Just a moment--

[She'd apologise for the deafening thunk of a very solid piece of metal striking the floor in front of your screens, but she's in too bad a mood. It's the business end of a battle axe, runes inscribed along the metal edge and the weapon far too ridiculously big for a person like Katie to use. In fact, it's not temper that made her slam the stupid thing into the floor. She just can't lift it for very long, it's too goddamned heavy.

(Especially for someone who's been out cold for nearly three months, and this is what she comes back to?)]

Now. Who's responsible for this? Where did you get it?

[Anyone who saw any Tully-related flashbacks in calibrations will recognise the weapon for his. Otherwise, the runework is distinctly Scandinavian (Younger Futhark, to be precise) if there are any geeks in the audience.

...also, that's from the Atroma and it's been sitting in the cargo bay for months. Merry belated Christmas? She really appreciates it. Honest.]

---------

[In person, one can find Katie either dragging said stupid axe back to her quarters on the Vanquish, down at the fox park on the Iskaulit, or lurking at a table in Malum and getting really drunk, which is possibly not wise but par for the course.]

Oh my gosh, definitely! Is it bad that I kind of wish one would come along now? Like those temples in that underwater planet, those were awesome.

Hopefully not underwater next time, though. I prefer keeping my hair dry.

[Cats and water, man.]

No way, that was the best part! Me and Mikleo were armatized like, the whole time. It was great.

Armatized? [Not a word she knows.]

Oh! You've never seen it, that's right.

It's um, when we kind of merge? [demonstrates by lacing his fingers together] We both occupy my body equally, and we can both move how we want. It's a how a Shepherd and their seraphim can combine their strength. Because Mikleo's a water seraph, when we armatize then I can breathe underwater, and we can swim so much easier. It's soooo cool.

[...huh. That's actually a pretty familiar concept, given her own existence. Using a human shell like armour. But there's really only one mind in here, after so long.]

What do you do when one wants to go left and the other wants to go right? [She's teasing.]

We fight. [LMAO not really but sometimes] Nah, we don't really actually disagree that much when we're armatized. Usually he lets me do the steering, but doing something like that takes a lot of trust from both parties, or it falls apart.

[Where's my Tales of Zesty/Pacific Rim crossover]

I can imagine. You've known each other a very long time, haven't you?

Since we were babies! [peace sign~] Contrary to all evidence, Mikleo's a year older.

You don't say. [Dry amusement.] He doesn't seem to act the part.

He just like to pretend he's all serious. Find a topic that gets him revved up and you'll see the true Mikleo.

Ahhh, I see. Have any suggestions?

Disagree with him when he comes up with a theory. It starts out a normal debate but oooh, he can get really heated, especially if you dig in your heels.

That might be rather hard. If I don't agree, he'll think I'm agreeing.

-oh darn, you're right. Well- Mikleo knows that, so maybe he'd be able to tell? If you just started agreeing with him. But he can get kind of nasty about it if you take it too far... [as sorey knows from EXTENSIVE experience]

Y'know, maybe it'd be better just to catch me and Mikleo in it. If we all go exploring together I'm sure you'll see it in action.

[Such a wide grin.]

Is that an invitation?

You have a standing invitation to come hang out with me whenever you want.

You'll have to sign me up the next time you two go exploring, then. I have to see this bickering in action.

Oh absolutely, I'll give you a call! Maybe next time we end up somewhere, there'll be ruins to look at. I sure hope so.
