Chapter 30 | Action

[vitative]

[It's the first time since Metis' arrival that Aigis is outside.

And the second time since she was brainwashed.

She's actually wearing clothes (holy shit), and sitting on a bench in the park. She looks a little lost in thought.

Bother her?]

[Alpha is sniffing around the park, tracking something down. He smells Aigis, but she's not what he's looking for, so he passes her by.]

[need_a_smoke]

[Have a Snake! He's slowly realizing that going to the park is probably not a good place to get away from all the people running around. He pauses briefly as he's walking by.]

You alright, kid?

[vitative]

[She looks up]

Oh. I...

Yes.

[need_a_smoke]

[Snake pulls a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lights one up, holding the pack toward her.]

You're gonna have to excuse me if I don't believe you, but I ain't gonna pry.

Want one?

[vitative]

[She blinks, as if confused, for a moment.]

No... thank you.

[butterflypsych]

[Metis has been worried all this time, since she had heard there would be dangers in Mayfield. Even though sister had said there would be nothing to worry about, would Metis believe it? No! Many had claimed there were dangers in Mayfield, and Metis had decided to believe those instead of her sister. Quite rare, really.

She had made few rounds from time to time to check everything was okay, but she was forced to stay home most of the night time because of her stubborn drone mother.

It was time for another of those rounds. She was hiding currently (with the great skills like her sisters!) behind few bushes.

..Yeah.]

[vitative]

[... Amazing stealth skills, Metis. Just. Amazing.

Aigis goes to examine the bushes.]

... Metis?

[butterflypsych]

[...Can't see me, don't come here, can't see me, can't see me.. Oh well.]

S-sister!?

I-I was only... only..

[With no imagination to make a believable excuse, she doesn't finish her sentence and looks around to find something to use, but she ends up finding nothing.

She is silent and looks like she's apologizing.]

[vitative]

[It's awkward for aigis, things are always awkward when Metis is involved, but she smiles.]

... You can join me.

[artwithknives]

[bothers. as in sitting down beside her]

Hey...!

[vitative]

[She looks at him. He might notice her eyes are kind of dull]

Shiki-san...

[And is her voice a touch more robotic?]

[artwithknives]

[He refuses to habeeb it.]

How are you doing today?

[vitative]

[OH MY GOD SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS HABEEB]

I... [And she looks away] am fine.

[tickingheart]

[Robo was on a walk through the park (because sometimes, his house was just to noisy and small). He doesn't notice Aigis.]

[vitative]

[but she notices him]

... K-Kaito-san?

[tickingheart]

[He freezes, shocked out of whatever he was thinking.]

Aigis-san.

[His voice is tightly controlled, his body held in a position that is advantageous for either fight or flight.]

[vitative]

[she looks away]

...

I'm sorry.
