[The feed abruptly snaps in and the butt end of a jerk and hissing, snarling voice is heard, but it's hard to understand what you're staring at as there's a slam of this someone overcompensating too far for the shock they've received and sounds like they soundly hit metal -]
OHN, FUCK OW -

Wind will have my hide if anything happens to you. Where are-

Noin, is that you?
[To top it all off, Une was still mildly hungover with a giant bruise on her forehead. Not in the best of moods having to expose herself to the barrage of sight and sound that was the S. S. Thor outside her room.]

[Feet wriggle, pause as she picks up and replaces the Guide, and she finally reappears with thick gloves and a welding mask, putting aside her equipment for a moment as she slicks her slightly sweaty black hair back.]

Epyon.
Zechs, why is Epyon here?
[Her gaze centers again, as if trying to convey everything she wasn't sure how to express. Noin had always been one to take things upon herself, but that had led her into a circle called being a clam. Probably why there was the drinking thing. But she never told him about the year she spent with Sally and Une. She was still young, and that kick, despite believing in her heart's reaction, all came from her head. Pilots don't just survive explosions like that. Physics, logic, mathematic probability - all said the same thing. When she saw him alive again, it was a huge relief.
