@Rune_Alchemist“Well at least it sounds interesting” Mira commented in an cheery tone, she could feel every fiber in her body vibrate with a longing and excitement that could best be related to the first time her parents took her with them on one of their royal travels - yet it wasn’t something that was rare for her to feel: in fact, she felt this longing almost every time she was about to venture into the harsh environments of the No Man’s Land. After all, where else could a person experience the wonders that existed in the world and find the treasured hidden there? Or perhaps it was just her that felt like that, Mira herself couldn’t really tell as she wasn’t one to speak about these things to anyone - or be close enough to others to get a feeling for how they viewed the world around them. Other than Lila, of course, but she was… special, after all.
“Plus,” Mira added after a brief pause as her mind juggled these thoughts for a moment, “I would love to pay a visit to the CMAS and have a bit of a chat about what their organisation have done here…”
Mira added a small notion with her right hand to the remains of the chaos that had washed over the Paradise following the brutal attack by the CMAS agents. “Although I am certain I am not alone in that” she added with a cheeky smile.
Drawing to a stop as they reached the exit, she turned towards Lila. “Well I guess we should begin those preparations for our little trip then” Mira started, “seems to me that we need a lift of some kind, no? And definitely some supplies - plus I bet you need to get your hands on some liquor to refill your reserves that you lost”
The last part she said with grin, adding a cheeky wink just to tease Lila before she continued. “So how should we do it?” she added with a more serious tone: a tone she always used whenever she had to accomplish something and that was part of her analytical and cold persona that she usually wore on the outside if she wasn’t in the company of the handful of people she actually knew.
“I guess we both need to get our belongings and equipment needed for the trip” she continued, gazing through the exit to the world beyond their little Paradise in No Man’s Land. “and of course getting some form of transportation that can carry us through the desert - though I am certain that you are much better at acquiring that than I am, after all, I am not the Diver around here with the best connections nor social skills…”
And who’s fault is that? Mira added for herself in a dry thought,
you really should start to interact more with those around you - and god forbid actually being friendly, it won’t hurt, you know? Ah shut up... Mira argued with herself. How was it even possible to be scolded by your own subconscious?
“So how about we split up and meet back here…” Mira quickly estimated the time needed for them to be able to gather the equipment needed for their mission, “at two? That should give us enough time to gather all the things needed - after all I don’t really need to gather much, I tend to travel light as you know” she grinned before nodding a farewell towards Lila and took her leave.
After the first few steps her thoughts were already occupied with the needed preparations : she had to check all her equipments, refill her ammunition as well as sharpening her blades and countless of knives - but before she had made her way too far away from Lila she turned around and added a final farewell in a surprisingly cheeky tone and a grin.
“Oh and my head ain’t that pretty!”
