“And what kind of quest are you babbling about this time?” Yoko was bored, tired, exasperated, and hardly capable of summoning the energy required to put up with Kamina’s crazy antics. She was a woman who, while partaking in some of these crazy antics, enjoyed a night of rest under the stars, relaxing and thinking of nothing. Her friend however…
Kamina spun on his heels, shoved a finger in her direction and grinned. “The moon, Yoko! That big ol’ white thing up there!” he shouted, fixing his stance within a second to point to the sky with his feet spread apart. "Up there is our next goal! We’ll get to the moon and live there until we get bored!”
Her expression fell flat. Sometimes, he was just plain unreasonable with his optimistic ideas. “Until we get bored? What about food? Or is ‘bored’ another word for ‘dead’?” she quipped, grabbing her gun and leaning back against the rock, gently rubbing the steel with a rag. It was mostly just to look busy so that he would possibly move on with his life, but she knew it was a futile attempt. The busier one appeared, the more attention one received.
Which…wasn’t too terrible, sometimes. Her muscled companion was endearing in his own way, always fueled up and ready to go, always up for a challenge, and challenges didn’t always have to be combat-related; getting Yoko’s attention and receiving her reactions was challenge enough for the man. She sighed as he continued to talk, raise his voice, keeping her lips pressed together. Eventually, he would wander over to make sure she wasn’t sleeping, and that was what Yoko wanted: his undivided attention, him looking into her eyes…
Yoko huffed. So much for a enjoying a relaxing night under the stars…
