Equipment is loaded up, he’s prepped for another trek to take the ring back.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

“Happy New Year, everyone. Keep up the good fight.”

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

It’s quiet—, hm.

Maybe he ought to check if anyone’s around.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

If he’s needed, he’s doing a routine weapons check.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

He returns.

A curt nod is given.

“Of course.”

[𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍 ✸⌢⌀⌢⌾ @armoredlady]

She chuckles.

< Well... You want to know how the Chozo celebrate their life? >

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

I don’t think that’s a bad thing—, though I can’t remember the last time I even celebrated my birthday. . .

[𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍 ✸⌢⌀⌢⌾ @armoredlady]

Of course handsome. Even you deserve something nice once in a while.

( waves at herself. )

'fraid you're stuck with me a little more often, though.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

Of course—, thank you, Samus.

[𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍 ✸⌢⌀⌢⌾ @armoredlady]

( hehe. )

Glad you like it. - 💕

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

Absolutely beautiful.

[𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍 ✸⌢⌀⌢⌾ @armoredlady]

For you, birthday man.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

He absolutely can—, don’t be ridiculous he could outpace her if he put his mind to it.

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝐓͟ 𝐄͟ ᅠ ᶰ ᶰ ᅠ ᅠ ֤ࣨ @ofholograms]

he can’t keep up with her .
she’s got a few paychecks to cash in
so she’ll be gone for awhile .

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

Yes ma’am.

He better see her soon, otherwise he’ll track her down. And they both know she won’t like that.

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝐓͟ 𝐄͟ ᅠ ᶰ ᶰ ᅠ ᅠ ֤ࣨ @ofholograms]

his morals get in the way .
just stay here , look after the
red and blues .

she’ll be gone for a few days anyway

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

If that’s the case—, maybe he won’t rest after all.

Maybe she’d like company?

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝐓͟ 𝐄͟ ᅠ ᶰ ᶰ ᅠ ᅠ ֤ࣨ @ofholograms]

( SNORT . * )

yeah right .
she’ll pass .

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

Or she could join him?

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝐓͟ 𝐄͟ ᅠ ᶰ ᶰ ᅠ ᅠ ֤ࣨ @ofholograms]

well , if he’s resting .
she’s going to make some money .

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

He’s getting old—, he needs to rest a bit more frequently.

Even if he’s a spartan.

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝐓͟ 𝐄͟ ᅠ ᶰ ᶰ ᅠ ᅠ ֤ࣨ @ofholograms]

bingo.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

What is?

Him resting?

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠ 𝐓͟ 𝐄͟ ᅠ ᶰ ᶰ ᅠ ᅠ ֤ࣨ @ofholograms]

interesting .

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

This is a rare moment where John’s leaned up against a window, trying to rest.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

He’s just. . . Staring out the viewport, watching the stars.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

@armoredlady A slow breath is drawn in, his head tilts to rest against hers. Another brief squeeze is given.

“. . . I know. . . But it’s good to see you again. . .”

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

Cue John reaching for @armoredlady’s hand.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽-𝟷𝟷𝟽 @OfMjolnirisms]

@armoredlady A curt nod—, hand tightening around hers.

“. . . Yes, I just. . . Missed you.”
