❝ you’re probably right I am quite lonely, but that won’t stop me from talking you know? ❞

He even gave her a playful jab on her shoulder, he was in control right now so he was somewhat happy.

[𝑫 @GLITCHINTHEWEB]

ᅠ
ᅠ
❝ yeah. ❞

That was the only way the net runner could respond, especially in the circumstance where he struggled to even communicate properly however, seeing her reaction, he believed that he at least made her a little happy.

“ friendly ? ”

she repeated, half—shocked and half—incredulous. the idea of being considered ‘ friendly ’ in any way was foreign to her these days. talia didn’t have friends or people ; all she had were acquaintances.﹙ ⤷ ﹚

hearing her words once again, he understood that she might’ve been a more silent person.

❝ just wanted to speak to a friendly face before I continue my own goal. You know how it is, everyone needs somebody to talk to. ❞

Softly scratching the side of his neck where he inserted the relic, he had went silent for a moment after her first set of words. Eyes slowly closing as he let out a soft cough.

❝ not necessarily, sometimes people gotta do things that are seen as extreme. ❞

“ if they can’t handle the chrome then they weren’t cut out for it. that’s not my problem. ”

her eyes flickered with something indiscernible ——- understanding ? there were more than enough cyberpsychos in maelstrom. she was no stranger to losing yourself. ﹙ ⤷ ﹚

❝ you are an incredibly determined person, especially if you are staying in control of your action. ❞

He wasn’t judging her, no he was complimenting her existence especially when she seemed more mentally present compared to him.

Besides she was cool looking—.

[‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍ 𝕿𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑨 ‍‍‍ 𝒀 ᴬ̲ᴺ̲ᴳ̲ @MAELSTROMFORGED]

⠀
“ . . . what are you implying ? ”

through a deadpan stare, much like her tone, icy blue hues narrowed. was she being judged ? she could never tell with ganic people.

[𝑫 @GLITCHINTHEWEB]

ᅠ
It seemed as if she was extremely cautious. for good reason, D was actually testing his Netrunner skills: she had quite a few hefty augmentations that could even make sane people jealous.

❝ I’m just curious. You aren’t a cyberpsycho which means you have a high tolerance. ❞

[‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍ 𝕿𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑨 ‍‍‍ 𝒀 ᴬ̲ᴺ̲ᴳ̲ @MAELSTROMFORGED]

⠀
she didn’t say anything for a long moment, only observing the other. he was a * 𝙉𝙀𝙏𝙍𝙐𝙉𝙉𝙀𝙍, judging by his attire.

“ hm . . . ”

talia hummed and tilted her head, bangs falling over one of her eyes.

“ do you need something ? ”
⠀

[𝑫 @GLITCHINTHEWEB]

❝ I ain’t going psycho until I kill that prick that zero’d my calm. I’m sure you understand the amount of shit I’m in at the moment but don’t worry I ain’t gone of the deep end just yet. ❞

D had gave her a simple thumbs up.

❝ my bad for
seeming so hostile. ❞

[𝑫 @GLITCHINTHEWEB]

Though it irritated him, she was right on the money; if he saw himself, he knew he wouldn’t approach. Before long he felt himself slowly beginning to relax and slowly comeback to his own state of mind.

D had looked towards the woman before slowly sitting down.

❝ Be rational. ❞ She spoke at command level, despite seeing what around her, was… everything short of rational. ❝ You almost look like you’re about to go C–Psycho. That flatlining would’ve already been in progress, and I would’ve had a chat with MaxTac. ❞

❝ my bad— ❞

Seeing how his staring may come off as insulting, he was quick to build an excuse: softly smiling before finally coming up with something that would surely work.

❝ your cybernetics
are pretty nova, cool. ❞

“ what’s wrong with you ? ”

she asked upon noticing she had company ——- and said company * still had a staring problem. most people would get zeroed for acting like that around her.

ᅠ
you feel threatened by 𝒎𝒆.

Trust me, the Afterlife whatever is not what I’m after. Hell becoming a legend is bullshit. ❞

D wasn’t sure if she was a netrunner like him but he knew the relic allowed him to utilize something dangerous against tech.

[𝑫 @GLITCHINTHEWEB]

ᅠ
ᅠ
❝ … ❞

Hearing that sort of threat, he had seen the distance between both of them before slowly pushing his hand off the wall to properly stand up straight.

❝ you say that but you’re staying at a distance: which means you plan on zeroing me or …

[▇▇▇：∕∕ 𝐈𝚂𝙾𝙼𝙴𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙲 𝐀۰ᴵ̳ᴿ̳. @TELLTHATNOVA]

❝ Have you? Then you’d better start behaving. ❞

Her eyes narrowed for the briefest of moments. Tellanova still kept her distance.

❝ OK. I can work with that name. ❞

❝ Tellanova…. Think
I’ve heard of ya. ❞

D had said as he slowly began to regain his composure before rubbing eyelids, his optics turning bright orange as he begun checking where Night City he was.

❝ D. Just call me that. ❞

[▇▇▇：∕∕ 𝐈𝚂𝙾𝙼𝙴𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙲 𝐀۰ᴵ̳ᴿ̳. @TELLTHATNOVA]

❝ Tellanova. ❞

She answered, short and sweet. Provoking someone after seeing what had been wrought was obviously not a good idea, and Tellanova wanted her clothes clean tonight.

❝ You’re next. ❞

[𝑫 @GLITCHINTHEWEB]

ᅠ
ᅠ
❝ ugh… ❞

D had reached for the back of his neck, remembering where he had slotted in the relic a few days prior but he soon leaned towards the wall pressing his hands against it for support while he rubbed his eyes.

❝ so who the 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌 are you ? ❞

[▇▇▇：∕∕ 𝐈𝚂𝙾𝙼𝙴𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙲 𝐀۰ᴵ̳ᴿ̳. @TELLTHATNOVA]

❝ Beats the hell out of me, choom. I didn’t ask. ❞

The fixer motioned to the piles of deceased individuals.

❝ I only didn’t have that idiot call NCPD because you likely would’ve flatlined them, too. ❞
