[spoiler]I dunno, honestly. It's just me improvising hard.[/spoiler]
[i]Helena shot after Natalie rather quickly, her combat boots thumping on the stone tiles that made the sidewalk, while her trench coat fluttered in the wind. She could've easily caught up with the other woman, but instead chose to lag behind to follow her easily, acting quick to follow up the ladder, the fire escape, and to the window.[/i]

[i]"Riiight, just don't share me with the whole crew." [/i]
-
"Why'd I do that? Naw, naw, never was one for sharin'. Anyhow, since y're still in the kitchen, y'mind gettin' me a water too?"
-
[i]"Will do," Nat said, bringing her a water from the fridge. [/i]
-
"Thanks," [i]She responded rather shortly, stopping the rhythmic tapping on her helmet to take the water, unscrewing the cap to then bring it to her lips, taking a swig.[/i]
-
[i]"So, any plans for today?" [/i]
-
"None at all. Already reported the mission info t'm'boss, so yea..."
-
[i]"Oh, cool." [/i]
-
"Y'want me out the door?" [i]She asked with a jesting tone, figuring she'd gone a tad too far with her jokes earlier, even if Nat had instigated it, kinda.[/i]
-
[i]"Nah I'm cool with you staying." [/i]
-
"Nice, nice... Y're good company, y'know, Nat? I like 't."
-
[i]"Yeah, thanks. This is some good company." [/i]
-
[i]Hel nodded in agreement as she sipped her water, throat surprisingly dry after sleeping for... well, she don't quite know.[/i]
-
[i]Nat just kinda plopped down on the couch beside her. [/i]
-
[i]A silence settled in, broken only by their mutual breathing and Helena occasionally taking a sip of her water. It wasn't awkward, though, but rather... pleasant.[/i]
-
[i]Nat eventually turned on the TV, starting up some shows she had recorded onto a box. [/i]
-
"So then, considerin' how easygoin' ya are with a definite criminal, I take it ya've some familiarity with violence 'n all that crap?"
-
[i]"Yeah, a fair bit. I tend to keep more towards a less... Aggressive route, with how I do things." [/i]
-
"I just prefer t'shoot things in the face. Or t'blow 'em up. Or both." [i]A simple woman. She just shrugged, making a bit of an "oh well" gesture with her hands.[/i] "But y're a sneaky beaky, then?"
-
[i]"Yeah. It's a lot less messy." [/i]
-
"I see, I see... Stealth's not m'thing, even 'f I [i]can[/i] go full chameleon..."
-
[i]"Full chameleon?" [/i]
-
[i]Instead of explaining, Helena decided to demonstrate, instead, the skin that was visible - including her hair - taking the colours of her surroundings, causing her to blend in as she shifted her cell composition to be akin to that of a literal chameleon.[/i] "Like so."
-
[i]"...That's -blam!-ing dope." Was all Nat could manage to say. [/i]
-
"Thanks," [i]Hel responded with a grin on her face as she returned to normal, her golden eyes carrying a delighted twinkle.[/i]
-
[i]"Do you do that with your biomass thing?" [/i]
