[ He gives her a sort of half-smile. ]

Through a healthy application of fire and mind bubbles, I'm assuming?

[phaselocknroll]

[ She smirks ]

Bullets, too, if they weren't so scarce.

[nostalgiabomb]

I can keep an eye out for you, if you want. For ammo, I mean. Not like I've got any use for it.

[phaselocknroll]

[ Her expression lights up, just a little ]

Would you really?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ -- The way she brightens doesn't go unnoticed, and he smiles a little, amused. ]

Yeah, just lemme know what caliber, and if I find anything, it's yours.

[phaselocknroll]

[ She reaches around to a small, glowing device clipped to the back of her belt. Her SMG materializes out of it in a flurry of blue light. She pops open the ammo chamber/ ]

It's mostly this guy I'm having trouble with.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ WHOA WHAT.

He puts his hands up to interrupt her. ]

Hang on. We gonna just-- gloss over the fact that you kinda just pulled your gun out of thin air?

[phaselocknroll]

What?

Oh, no, that was my digistruct device.

[ She tugs it off of her belt to show it to him- it's a about the length of her hand, and covered with glowing blue lights ] It digitally deconstructs things and stores them inside.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He kind of stares at it, listens to explanation, and-- ]

Magic backpack.

Got it.

[phaselocknroll]

I--- yeah, sure, let's go with that.

It just sort of appeared after all that weirdness with the well. It was empty, because of course it was, but it's nice to have.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ -- at the mention of that, he sobers a little. ]

... Right. The boon or whatever. Well, hey, that's awesome. Probably makes trips up North a lot easier, huh?

[phaselocknroll]

It's kind of nice, yeah.

... You should let me know the next time you want to make a trek. Those tunnels are more fun in groups.

[nostalgiabomb]

Yeah, nothing like shooting and kicking things to bring people together.

[phaselocknroll]

It's practically how we say hello on Pandora.

[nostalgiabomb]

I mean, as long as you don't slow me down...

[ -- joking, of course, which is clear enough with his smirk. If anything, Maya saved his ass their first trek out, but hey, any way to downplay it, right? ]

[phaselocknroll]

The only reason I'd have to slow down is so you can keep up.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He wrinkles his nose, sucks in a sharp, hissing breath. ]

Hasn't anyone ever told you, Maya, that words can hurt?

[phaselocknroll]

Don't start things you can't finish, Peter.

[nostalgiabomb]

Oh, you're on, then.

How's your schedule lookin' for some time this week? I'll give you a sec if you need to call a secretary.

[phaselocknroll]

No need. I'm ready to go right now.

[nostalgiabomb]

That eager, huh?

I mean, hey. [ He spreads his hands, taking a step toward the door. Definitely a challenge. ] If you're that eager to get shown up? Far be it from me to stop you.

[phaselocknroll]

[ She smirks, placing her SMG back in her digistruct device as she follows after him. ]

Peter, Peter. You poor thing. Try not to cry when I trounce you.

[nostalgiabomb]

Oh, big talk from the mighty Siren. But can she walk the walk? The adoring public demands an answer.

You sure you don't wanna back out now, Maya? I promise I'll only make fun'a' you a little bit.

[phaselocknroll]

You talk an awfully big game. If I recall correctly, I saved your bacon the last time we did this.

[nostalgiabomb]

Beginner's luck, kid. That, and I was giving you the confidence boost. Pretty helpful for the first day jitters in this hellhole.
