A film sounds quite entertaining. Would you like to select the one to view?
[Vesa's]
"Sure, I guess... What kinds of movies do you like?"
[Vesa's]
I do not really have an established taste for one kind or another, so anything you prefer works.
[Vesa's]
Alia smiles, picking out... Blade Runner, I suppose, since Alia's taste in movies is similarly undefined.
[Vesa's]
She is happy to watch it with her and snuggle close, smiling a little.
[Vesa's]
Alia goes to pull Vesa into her lap as it starts, and otherwise is fairly similar to Vesa as far as all that goes.
[Vesa's]
The pale girl is glad to have the contact, nestling closer.
[Vesa's]
Alia gently wraps her arms around Vesa's stomach as they watch, resting her head on the pale girl's shoulder.
[Vesa's]
She folds her hands over Alia's, holding them close.
[Vesa's]
Alia kisses her cheek, smiling, clearly enjoying the contact as well.
[Vesa's]
Vesa touches the place on her cheek where she was kissed, blinking.
[Vesa's]
Alia winces, mentally berating herself for doing that, though unless it seems like Vesa would prefer she do so, she doesn't stop holding her friend just yet.
"Sorry, Vesa..."
[Vesa's]
Vesa gently reaches back to touch her friend's lips.
It is not a problem.
I am just unfamiliar with it.
Like most things.
[Vesa's]
Alia smiles at the contact, seeming relieved.
"Alright... Is there anything in particular you'd like help becoming more familiar with?"
[Vesa's]
Well... for example, the concept of 'kissing', what does it mean? What is its significance?
[Vesa's]
Alia sigh, and explains as best she can, though she's not exactly had much chance to gain any practical experience in the significance of such matters.
[Vesa's]
She nods, looking more confused now.
[Vesa's]
"I probably did a horrible job on that, I'm sorry... I could try again, if you like?"
Naitiri observes the cord's connection, and assumes that he's using his own prosthetic as a power source. Interesting, but apparently inefficient.
"Well I'm sure we can outfit you with something, doctor. We've just ordered a recall on many of our battery-powered Revenant units. Perhaps one of their long-range fuel cells would suit your purposes?"
[Employee Lounge]
Tina is roused from her trance, but just barely, and she takes a minute to look around before realizing who spoke. "Evan, oh, hi. There you are." She smiles. "I thought you didn't use the lounge."
[Lobby]
"You'd be well compensated for such information, Mr. Talric. Now, what sorts of tests would you be willing to submit to? And how invasive?"
This is likely an important bit. The guard assumes that Talric knows a least a little of what he might be in for. Surgical brain examination, closed tests, attempts to apply magic to technology.
Gary grins and follows a fair distance behind, the door sliding closed behind them. The employee nods. "Is there anything else Elexxion can do for you, while you're here?"
[Employee Lounge]
"I don't, but others do," Evan says with a smile, "We haven't talked much, and I figured I could use a break to speak with you."
[Lobby]
"That's a bit of a loaded question. If your people can stand the inconvenience, I'd like to approve or disapprove any test before being included in it. It's not that I don't trust the safety of it all, given the nature of your business, but... It's a measure of personal safety, you understand."
Alia nods, smiling ruefully.
"I noticed, yeah... Well, you know how you prefer being snuggled up with me to just sitting and watching the movie, even though you don't get cold anymore and the bed is probably objectively at least as comfortable? It's sort of like that."
[Vesa's]
The Revenant nods, thinking that over.
I think I understand better now.
[Vesa's]
Alia smiles happily, going to kiss her cheek again.
"Good. I'm glad I could help."
((There's a post waiting for you in the Nest thread, by the way.))
[Vesa's]
She smiles gently, nestling closer and enjoying the contact.
[Vesa's]
Alia smiles as well, reaching up to gently play with Vesa's hair.
[Vesa's]
The pale girl reciprocates the hair-playing!
[Vesa's]
Alia smiles, though it's tinged with a bit of sadness after a few moments, apparently bringing up some bittersweet memories.
[Vesa's]
The Revenant frowns again, looking up at her friend.
What is the matter?
[Vesa's]
"Nothing, really... Just remembering something Chloe said, right before our first mission. Wondering if we'd all be having sleepovers and braiding each others hair afterwards."
