Sev swallowed and nodded.
"Y-yes....I'm sorry...speaking of which, I really should..." she could barely choke out the words, the thought of what she had just done making her almost willing to crawl back to her creators just to get away from Eva's look.
"Should get to that..."
she looked at Kana apologetically, a dull pain in her chest from the look of the girl.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Kana sniffles loudly as she pulls back her tears, the girls' face now flushed bright red whilst her hair falls loosely around her eyes and forehead. She wipes her eyes with her hand and, moments after, smiles again.
Ahh!
Kana giggles softly, her mind seeming to have arrived at an amusing location.
So it was you who's smelly!
I thought it was Sanya.
Evangeline, still holding a mostly quiet yet unsettled infant in her arms, suddenly turns a funny shade of green whilst offering a disturbed glare. Without hesitation she turns around on the spot and heads directly for a closed doorway with the baby in her arms.
Kana cocks her head to one side, strands of her shimmering chocolate hair falling haphazardly across her shoulders.
Sev blinked a few times, still thrown off-balance by the girl's unusual thought patterns.
"No...No I didn't. I didn't really manage to bring any of my stuff...and everything I had was incinerated."
She frowns slightly, and flinches as she moves, the bruises on her back becoming more and more prominent.
"Ugh...I'd rather not explain it."
Looking at Kana, she swallowed slightly, then muttered quietly.
"S-sorry...for making you sad."
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Sev shrugged.
"sure, but i'm not really a cat..."
She looked at Kana, shrugging slightly.
"Some traits, but not instinct...most of it was unlearned anyway."
Walking over to the window, Sev looked out over Manhattan and the bustling populace with a slight smile. Suddenly, she looked up, and something caught her eye- something that caused her to stumble back from the window and fall over onto the lounge, a look of terror on her face.
--------------------
Flicker cursed to herself.
"Oh sh...Sparks, she's seen me."
the reply was quick in coming.
"You idiot! How?" said the voice- obviously peeved as it crackled over the radio.
"She came to the window! I'm not used to dealing with a sun, the reflection-"
"Fine, fine. Just make sure it doesn't happen again."
Sparky killed the signal before Flicker could respond. Well, at least we're sure where she is now.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Kana stands in place, watching as Sev collapses on the couch. As Sev recovers, Kana replies - apparently unaware of Sev's fright.
But you have lots of fur and whiskers and a tail and ears and you're warm and fuzzy too! You're just like a big cat!
Kana wanders over to the arm of the lounge, looking down on Sev, whose own gaze seems to be locked to the window now a few feet away.
Evangeline, halfway through changing a diaper, pokes her head out of the partially-ajar door leading to the bathroom - her watch quickly locking on the cat sprawled across her lounge.
Sev blinked at Eva, apparently suffering a complete mental failure as she tried to comprehend what had spooked her.
"I..." she started, swallowing to clear her throat. When she did speak, her voice was shaky.
"I saw...one of th-them..."
Pointing to the window, she stood, looking back at the rooftop, now empty.
"They were right there!" she frowned, looking around.
"One of Concordia's scouts...Up on the roof..."
Her voice died off as she started to doubt whether they had been there at all.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Evangeline, with what seems like a tissue in one hand, walks to the window and glares out through the decorative iron grate, eyeing off the various roof lines surrounding the hotel.
So they really want to pick a fight with me...
Evangeline trails off as she gazes out the window, seemingly contemplating something.
I want you to tell me what kind of ship these people have and anything that makes it outstanding.
Evangeline turns to face Sev bearing an expression alight with the same demonic smile as what had greeted her once before.
Sev looked up at the roof for a moment, letting out a slight hum of concentration.
"Well...the atmospheric transports are unarmed. Pretty much silent, too. But they have all sorts of assault craft, I don't know what they might have."
Looking up at Eva, she frowned slightly.
"But I'm not sure. I was never really told all about planetary...stuff."
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Evangeline seems to lose Sev's attention about her last words - the blonde's focus now on the mobile phone in her hand.
She operates it solely with her left hand, seemingly sourcing a number to dial before bringing it to her ear. Her focal attention seems to be on something through the window although exactly what is anyone's guess.
Misaka. Where are you?
Evangeline goes silent, listening to the reply from the other end of her phone.
Stay where you are. You might've grown a tail. We've got someone watching us here at the hotel.
Uh-huh.
Good.
Let's assume we're dealing with professionals. Either we're going to have our expectations met and be up for a fight or we'll blow the ever-loving crap outta them.
Yeah, nah. If they had the balls to try anything they'd've done it by now. I'm calling in some air support.
We'll come pick you up in a little while. Make sure you stay with the crowds.
Mmm. Love you too, sweetie.
Evangeline retreats the phone from her ears and presses a button on the keypad to terminate the call. She immediately dials up another number whilst now pacing around the room, apparently agitated.
It's me. I need a favour.
Evangeline's face quickly turns a nasty shade of pissed off.
Shut. Up.
Corner of Chambers street and West Broadway. Cosmopolitan Hotel.
Gimme an air lift and some guns.
How long? Stop playing with your dick and get over here.
Yeah I love you too, darling.
Evangeline, like before, terminates the call. She, having paced around most of the room during her conversations, turns to face Sev.
I called in an armed escort. If these guys wanna screw with me I'll screw right back.
