[ She definitely wasn't wondering him, either. So good. No concern here from either of them! ]

yeah yeah I got out fine no thanks to the dumb robot.

I should be asking about you and your stupid necklace.

[levelshift]

[He is absolutely not feeling relief right now why would you ever think that.]

Calculation assistance device.

[He knows she's never going to call it that, why is he even bothering.]

It's fine. I've been in environments without readily available electricity to charge it before, so this wasn't that big of a deal.

[redheadcarrier]

yeah

necklace.

[ Anyway- ]

considering how you looked like a fish idk how true that is.

[levelshift]

[This braaaaaaaat --]

You're free to not believe me. It doesn't make any fucking difference.

[redheadcarrier]

[ Takes one to know one! ]

oh good because I don't believe you

But go ahead and die or whatever when your battery runs out next time I guess.

[levelshift]

Not that it matters since apparently death isn't permanent around here, but I'm not planning on dying. Now that we're out of the labyrinth I can let it charge somewhere with a fucking lock on the door.

[redheadcarrier]

good luck with that buddy

[levelshift]

Fuck off.

[And then.]

I'm going to the convenience store for more coffee. You need anything?

[redheadcarrier]

eat shit!!! （＞д＜）

[ What even is this. ]

ice cream.

[levelshift]

[A normal conversation between kids, that's what.]

What flavour?

[redheadcarrier]

chocolate duh

To action!

[levelshift]

Alright. I won't be very long.

[And a short while later, after getting her apartment number, he's knocking on the door, still pretty drowsy. In one of the bags he has is the aforementioned chocolate ice cream as well as some strawberry bars that are shaped like bunny heads, because that's the exact kind of thing Last Order, Worst and the Sisters would think is cute.]

[redheadcarrier]

[ Huh. She slouches her way to the door and opens it. She's dressed down - shorts and a baggy t-shirt and bare feet. She looks like a teenager who's been hanging around inside all day, complete with her hair being a bit of a mess. ]

Oh - hey. Come in, I guess - are those rabbits?

[ Cuuuuute. ]

[levelshift]

[He just shoves the bag containing the ice cream into her hands, leaving himself with the bag of coffee.]

Yeah.

[That's the only response she's getting because there is no way he is acknowledging the fact that he bought something cute for a girl.]

I'm just dropping this crap off. I'm not staying.

[redheadcarrier]

[ Aw, he cares. Although Asuka feels... a little flustered by it. She's still in that mindset where she's not sure that she should accept help from other people. Even dumb help like this. ]

Oh, yeah? You gotta go home and sit in the dark and drink coffee, huh?

[ ...so she's gonna be a pill. ]

[levelshift]

[Luckily endless sass is the kind of behaviour he gets from Worst and Last Order, so he doesn't bat an eye.]

Yeah. Then maybe I'll do a circuit of the new buildings. I already had a look at that other city we can see from here, so I might as well check for anything unusual in this

[redheadcarrier]

...you're being so boring.

[ Sigh. ]

Maybe I'll go with you. Just to make sure you're not falling all over yourself.

[levelshift]

[Oh, what. She calls him boring then states she wants to tag along. She's right, his plans aren't exactly exciting, but they feel necessary. Who knows what's actually going on with these new buildings, if anything.]

... If you really want to.

[Does this mean he have to be sociable? It's business, so hopefully she isn't expecting that much out of him.]

[redheadcarrier]

I dunno. What else am I gonna do, sit inside?

[ She shrugs, glancing away. ]

Don't think about it too hard.

[levelshift]

I'll try not to.

[Too late, he's already thinking too much about it. He lifts his shopping bag a little.]

Let me go drop this off. I'll meet you in the lobby.

[And he'll turn to head to his floor.]

[redheadcarrier]

Sure. See ya-

[ She goes to stick the ice cream in the freezer and get some shoes. She does change into a better shirt for being out and about and fix her hair up a little. So she looks more put together when she arrives in the lobby. ]

[levelshift]

[Accelerator looks the same as before - jeans, t-shirt he may or may not have slept in, hair kind of missed but in way where it's hard to tell if it's deliberate or if he just woke up like that. The only difference is he's substituted the entire grocery bag of canned coffee for a single one he's currently sipping.]

Let's go.

[He turns and heads outside, intending on walking to their first destination the old fashioned way.]

[redheadcarrier]

[ Asuka is pretty sure he just wakes up like this, because she can't imagine him putting in the effort to look artfully scuffed. ]

Where we headed first?

[ She follows, hands clasped behind her back. She looks like a teenager - just an everyday one - when she's out like this. But there's more to her, of course. ]

[levelshift]

[He points in the direction of Ramsey Farm, to the west of the apartments and hospital.]

That way. We'll do a loop around and end up back here. Should be easy enough.

[redheadcarrier]

If you say so. You're still kinda hobbling.

[ But he always is, at least while he has his necklace on low power mode. Right? ]
