[ As they'd both wound up in the royal guard, it was only a matter of time before Prompto and Lena ran into each other again. He hasn't forgotten about her, his spunky partner in the training sim who had a fondness for firearms like he did, and he'd been eager to meet up with her again. Make sure she's settling in okay, shoot the breeze, maybe goof off a bit if it's a slow day.
So when he sees the patrol schedule and discovers the two of them are assigned to work together the next day, he's up all the earlier to meet her outside the guardhouse, warming up with his usual little jig of perpetual inertia. He can't hold still at the best of times, and today he's no better for his excitement to be working with her.
Aaaand as soon as he can spot her approaching, he's waving with his whole body in greeting. ]
[ Who thought that people would be excited about guard duty, as excited as Lena is about it because she's the type to always be on the move, too. With her uniform on and her stone shining.
She's smart enough to not use her abilities just to get to work quickly. There's a skip in her step as she makes her way over to the guardhouse and a small smile spreads out on her lips when she hears a familiar voice. ]
Way too long! Man, it's so cool to see that you're here. [ Grinning now, she claps her hands together annnnd -- yeah, she's gonna be cheeky and use one blink to position herself right in front of him. ]
You, too! Made it through crash-landing on the planet and everything. Man, how crazy was that?
[ A grin splits his face to match hers. Even if the refugees tended to be a pretty tight-knit group by their shared, secret origin, this is still a huge city with millions of people. He considers himself extremely lucky to be working with her in this fashion.
Then she does her "blink" thing, which is still extremely cool, and he miiiight have taken the slightest step back in surprise. Look, he's used to seeing a very different kind of warping. ]
You gotta teach me how to do that sometime.
[ He's joking, since there's little chance he could learn it, BUT JUST THINK. ]
I can say that it was certainly interesting. Not sure if I want to go through that again though.
[ There were some fun and not so fun parts to it. On the plus side, it had been a positive experience overall for Lena -- not so much for a couple of others that she knows. Now isn't the time to think back on them, however. ]
Haha, this? [ Giving him a wink, Lena will rewind her own time so she's far away from Prompto and then once again blink herself to be in the same position as before. ] As handy as it is, you don't want it.
Guess that means anyone can be a chief if they want! Maybe I should always do that if world peace comes along... [ which is unlikely. there is always someone causing trouble somewhere, but she just hopes it won't be so dangerous as before. ]
[She cracks two eggs open on the grill next to the noodles and whips them into a thin omelette, which begins to rapidly solidify. She heaps the noodles onto a plate and then sets the omelette on top of them, grabbing another thing of sauce and decorating it with a smiley-face sun.] With your zippy thing, you could be chef and waitress!
[She sets the noodles in front of Tracer.] There you go! One order of Niceoodles!
[ lena chuckles to herself. ] I feel like I would make a mess if I did that, especially with those noodles. [ which she leans down to sniff the plate, happily picking it up. ]
It smells so gooooood, I can't wait to be able to eat it.
It might take a little practice. --but dig in! [She says, leaning forward, excitedly waiting for her reaction. There's nothing better than someone enjoying your food.]
[ There's a pinch of silence, some shifting of feet and the release of a sigh. There's been a lot of things going on this day alone, and Juvia's made it a point to at least check in with those who aren't wanted by The Law. ]
When you're free, could you please call me back? Thank you.
[ Click! She leaves a message just in case the missed call notification doesn't go through. ]
[ she's going to blame work on missing this phone call and once she has a spare second to check her device, lena wastes no time when it comes to calling juvia back. ]
Yes.. everything is fine. [ She isn't going to outright tell her that it is Not, especially when she came to ask about Lena. ] Juvia just wanted to get in contact with you.
Things have been very hectic, as of late. [ Dangerous, she means. Everything is up in the air in terms of safety. ] Are you okay?
[ There's a part of Jack that would like to at least hear Lena's voice again, but he crushes down the urge to call her, keeping it to text instead. He'll leave the amount of contact that she wants up to her. He has no idea what her thoughts about his fugitive status are, or how she'll react to him contacting her out of the blue like this. ]
[ oh man. seeing the name pop up on her screen makes her heart skip a beat and she feels her chest tighten up. there's a bunch of mixed feelings there, but she knows she has to suck it up and just deal with it. ]
[ Well, that much is a relief. Lena is safe, and while it's impossible to judge what she's feeling toward him right now, all he can do is press forward. He's never been a coward. (Well, he might be a little bit of one, for not doing this in person.) ]
They had me caged up, but I managed to escape. Things seem to work differently here in Wyver. I don't think they'll be holding me accountable for what happened.
( Lena will find a small box outside her door seemingly out of the blue. inside will be some cookies (definitely bought, and she should be grateful for that), as well as a small communicator that is connected to a closed channel.
it comes with a small note, though Tracer might need some good deciphering skills to read what it says.
sorry I couldn't make it to your meeting. but if you ever need some backup, know that I'm hanging around. all you gotta do is ask.
[ those cooks are going to be happily eaten and she'll be messing around with that communicator a little bit, too. because that is just the type of person Lena is.
the note will be read a little while afterward because, well, she's not the best at deciphering skills. at least she'll be looking forward to the new year with new friends. ]
[ ...This is long overdue, admittedly, and part of the reason he's held off even longer is because he's embarrassed it's taken him this long in the first place. But...Lena deserves to know why he hasn't been around the guard for awhile. He owes her an explanation.
But first: ]
hey lena!! want to play a game called "whos lame and hasnt talked to their fave patrol buddy in way too long"?
