“Right..” His eyes scanned the skyline, which wasn’t the best job thanks to the angle he was at, but it worked for the moment. “Ladder not too far east, and no, I don’t have a fear of heights.” Another glance around them. “What’s the plan from there? I should probably secure the suit breach at some point.”

his tongue tracks the point of an eyetooth,  PRESSING  its concentration.  he doesn’t have a plan, not yet  ( besides,  IMPULSE  has always guided him best )  &  his muscles wind with unspent adrenaline.  so it comes out a  BARK  :  ❛  how long is this gonna  TAKE  ?  ❜

It echoed loudly within him because he was hollow at the core.

He didn’t know why he’d expected the man to care in the slightest bit. It was just a small matter of life and death depending on the local contaminants, no problem.

“Yes, I can walk just fine.” Until a fever or something set in. “Where are we headed next?”

❛  i want a better vantage point.  someplace high up.  ❜    even in passive construction, his words drop solid, weighty where they land.  his chin tips up at a slant, a little wry.  &  then, a quick  TOSS  over his shoulder,    ❛   –—  not afraid of  HEIGHTS ,  are you  ?  ❜

“I..I want to stay here and help.” He replies looking at the other male from the bundle of weapon parts arrayed out before him waiting his attention. “I can fix guns and armor. Chackwas said I don’t need an amp. She said I need something to… um… to do the opposite.” The word escaped him as several did and would through his recovery. Cillian as he had chosen to call himself was in the midst of proving his worth off the battlefield as his body damaged from time spent with slavers (a time he refused to talk about though it scarred him deeply) and from the time alone without a stable supply of food to sustain it.

❛  the  OPPOSITE  ?  ❜    his breath steeps into his nose. the blunt point of his tongue knocks the backs of his teeth while his flanks bind up  &  inch toward the hike of his shoulders  ;  how desperate the collectors have made him to  CONSIDER  it  (  this  team  he’s pulling together is  NOTHING  like the combat teams back in the foxholes of n7  ) .

he shakes the thought along with his head.

& @kennthesalvager continued from HERE :

❛   –—  whatever.  ❜    his hand snaps down, dismissive  ;  he settles on his heels. irritation scatters all the way from his chin to the accordion fold of his brow, sharpened beneath his mask’s glister, & his tongue  CLUCKS  its disdain.    ❛  you can still  WALK ,  can’t you ?  i don’t have time for delays .  ❜

❛  –—  so i’ll send you to the alliance, or grissom academy.  ❜    his shoulders shunt off a passing shrug, tumbling down his arms to rattle his wrists as they pull up like a  CROSSHAIR  over his chest. black eyebrows sink together to press a  NICK  above his nose, jaw flexing out against the desert-chapped, thin line of his lip. 

❛  you’re no use to me without an  AMP .  ❜

       “You know…” voice drawled out, the straw leaving the small slot in her helmet. As if to try and impress him, her bicep CURLED to lean and support the side of her head with her empty hand. While he looked on, avoiding her gaze, as if she was something of a distraction, taking away from the progressive drunk stupor he could find himself in, her own eyes LOCKED IN. The booze worked quick; it took a moment for pupils to focus, as if some lazy kickback from an unstable scope. “You drinking here makes me think that you WANT to be social.”

       “Of course, I could be wrong, and I can quickly take my leave –––”

                                                            HE LOOKS AT her. His eyes are flushed, like those half-blinded by the coming of light, shrouded by the shadows of heavy lids. His jaw POPS, as if he's mulling some grim decision between his teeth, & his shoulders rumble in their discomfort. He doesn’t know WHAT he wants, not yet ; he presses his tongue to his lip, inhales before speaking. ❛  I’ll bite. What’s on your mind?  ❜

The platform knows, it knows it should not ask. But with a head tilt and a quiet whirl of its system, it does.

“Why?”

                              HIS EYEBROW DROPS, jumps the wrinkled velvet of his forehead ; a buffalo snort ripples down his abdomen & only the twist up of his arms draws it silent. ❛  Because that’s what I said.  ❜

“I get it, I really do. I don’t trust the Illusive Man either — hard to trust a creepy hologram. But, Commander… LEATHER CHAIR. Premium leather. Look: cup holder. I’m pretty sure this thing has surround sound too.

AND they brought you back? ———- It’s hard for me to hate Cerberus entirely.”

❛  Yeah ———–———– can’t even get peace and quiet when I’m DEAD. Lucky me.  ❜
