hand grabs the two of hers, pulling them above kai'sa's head, a click of her gun.
nothing——empty𓈒
“ & if i said i just wanted to see ya, my little angel.ᐣ ”
uncomfortable sigh.
she would usually retaliate in moments like this.
however, she will not; allowing her back to press against the wall.
“ what do you want this time? ”
she wouldn't have done a showcase of physical affection if she knew.
another peach is devoured. and kai'sa remains unbelievably joyous.
❝ before i get fully enthralled by this fabricator, where would you like me to stay? ❞
a question. does she get a room?
"Nothin' to apo-"
Cut short by the unexpected hug Jinx stood there, usually not so fond about physical contact.
The same hand that had taken Kai'sa back on her feet went to pat her on the back.
". . .There, there. Take your time."
not without finishing the peach she has bitten.
kai'sa takes jinx's hand, pulling herself up with a smile.
❝ i apologise. it has just been too long. since i have tasted something this delicious. ❞
and then immediately, she gives jinx a massive hug before taking the tray.
Jinx can't help and smile at the view, but it quickly shifts into a weary one, Kai'sa's reaction brought back memories of her own out of nowhere.
"Here..let me help."
Taking the tray with one hand, she offers the other to the kneeling girl.
kai'sa shivers in joy, the thought of eating every single variant of peaches is pure ecstasy.
❝ kayle never told me about this device. it is impressive. truly. ❞
she grabs a peach, a normal one and proceeds to take a bite out of it.
then she falls to her knees. teary.
As they arrive before one of the wall enclosed fabricator, Jinx leans in simply.
"One variant of each peach fruit."
In an instant the fruits appear within the center, flat and hollow part on a plain tray. Looking perfectly ripe and fresh !
Jinx then gesture to Kai'sai.
she now has a favourite place to be. unlimited peaches.
and she would innocently wave to other crew members.
❝ luckily for me, i do not have any allergies to peaches. which means i can eat them forever. ❞
sometimes her thoughts are simple.
usually when she is happy.
"Sure thing, eat as much as you want everything is unlimited."
As they pass by a group of younger looking crewmates, they step asside and greet the two.
"..So long as you don't get yourself sick obviously."
purple eyes brighten significantly.
she hasn't shown this level of excitement for years.
❝ i would like to try them all! ❞
to make herself more conspicuous, the nanites that formed the “turbine” behind her swiftly merged into her back. making her look more normal.
"Food database has over five billion items registered, peaches are one of them. Pretty sure we got dozens of peach variants in fact."
Jinx notes, the two stepping into the large mess hall. Plenty crewmates sat down like any time of the day.
she follows.
walking intently like a child who was about to get some chocolate.
❝ fabricator food sounds better than corpses. and probably tastes better. ❞
-
“ and do you guys have peaches? ”
like crack to a drug addict.
She can't help but chuckle.
"Reminds me when I had my boots on the ground..sure ate 'bout anything back then too."
She gestures for Kai'sa to follow.
"Fabricator food is..well..fabricator food, you get used to it.."
eyes slightly brighten like a puppy.
❝ yeah so hungry. i know you lot have proper food. ❞
she is beyond starving.
❝ i had to eat whatever i killed during my time alone. aliens, peoples and animals. haven't had cooked food in a while.. ❞
❝ i owe her my life ten times over. kayle always helped me out just for the sake of it. ❞
a sigh of relief.
face resting against her palm for a moment.
❝ i can make it impossible to tell, should help. and yeah, prison. self inflicted. better than being nothing. ❞
"I know. I can see the inner layers. Looks almost like a portable prison."
A few more brush of eyes.
"Boss lady allowed you on last time, so I don't see any problem. Just don't let any of my engineers know about the nanites or you won't see the end of their curiosity."
Jinx's expression changes from curiousity to a frown, her right eye had already scanned the thing for any detail.
". . Nanites are strictly forbidden on board, by order of Kayle herself."
Didn't sound like a threat, nor an order..just a notice.
❝ i'll gladly join. it has been a while since i manually had to aim, and thanks again. your kindness is never taken for granted. ❞
the suit itself looks solid but upon closer inspection, the suit is compromised of trillion of nanomachines.
❝ old technology. ❞
"Once a week we do shooting contest and practice with the security teams, if you feel like joining, other than that ? The Lykara has about anything you'd need."
At that last comment about the armor Jinx can't help but check it in more detail, the tech-savvy in her just curious.
she blinks twice. nearly forgetting what a crossword was.
❝ i'm sure i can keep myself occupied, and it will just be infinitely better than flying alone. ❞
-
❝ the gear self-repairs, and the last time this thing got upgraded it cloned itself and killed me.. ❞
smile…
"I hope your brought books or crosswords to keep busy then ?
Also if your gear ever needs fixing tell me 'bout it.
I'd say upgrades too but technically speaking we're not allowed to share Asuran tech..they wanna keep all the fun stuff to themselves."
a soft chuckle escapes her.
❝ uneventful usually means less war but who knows? ❞
-
❝ and yeah, if you don't mind. i think i will be travelling with you for a bit. ❞
