anything for a minute or two, but it's not because she's ignoring him. She's trying to think of what to say. For her, it'd only been a day or two since she saw him, thanks to waiting around on the Marsiva.

But for Zelos...]

... I hope things haven't been too hard for you.

[wilder]

[Oh, concern. That's always a bit of a weird one for him. He gives a little shrug as he starts getting this shuttle to fly]

....Not really. There's no war here, so this whole thing's already leagues better than the last place we were at. I mean, the food and liquor's terrible, but...it's not so bad.

And you'd be proud of me, I've only chased off two crewmates! [He even holds up a hand with two fingers up to show. See?? JUST TWO]

[fujibayashi]

Considering we barely had food at the last place... but of course you're worried about the liquor.

[She stares at him for a moment, and then she snorts. (Very attractive.)]

Too high-maintenance for them, huh? I thought it'd be closer to like... five. You've gotten a little better with people, though, I'll give you that.

[wilder]

Why wouldn't I be? Alcohol's nice! But you're right, even if it's terrible, at least there's plenty to fill people's stomachs.

[Unlike in that moon base where he went without eating just to make sure his roommates had enough. That sucked]

Ha, why thank you. [Okay even he knows it's true] And I wouldn't say it was high maintenance! Like one of them? Kept touching me and prying into my romantic life. And when I said I didn't like that? She got pissed off and strongly suggested I get off the ship.
