[overkrill]

[Outside of sparring, Meenah will be alternating between once again eyeballing the Condesce's cake stand and sitting in the shade, pouring cups of water very liberally over her head and her gills.

Fuck this desert shit. Fuck it hard.

She looks bored though. Maybe someone should fix that.]

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii has spotted Meenah more than once this morning, but has hesitated to approach her. Now that she's sitting alone, though, he doesn't have excuse of wanting to stay out of sight of cake stand.

He goes over to tree, nervously pushing sunglasses into more secure perch on sniffnode, though they're in no real danger of slipping off.]

Never thanked you properly for helping. During riots. So. Thank you.

[overkrill]

[Meenah doesn't look up for a second, lips pursed and eyes locked on the ground in front of her crossed ankles. She leans forward, pouring another cupful of water over her head and then pushes her fingers back through her bangs. The water trails down her face and clings to the tips of too-long fuschia eyelashes before the former-princess finally shrugs and looks up at him from the corner of her eye.]

Weren't no big deal. I was there, and fuck knows you can't fight for shit without that freaky brain of yours, so...

[And obnoxiously enough, he can probably guess that that's the nicest way she knows how to put it, after their resonance.]

Waterebber, yo.

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii does know that's probably least offensive way Meenah could have worded things. Can't really argue with her assessment, either.

Things have changed between them, but feel fragile, as if might revert at any moment. He's surprised to realize doesn't want them to.]

Suppose that's what get for never caring much about hardware.

[He hesitates, and almost reconsiders, but finally asks:] Do you mind if sit here?

[overkrill]

Go for it.

[Meenah takes a sip from a new water bottle, scooting over some to give him more room.]

Should probubbly work on that shouldn't ya? Might need it with her around here now.

[Half the bottle is downed in a moment, and then she leans forward to pour the rest over her gills carefully.]

Just some advice.

[00110010_00110011]

[Trick of managing hardware is usually not to think too hard about what it's doing, but Psii almost always does. This time is no exception, and he sits down as if having to figure out from scratch how to arrange legs to sit on ground.]

Imagine you're correct. Especially with partner gone.

[He gives her curious look.]

Is it that hard for you to be out in heat?

[overkrill]

[Meenah watches with a combination of morbid fascination and the tiniest bit of pity- it's got to suck not being able to manage your own body quite right, no matter who you are. She blinks when he agrees with her, bringing her gaze back up to his face, and then sighs.]

Course I am. I know me- and conchsiderin' what I know aboat the otter me, she'd take the chance that you ain't got no backup to sucka you right on into her prongs again.

[Say what you will about Meenah's intelligence- but she's more impatient than she is actually stupid.]

Ain't the hot- it's the dry. This place just sucks alla the moisture right outta me. It glubbin' sucks.

[00110010_00110011]

[Is definitely true to her mindset. Always did like to find mental sore spots and poke at them. If she finds out HL is gone, will be more than happy to take advantage of Psii feeling more vulnerable.]

She underestimates how stubborn am.

[He doesn't think Meenah does anymore, if she ever did.]

Am... sorry to hear that.

[Still slightly awkward. He didn't miss how she watched him sit down.]

[overkrill]

She underestimates a lotta things from what I hear.

[Which really, she's guilty of too- considering Damara, for starters- but at least she knows it, even if she won't say it.]

Eh- what can ya do? I'm just lucky I can spend mosta the fuckin' day in the ablution trap if I ain't on a mission.

[What are these things called 'jobs' you speak of...?]

Besides, I probubbly ain't the only one hatin' it.

[And knowing that others are probably suffering too makes it that much easier to handle.]

[00110010_00110011]

Think idea anyone might challenge or contradict does not compute for her.

[As always, isn't inclined to linger on topic.]

Sun here is definitely not own favorite thing, either.

[Imagines is worse for Meenah, though.

Psii wants to talk to her, but feels uncertain. Seems as if they know each other both very well and not at all.]

Have you gone on many missions?

[overkrill]

Think she's goin' senile in her old age or somefin'?

[She shrugs and leans back on one hand.]

Ain't near as dry as the moon, at least.

[Because really. Only Meenah would ollie into outer-fucking-space.]

A couple- partner's pretty good at keepin' up when it counts.

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii thinks definitely shouldn't feel flicker of disappointment that Meenah has partner. Remembers too clearly how knotted-up and murky parts of both their minds are to have illusions about how long truce can last.]

Only got to go on one mission. Wish could do more.

And definitely don't think she is senile. Is more that... thinks reality should conform to her wishes. Not other way around.

[pranksterheir]

[He catches her when she's looking at the cake stand.] You're not going to actually eat any of that, are you?

[overkrill]

[The look Meenah gives him could bore through diamond.]

Shell naw.

[She waves the hand holding the water bottle, lips pursed in irritation.]

That beach done burned any chance of me givin' any fucks aboat anyfin she does when she got here.

[pranksterheir]

You guys don't get along?

[overkrill]

Knot ebben a little bit.

[pranksterheir]

Me neither.

[overkrill]

She ain't helped hershellf none- I was willin' to try an' be nice. But hey, can't win 'em all, right blue buoy?

[pranksterheir]

I guess not. What did she do?

[overkrill]

She wanted to krill a beach just for bein' here. Like we ain't just the same troll, moray or less.

What a tool.

[pranksterheir]

Hasn't she like... killed a whole bunch of people before? Trying to kill one person isn't really surprising.

[overkrill]

Well yeah. But she's me, you know? Exceptions should be fuckin' made.
