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.
[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?!]
[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.
[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]
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.
[Oh no, he laughed. He rarely ever laughs like that and he certainly doesn't smile all the time. She wears a dumb smile on her face as she tries not to chuckle... and fails.]
Anyway, so I was thinking...going with a classic- so, have dinner and watch a movie? [At least, he's read somewhere it was a classic] I mean, I wasn't really sure what kind of movie you're supposed to watch, but we got enough movies that I'm sure we can pick something out.
[Since hey, apparently movie collections grow when you're bored out of your mind and stuck on a ship]

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?

We just don't know.]
... What? It's a good place to hide things!
[Wallets, cellphones, knives, apparently exspheres according to the manga bonus...]
no subject
Really? [He raises an eyebrow] So how much's stuff in there?
[Is the cup size he thought you were a lie.......]
no subject
It's none of your business!
[SHEENA YOU ARE DATING]
no subject
[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?
no subject
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!

[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.
no subject
Nothing else! [FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]
I can't believe we're having this conversation.
no subject
[Truly!]
But fine, fine. We can change the subject.
no subject
But for Zelos...]
... I hope things haven't been too hard for you.
no subject
....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.

no subject
[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.
no subject
[Unlike in that moon base where he went without eating just to make sure his roommates had enough. That sucked]

no subject
She cranes her head around and stares though.]
Damn. When someone's annoying your personal space, I know it's bad.
[She pauses, then looks away again. Her voice is light.]
You... really turned her down? Even though I was gone?
no subject
[Annnd there's a pause at her words. He has to swallow the sting a little]
Well...yeah.
I know I have quite a history, but I'm not a cheater. [He wasn't going to be his dad, no matter what]
no subject
It's-- it's not that I expect you to be one. I mean, your reputation back home was something else, but you're-- different, when you're with me.
You spent six months alone already and you might never have seen me again. That's a real risk. I'd like to say I wouldn't let that happen, but then...
[She trails off, not knowing entirely where she was going with this.]
... I'd understand if you hadn't waited. You can do whatever you want. I'll never try to drag you down, that's not what I'm about.
no subject
I wanted to wait, Sheena. I like you.
Just...get over the guilt thing about not being here right away, okay? Six months isn't that long.
no subject
W-- well--
[Make that physical too.]
I-I like you too. So... I'm going to do this, okay? [She squeezes his hand.] And this too.
[She leans in to kiss his cheek, since lips might be bad when he's driving.]
screw it no short hair icon fits
No fair, it's not like I can do anything back while I'm flying this thing!
no subject
That was kind of the point.
no subject
[Nevermind he's still smiling]
Anyway, so I was thinking...going with a classic- so, have dinner and watch a movie? [At least, he's read somewhere it was a classic] I mean, I wasn't really sure what kind of movie you're supposed to watch, but we got enough movies that I'm sure we can pick something out.
