Samusicus Office Logicus [action]

[icequeen_aran]

[What's this? Samus doing a normal office log? Yeah pretty much.

She's been a little mopey lately and seeking PRIVATE TIME to work out this residual mope. So any time this week after class-hours you might find her holed up in her office or her classroom with the door slightly ajar, probably working on a huge piece of mechanical what-the-heck-is-

Sept 10th, after EVERYONE ELSE

[pitticus]

Wandering around the school after classes were done, Pit was finally headed back to his dorm, a laundry list of homework and small chores lining his head. His thoughts were dull and unexciting to the highest, so when he heard a faint clank echo somewhere nearby, he immediately became distracted.

It came from Samus's classroom. It must be her! Finding a good way to stall himself from the tedious arrangements he had planned for himself later (naughty naughty), he slooooowly wedged the door open a bit more and peeked in.

Yes, she was in there, working on... something. Deciding she knew he was there, he widened the gap and showcased his presence with a "Hi! I thought that was you making that noise!"

[pedaltothemetal]

Oh. Now he got it. Well, he was going to give Pit the ultimate privilege, because he was fairly certain the angel wasn't going to go shout this new revelation to the world and/or try to kill him and/or sell him out to people who wanted to kill him, but now everyone was being silly about it.

He flipped his sunglasses back down and SAID NOTHING.

[pitticus]

THAT GOT PIT WHERE IT HURT.

The most dejected glaze settled over his eyes and he gunned Falcon down with them. "Heyy, come on. You don't have to go hiding anymore. I was happy to see your eyes. ...Sorry. I'm sorry."

[icequeen_aran]

Ohhhhh someone was just being shy now.

There was nothing worse than seeing an angel's HOPES AND DREAMS get crushed. Samus had to fight off a natural urge to want to remedy the situation by simply taking Falcon's glasses right off his face but instead gave him one of her usual HARD STARES to see if it would get the point across without having to exert physical force.

Stop being shy and take them off, Captain.

[pedaltothemetal]

Oh God it was like he'd just kicked a puppy and now the mommy dog was sitting there and staring at him and making him feel really super guilty. He stared back for a few long moments before he realized it was completely futile.

With a sigh, he took his glasses off again and set them down on the desk.

[pitticus]

In a hummingbird's heartbeat, Pit's mood changed completely. His eyes lit up and his smile returned; his wings even flipped a little! Mostly, he felt bad about accidentally spilling some ~secret info~, but maybe Samus would forget. Maybe.

"Yaay!" He took his crayon and pressed it against the blank paper, but... hmm. What to draw. Oh, he knew what he wanted to keep drawing.

"Let's draw monsters," he told both of them. The crayon began to scribble.

[icequeen_aran]

Ha ha no way she was going to forget you silly angel.

It was kind of funny to Samus in retrospect, knowing that all their eyes were going to be glued on the pieces of paper for the most now, but it would be a lie to say she also did not enjoy seeing the entirety of Falcon's face when he was willing to show it. Either way, it was also just as nice seeing Pit enthralled again.

"You never answered my question."

[pedaltothemetal]

Falcon was not the most artistic knife in the drawer, but he was sure he could come up with something. So while Samus set out to grill the angel, he busied himself by drawing a horrifying monster.

this was not worth the extreme wait and I am indebted to you forever

[pitticus]

To further escape from the realities that were Samus's pressing questions, Pit stared intently at Falcon's drawing (b-beautiful) and stopped midway through his shoddy beginning renditions of a sea monster he knew. That way, he could kind of watch what sorts of faces he was making. Gulp. "Oh, I was saying nothing, really. Captain just... doesn't like getting his picture taken! That's all." He completed the shape of the body on his monster.

[icequeen_aran]

The distraction had her carefully rethinking what was said and eventually she was able to put two and two together, being no stranger to sharpied-out photos. "So you showed him the old photos of you when you first came here, right?" One taken not long after the accident...

"You're lucky he showed you that, you know." She said to Pit and watched Falcon doodle.

[pedaltothemetal]

"He found them in my desk." Falcon clarified as he started coloring in his horrible octopus monster.

[pitticus]

Pit couldn't resist a smile at knowing this, or more accurately having the fact confirmed that yes, he was probably lucky. Maybe it was also in the way Samus said it. Now that he was thinking about it, they must be pretty close friends if she would know that. Samus was pretty secretive too, wasn't she? She definitely seemed that way. Both of them were very alike! They would be cute married, he thought as his smile only continued.

"I feel lucky. It's not every day you get to see something like that. Even if it was scribbled out!" Ah, memories. Had that happened almost a year ago? It didn't feel like much time had passed. Most of all he liked to remember the ride in the Blue Falcon that came after. He'd learned so much about him that day, stuff he had been aching to know.
