"Will do Knox. It's quite rare for people to want to be near me right now, so thanks"
"Right, Erik. And ideas on where to start?"

"Heh. Me neither, I guess." He was on his hands and knees, straddling Switch's waist. He tried to push his feelings down so Switch couldn't detect them, but he couldn't. He felt himself falling for him, but he couldn't let himself. Oryx wouldn't allow emotional connections.

"You sure you're ok? You don't seem quite yourself right now. I mean, that injury was pretty severe. I don't even know where that jagged metal came from"
-
"Being Taken made me pretty much unkillable. I die, then Oryx shoves my soul back into my carcass."

-
"Yeah. Yeah. He's pretty bad. Especially when he's your master." Erik had leaned in closer without thinking about it. Their helmets were only a few inches apart.
-
"I bet... You can stand up now, if you want..."
-
"But what if I don't want to...?" They were almost touching.
-
S: "Well... If you don't want to, then--" J: "Hey guys, I'm ba-- whoa, you two are getting cuddly" Jaden had returned from the makeshift hangar, back to where Switch and Erik were.
-
Erik immediately pushed himself to his feet and drew his Last Word, aiming it at him. He recognized who it was and holstered it again. "Jesus! Don't do that!"
-
J: "Uh, suuure... Sorry? Should I be saying sorry or something?" S: "no, Jaden. You don't have to say sorry" Switch also got up of his back and onto his feet.
-
"I tripped, that's all. Nothin' else. Right, Switch?" He gave a barely noticeable nod to him.
-
S: "Uh, yeah sure. You actually did trip. On that piece of metal, from which I had no idea where it came from. Like, at all" J: "uhuh. Cute. Well, I just came back to say that Zaaria will be here in a moment. She had a personal run in with Aries apparently. Sounds like fun"
-
"Awesome. Cool. Yeah..."
-
S: "what about the ships?" J: "all prepped and ready to roll. I triple checked that, by the way" S: "and what about the Vex network taps?" J: "still have no idea what those are or what they do, but they're good to go as well"
-
"How...?"
-
J: "hmm, say what?" S: "how... What?"
-
"How do you know if they're good to go if you don't know how they work?"
-
J: "I don't. I lied. Sue me" S: "ugh, I'll check them..." Switch walked off the outside platform in the direction that Jaden had entered.
-
"So..."
-
"So what?"
-
"You mind forgetting that ever happened?"
-
Edited by Moot: 12/29/2015 10:15:36 PM"Oh what? The 'tripping'? Uh, sure, I can pretend. Far too adorable to actually forget though"
-
"I'm. Not. Adorable."
-
"Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that sweetie"
-
"That was just an accident! I fell on top of him and we were there for like three seconds! It wasn't going anywhere, anyway. And don't call me sweetie."
