Shine 8 | And Be of Good Cheer

[sunshine_maiden]

[On some level, Sora was surprised she was as happy as she was after a sortie; she'd come to associate post-mission downtime with depression, given she'd only really failed before. So this was a new feeling, and she loved it. Loved it with a passion she never thought she'd feel for piloting or anything related to it. Sure, she hurt all over, and

[The Zeta comes down in a rather haphazard fashion, the left hand missing, but when Kamille exits, he is on fire from the adrenaline, throwing his helmet to the ground in a fit of passion and screaming at the top of his lungs-]

I SHOT DOWN 16 ENEMY SUITS! I AM AN ACE OF AXIS! YEAAAAAAH! [Stomps his helmet, spots Sora, and just dives in for a kiss.]

[zetahatsudo]

She didn't bring anything up when I talked with her last, so I don't think it's an issue. I honestly think Eri's just amused with us, for what reason I can't possibly come up with.

[Is Kamille pouting? Of course not, men don't pout, he's just making a face that looks like a pout.] It's not fair that he can make you look so much cuter just by wearing him as a hat. [Yeah, he's just being silly.]

[sunshine_maiden]

Seiren... I think she'll be fine so long as it doesn't affect my piloting. So, she shouldn't complain, yeah. Eri is amused because that's just how she is.

[Sora opens her mouth to add something about her new hat, but-] Hmph! That's why I'm the perfect partner for Sora!

Don't be petty, POTPOURRI. How do you think it looks if you're acting like this, and we've been partners for a year? You're better than this. [Sora pulls the AI down stretches the corners of his mouth comically; she then looks up at Kamille again, her face coloring as she speaks.] You're more than a fashion accessory, though, more even than the whole of what POTPOURRI is to me. You're...

[She's quiet for a second while she thinks, but then she shakes her head.] You're the thing that's keeping me going right now. You help me become the person I want to be, not the person I was. And... that's worth a lot, too, Kamille.

[zetahatsudo]

Sora... [Kamille's not blushing, he's just hot, shut up.] It means a lot to me to hear you say that. Having you by my side is... it's made me the happiest I've ever been in 18 years now. It honestly helps me get through the day, knowing that you care about me that much. Thank you.

[Is now walking around to behind Sora, and whispers into her ear-] He looks silly like that. [-something completely irrelevant. You really know how to pick them Myoudouin.]

[sunshine_maiden]

Silly Kamille. You don't have to thank me. That's the whole point of a relationship, to support each other.

[And the girl's face goes even further red as he leans in to say something, and she's thankful it's her feminine instinct to blush because it's Kamille, rather than her warrior's instinct to grab him and flip him onto the ground-] ...what?

[And then he says something stupid, and Sora can't help but start laughing, her "hat" falling off with an indignant expression. Maybe not a 10 for personality, but she's not complaining.]
