A Creative Admirer? Part One

The sun rays beamed through the creases of the enormous sky-bound coiled tree,speckles of light beaming down on the eyes of a sleeping woman as a man nearby appears to be cooking under a campfire.

“Hmm,these evollo eggs and strawlenny should suffice for a proper meal until we get back.” he said,adjusting his black rimmed glasses with the tip of his finger before looking back at the sleeping woman. “Unbelievable...she's still asleep?”.

The woman turned to her side facing him as he approached her,snoring rather loudly. He raised a brow ,chuckling at her snoring. “Wow,she sounds just like a Potomus when she sleeps. I must make note of this. Anyway....WAKE UP,Christina.” he said,kneeling down on the soft bed of leaves she rested on,swaying her shoulder back and forth with his hand gently.

Christina sighed and whined...

“Mnnnh...go away, Heffer...”,she swatted his hand back lazily,eyes halfway opened.

Taken aback,he scoffed. “It's Hector. How dare you! Just for that,I will be eating your scrambled eggs and strawlenny .” he smirked,motioning himself to give the illusion that he was walking away her.

Christina's big ears twitched at the sound,her hand suddenly gripping his ankle firmly. “Don't even go there,HB. Fine..I'm up,let me get myself straightened out first. I'm kind of uh... bare under the blanket.” she said nervously.

He jolts up to his feet,his glasses crooked from the quick movement.“W-what?! Well then get changed! You could have ruined my reputation with that little stunt. I'm a gentleman,after all.”. He coughed,turning his back and walking away quickly as the tip of his ears turned suddenly developed a tinted shade of coral. “Ahem,I'll go and get breakfast ready while you get yourself sorted out.”

Her eyes shifted as soon as he turned around,digging for something beneath her blanket. “Oh no,I slept on it!” ,she whined,dusting off the residue of leaves as she blew the remains over what was a a thick book filled with paper. “Come on,come on!” she whispered to herself,rolling through the pages with the tip of her thumb. “Ah,there it is!” she smiled and exhaled gently. “So glad my sketch wasn't ruined! Now I have to hide it until it's time to go again.”. Those bandaged arms weaved through the pile of leaves to cover the sketchbook once more before finally getting up,her blanket falling off and revealing her white work pants and tattered black tank-top. She power walked her way over to breakfast,her movements a bit wobbly,making it awkward in appearance.

“The sloth finally awakens! Oh joy. Could you eat your food before it gets cold already?” he sighed and offered Christina her portion of food on a sturdy yet disposable plate,accompanied with a matching fork. “I've already eaten my share. Try not to gobble it down in one---”

Before he could finish his sentence,her eager fingers used her her fork to rake the last few bits of eggs and strawlenny into her mouth. “That was good!” her warm brown eyes smiled at him as she patted her stomach,right before she let out a belch.

The tip of his nose turned cherry red before she belched. “Classy. Can we go now? We need to report back to the barracks to retrieve our reward from this mission. These item grab missions are a bit tedious,but the job has to be done.” he folded his arms and started moving forward to his Skell before looking back to her. “I'm leaving without you in 4 minutes,by the way. Better get your little blanket because we aren't coming back for it.” he chuckled,opening the cockpit to his skell and revving the engine until it simply...stopped. “Hm?No fuel?!That's wonderful.”

A mischievous look washed across her face smoothly after hearing his complaint. With a joker smile,she strutted her way to a rock nearby,dipping her hand behind it to reveal a fuel recovery unit. She raised it high in the sky with both hands,waving it and giggling impishly. “Looks like you're going to have to wait for me after all!” she teased,sticking her tongue out at him before waving her butt and the fuel in the air--- running off to the tree to retrieve her blanket and sketchbook. She wrapped her sketchbook with her blue blanket and ran back outside to both of their skells. “Ok..let's go!” she smiled.

“Ha ha ha,it is to laugh. A member of the lolipop guild had a witty moment.” he folds his arms,rolling eyes,right before swiping the fuel from her clutches. “Gotcha. Now,to fuel this skell and go home.”

Her arms waved joyously as if she felt she still had the fuel in her hand..until she realized what had happened. “Hahaha—aha...ha...wait what? Hey! Give that back,it's mine!”

HB shook his head. “Correction,this is BLADE property and property of all members.I'm merely using what belongs to all of us. Now if you'll excuse me,my gluttonous rival,I have a mission to complete.” he said as he poured the last drop of fuel into his skell,hopping inside and preparing to take off,the jet engines blowing dust her way as he gave a halfhearted waved to her with an equally impish look and flew off to New Los Angeles.

“Ohh no you don't!” she hopped in her skell with her blanket and book in tow as and chased after him. She gently tapped the booster button to catch up to him.
