Hunters HQ, Harpuia's quarters

Dec 19, 2007 08:06

It was still strange -- or at least seemed strange -- for everything in Harpuia's life to be quiet, relatively predictable, and above all painless. Not that he didn't remember when that had been the case in his own world, but it felt so depressingly long ago ( Read more... )

There was a chime from the door to Harpuia's quarters, indicating that someone had arrived.

Outside, X waited with Zero for Harpuia to answer the door. He glanced over at Zero. He knew Zero had to be somewhat nervous. Zero had been keeping his distance from Harpuia, since his arrival in their world, because he knew Harpuia had issues with his own Zero.

Zero was a bit nervous, but he wasn't about to let that show as he stood waiting next to X. He still wasn't sure how this meeting would go, but hopefully it would go well.

Startled out of him ruminations by the sudden chiming of his door, Harpuia unearthed himself from the texts and scuttled to answer it.

Which prompted a long, long moment of silent, wide-eyed blinking once he saw who stood on the other side.

X smiled, hoping to be reassuring. "Hi, Harpuia. May we come in?"

"Of course you do. And I do the same for you." X's tone was light and almost playful as he commented to Zero. "But you make it sound like we're just comrades-in-arms. You left out that whole best friends thing."

X sobered as Harpuia spoke up. "I've heard similar about other Zeros in future timelines. That he didn't remember anything about his past when he was woken out of stasis in the future..."

X frowned slightly. "...Are you sure he was trying to kill the real X?"

"Sorry about that. You have to admit, I pulled you out of scrapes a fair bit when you were still green, though." Zero turned his head to give X a small grin in response.

At the talk of his alternate, he quieted, wanting to hear Harpuia's response to X.

"Who else? He was as determined to tear his way through us and kill when he thought it was X he was hunting, as he was after he was told it was a clone after all. It didn't matter."

"Dog of the Resistance -- he did whatever they directed him to do, with no mind of his own."

There was no mistaking the bitterness in Harpuia's voice.

X frowned slightly, thinking back to how Zero had been when they'd first met. Before becoming a Hunter, even, Zero had been held in Cain Labs for examination to try to determine why he'd been maverick when he didn't show signs of it after waking. X had helped Cain get him released into his custody instead of being held in the lab indefinitely or disposed of ( ... )

X blinked in sudden realization. "You haven't even been outside the building yet, have you? We should remedy this." He smiled encouragingly to Harpuia.

"Sledding sounds like a great idea. I heard the slope is even bigger this year." X grinned over at Zero.

zero_saber January 23 2008, 10:02:14 UTC

Zero nodded in agreement with X, thinking that Harpuia could probably use a trip outside if he had spent his time here inside so far.

He then shook his head in disbelief at hearing about the slope. "Did they manage to get ahold of a loader to make it this year or what?"

The decision having been made, Harpuia waited for the two to decide just what everyone would be doing, and where (having no idea himself).

Then he fidgeted, and flicked a glance toward X.

[Phantom ...? *anxiety-over-leaving*]

_megaman_x January 23 2008, 12:13:34 UTC

X shook his head slightly. "Don't know. I'm not sure who's responsible this year."

X glanced down at Harpuia at the question. [We won't be going far. It's at one of the outbuildings on base. Does he want to come with? Maybe you could tuck him into your coat.]

X wasn't gone for long. He'd gone to his quarters first, to get his winter coat and scarf. Then he'd gone to Axl's quarters to borrow a coat for Harpuia.

Axl wasn't in his quarters, though, so X just raided his closet and left him a message. Then he headed back to Harpuia's quarters.

When X came back, Harpuia was seated on his bed with the livemetal cradled in his hands, head lowered -- though he looked up quickly enough as X approached.

"Do we have everything now ...?"

_megaman_x February 3 2008, 15:55:16 UTC

X smiled and held out the coat to Harpuia. "Yes. Here, try this on."

bloodemerald February 3 2008, 16:01:37 UTC

Slipping Phantom's livemetal pack into his pocket again, Harpuia took the coat and eyed it consideringly for a moment. He wasn't quite dubious, but ...

A minute or two of shoulder-rolling and finicky readjustments, and he had it on and properly fastened up. A few more minutes, and his winglets stopped shifting about beneath the fabric of the coat.

"Ready. I think."
