Angelic Chores

[can_not_fly]

[Yes, Pit may technically be High Captain and head honcho of an army, supposed to be treated with honors and generally on retain and free to do whatever unless there's an emergency...

...but he's spent the last twenty-five years of his life being the angelic equivalent to a combat butler to Palutena and fixing the continuous messes the Centurions

[Kazuki's just gonna watch a little in curiosity before leaving. But a few moments later he's back, holding a few ice cubes in his hands!]

I've heard these things don't like the cold very much... do you want help?

[can_not_fly]

[The baby metroid, completely unaware of what's coming to him from Kazuki's hands, is pulling harder, so Pit is split between wanting to match it and fearing he'll be left without a bucket and kind of floundering clumsily]

Would be much -hng- obliged! Hey, stop that! [To the little alien]

[Right then! And Kazuki's already putting the ice in a small compress and pressing it against the Metroid.]

Now... just settle down!

And if you... want another bucket we'll find you one!

[Damn, could these things even understand him?]

[can_not_fly]

[The effect is instantaneous. The little creature skrees in surprise and pain and retracts fast, leaving the bucket and retreating about two meters away]

Wow, thanks! I didn't know it was so easy-

[Pit interrupts himself when a powerful shriek comes from the metroid baby, as it goes basically vertical and tenses its claws, hissing. It's clearly very angry at the sudden cold suprise]

...uh, I'm guessing it doesn't usually do that?

[possibly_here]

Not when it's cold it doesn't.

Maybe...

[Normally when it came to facing crazy monsters, Kazuki could at least count on his Fafner. But now?]

... Maybe we should run.

[can_not_fly]

I don't run from monsters! Monsters run from me!
Remember, Pit, even if you managed to kill it, then you'd have to explain to that bounty hunter why you killed her pet.
...running it is, then! Come on, go! Start running!

[Pit's going to let Kazuki go first, though. Make sure he's between the thing and Kazuki if it pursues. It's not even a conscious thought, it's just how Pit is wired]
