"Hey... ladies." A female voice called out to them and Nyt turned her head to look at the newcomer.
"You're the new girls in town... right? Shouldn't you... be like... with Lisa or someone right now?" she asked.
"I'm Sukaina... by the way, I'm in charge of weapons and electricity here." “
Oh my goodness, I thought the tour started tomorrow! Should we go back, Sakaina?” She watched the girl smile in response and took it to mean that she better hurry up with the food in order to make it back to the group.
"Don't mind the shadow dork. He doesn't know how to treat people," Eddie sniffed.
"Name's Edwina, but you can call me Eddie," she offered with a wink.
"I'm in charge of lighting." She demonstrated by playing with the lights in the kitchen and Nyt could only smile, still in awe she wasn’t the only one able to manipulate waves.
"Oh, and this is...Nyt, yeah," Eddie said rather awkwardly, motioning towards her.
"She does weird shit with sound." She giggled in response.
”If you two would like I could make you something to eat. Nyt was it? I’m sure you’re hungry, and I make a killer sandwich. So what do you say?“ Mercury winked at her with a friendly smile and she blushed a tiny bit, happy he recognized her by name now.
“
You’re really kind to offer but I have my heart set on making Edwina a sandwich; she won her room pretty unfairly but I’ll let it slide,”Nyt said with a playful grin to Mercury and she carefully maneuvered between the bickering exes as she began her grilled-cheese-making process. The more the tension built up, the more grilled cheese sandwiches she made, hoping to satiate the frayed nerves. She could only imagine what each of them was feeling and carefully noted she might have to bring down the volume if they started a shouting match.
She was relieved, however, when he attempted to crack a pun with Sakaina.
”So you’re in charge of electricity? Watt do you do at a job like that?“ He was snickering softly to himself and Nyt accompanied him with a small laugh. All in all, by the time Sakaina had began to relax, Nyt ended up with enough sandwiches to feed the crew, until Lisa called out for Mercury and he responded with their location.
”We’re in the kitchen, Slash entertainment room! Love your open concept by the way. I can go look for them all if you want.“ Nyt could sense he was hurt, but she didn’t know well enough to pry. Even though Eddie was her roommate, she couldn’t help feel sorry for both of them. It was obvious they still cared for each other, by the way they handled themselves and not arrived to blows, but it was out of her control. It would be something she would have to get use to with people that weren’t necessarily related to her. Nonetheless, she put on a brave smile amidst the tension that needed to be cut with a knife. “
I’ll bring these for everyone to take. We should go join the others, then,” she said, nodding at Eddie. She secretly hoped the two would talk about what happened later on when it was bedtime, but it could also remain a subject for later.
