Old Acquaintances and lost friends

[Bazza]

Evangeline drops herself down the elevator and, after stepping off, leaves the wired controller on the platform. She walks over to one of the legs supporting the craft and flips open a hatch. A button inside the small compartment retreats the elevator back into the ship.

She retrieves a solitary black plastic transponder key from her jeans and presses a button on its face causing the ship's anti-collision lights to blink twice in rapid succession. After the minor lightshow, Evangeline turns to Sev's general direction.

Immobiliser, remote central locking, leather pilot's seat, cruise and climate controls. Everything that matters on it works. Sure the paint's a bit buggered but can't complain for four hundred thousand and half an Eagle, 'ey?

After realising Sev isn't paying any attention Evangeline casually wafts over beside the woman who is, seemingly, staring at nothing in particular. Without being noticed Eva sneaks up right next to her, their faces finishing only millimetres away.

Evangeline joins Sev in looking in the same general direction whilst concurrently gently leaning on her, but is unable to specify what the current target is. She gives up and turns to face Sev directly, breathing on her cheeks.

I'm hungry.

Ever had a hotdog?

The unexpected outburst directly into Sev's ear causes a sudden return to reality.
