The Thirteenth Sortie [Action]

[yellowthirteen]

 [It's been a very quiet life for now, and the weather's been very nice for the most part.  Thirteen's decided to take back up his hobby of fishing at one of the lakes.  It's relaxing, gets him out of the house, and helps cure boredom.  For the most part.  But regardless, in the morning, he'll be in the general store shoring up the supplies he

[No, he most certainly won't be out there alone. A certain silver-haired Murakumo will be accompanying him, armed with fishing equipment of her own and... a black cat plushie currently sitting on the bag she was using to carry said equipment. Maybe it's supposed to act as a good luck charm of sorts? Who knows.

...Her Murakumo unit will remain nearby, hovering a little above the ground, but surely that won't bother anyone, right?

As for what ν-13 is actually doing right now... well, she's not actually fishing at the moment. Currently, she's simply sitting at the edge of the lake, staring out at the water.]

[Thirteen finishes baiting the hook on his fishing rod and with a flick of his wrist, casts out into the clear, clean lake water. After the telling plunk of the hook hitting the water, he relaxes, but glances over to Nu for a moment.

She'd brought that giant sword thing; the object that gave her that armored suit she wore into battle. ...Not that he could blame her. He still carried his own handgun concealed, after all.]

[She just remembered something, that's all. Must be because she hasn't been here in a while...]

[Thirteen holds his gaze at her for a moment before turning it back to the lure bobbing gently in the water. She didn't give a mechanical status report. ...That's something, he supposed.]

All right, if you say so.

[awakenedchaos]

... [She doesn't answer this time; rather, she briefly turns to look at the plushie sitting on her bag, then returns her attention to the water. She'll get around to actually doing some fishing of her own in a bit. Just... not yet.]

[yellowthirteen]

Still. Thanks for coming out here with me. I'm grateful for that.
