Because he can (ota)

Zero had been, for lack of a better word, hiding. Since coming to Russia he'd come down with a very bad cold. It obviously was much more than that because of his long absence. But that was all he was going to treat it as.

As soon as he felt better he resumed his normal duties. There was way too much free time around this place. Too much for the too ( Read more... )

During his exploring of the base, Mortimer found himself outside. The last time he had been out of the base was the day he arrived, and then he had not had the chance to fully take in the sights. A few birds flew by, and Toad fond himself wondering if one of them was that Amanda girl.

Wandering in the snow, Mortimer because aware of gunshots, and he figured that the moment he was feeling comfortable, of course there would be an attack. Slowly approaching the source of the sound, he came upon a man engaging in what seemed to be shooting practice.

"All right, mate?"

Lowering his gun when he heard someone approach and speak, Zero turned around to gaze at whom it was. One of the newer recruits. He noted his curious look and stared at his guns for a moment.

"Just practicing." He said simply before looking back up at him.

Mortimer cocked his head at the man and observed for a minute more before hopping closer.

"Mayhap you be the bloke what Freddy calls Zero?" Fred often spoke of his teammates, and despite all the arguments the two got into, Fred insisted that the guy was alright.

Zero watched him, steady as an arrow. He raised a slight brow before giving a small nod. Fred knew this man...ah. He was his friend he'd been referring to in the past.

"Mortimer."

Mortimer tapped his nose and pointed at Zero.

"Kewpie doll for the lady. You can call me Toad though. Fred don't, but everyone else does. Name like that tells everyone what they need know about me right from the start."

Mortimer considered oozing his hand and offering to shake, but he knew this guy could not always take a joke. And he had guns. Not gun, GUNS, with an S.

He had to admit that Mortimer, er, Toad, had an interesting appeal to him. Sort of like Fred had his own. Zero merely nodded in response.

"I imagine Fred is happy you are here."

"Oh, he was bloody overjoyed," Mort said with a grin. "Granted I was right pissed from all the booze I had, but I jumped right on him an' he caught me. Slick boy, he is."

Mortimer glanced at a gun laying nearby and prodded at it curiously.

"Will I have to learn to use one'a these things?"
