@Otravitor months ago. Usually? Snacks and field foods- something quick, just enough to keep her going, and only that.

She wasn't near as brolic as she had been when they'd first met, either- an observation which would only feed the fact that Silvia hadn't been eating as much as she +

question came out in a somewhat teasing tone, although Silvia seemed relatively... Pleased, with their arrangement.

[― 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐗𝐄 @infirmacadet]

Headbutt's had been a consistent form of Silvia's affection- a physical reminder that someone else was there, when physical presence wasn't always guaranteed. Most Spartans ran their shielding over their bodies in full, instead of cutting off aspects- in Silvia's case, +

the pocket of her shoulders, the soles of her feet, her hands and the jaw of her helmet. All in the name of control.

At least she wasn't in armor, for this, save for the lower half that seemed like it would never come off.

"I don't exactly hear you complainin' much about it."

@whiskeyfueIed_ Unfortunately, Silvia didn't have too much experience with the Banished. They popped up from time to time, mostly on fringe colonies, but it still wasn't often enough for her to justify... Whatever it was, she really did.

"Combat has a way of agin' people," she replied, +

@Otravitor S q u e a k.

Silvia let out a grumble, sparking the cancer left in the corner of her mouth and carefully planting Faite's cigar between her lips.

Then she leaned forward... Another indirect kiss. How often would they play this game with eachother?

"Damned fool."

[― 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐗𝐄 @infirmacadet]

Completely ignoring the recommendation- Silvia leaned her head into Faite's pinch, crossing her arms in the meantime.

"...that what it is?"

She didn't sound convinced.

[IBH-1879 'Faite' @Otravitor]

"You should. Your records definitely need an update. Specifically on your medicine and stocking up on additionals."

Rubbing her head.

"I over exerted my energy. You are going to burn me out like last time.. Jeez.. Always making my cheeks go pink.."

Pinching Silvia's cheek.

@Otravitor stop- because she finally began to eat.

[― 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐗𝐄 @infirmacadet]

@Otravitor A blindfold, maybe? Odds were, though, she'd simply compartmentalized the task- it was no different to cutting the clothes off of a heat casualty and wrapping them in a cold, wet sheet.

Nope. No different at all. Totally...

Perhaps she was desperate to get Faite's game to +

good start.

[― 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐗𝐄 @infirmacadet]

Slowly, the Spartan nodded her head- leaning toward her Commandant with only a slight hesitation. She even carefully wrapped her left hand around Faite's forearm in a gentle attempt to hold the snow-white blonde's hand in place.

Don't let her go again, Faite. That'd be a +

[IBH-1879 'Faite' @Otravitor]

Faite was willing to risk that to get her point across. The only thing standing in her way was Silvia making up her mind. And she's as broken as Faite is, just much more worse now than she previously was before.

And Faite wants to change that.

waved a dismissive hand to his offer, shaking her head no in kind.

"Thanks, Doc."

[― 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐗𝐄 @infirmacadet]

A horrible idea to taunt her- suggesting that she could be out-drank by a 'reg.

As for the days off? Maybe someone else would make use of them- but for Silvia, days off were just a day to spend thinking, and remembering everything she'd rather forget.

No thanks.

Something about control.

@whiskeyfueIed_ "Don't know... If I got paid to figure out what made 'em tick, I'd probably be stuck behind a desk somewhere."

Ironic, considering she was stuck behind a workbench- but that was her own doing. Silvia could easily offload down equipment to the actual maintenance shops, she just +
