desert life au!
Oh no. I've taken a wrong turn.
[Monotone and said to no one.
This is probably a bad thing! It's still preferable to the immediate threat of raiders who he definitely didn't go out of his way to steal from and piss off, so even though Kagami don't recognize this area of the Wastes he fled to in his panic to outrun them, maybe he can take two seconds to sit and take a breather. He retrieves his spoils proudly and eats, while the sun, unforgiving, illuminates him.]
...I'll need to find shelter now that mine's been destroyed. This suuuucks.
[Maybe he could tag along with some nomads, or find an abandoned encampment. But anything abandoned wouldn't be much use for him, would it? As Kagami eats, and the adrenaline dies down, he starts to get a better look at his surroundings. The way he lost the raiders feels almost too convenient. Hm. He stores the rest of the food and water in his satchel he earned legitimately for later, and reluctantly stands back up to explore.]

...Or, if you tell me where the nearest Dead-Zone is, I'll lure them there. How long can someone survive?
no subject
[ Great jeebus, what even is this guy. Noh leans back on her haunches (and therefor his stomach) and sighs at him. ]
Any raiders local'll know the area's Dead an' just let you die out there.
no subject
He wouldn't mind that, but he's still sore from when she kicked him.]
Guess it can't be helped. It's a shame that you killed me, that I stupidly followed you into the Dead-Zone, before they could track me down. And if they want proof, they'd have to go into the Dead-Zone themselves.
no subject
[ Noh wouldn't know for certain. She's always been fine going in and out of them--but she's a Godling. She's the exception. ]
You can't see miasma so non tellin' how much you gettin' in you when you go there.
[ Only then he starts going on about how's he's died and oh nooo the raiders will just have to give up and it's sounds suspiciously like-- ]
--You tryna use me as yer shield?!
no subject
[He still wears that stupid smile, looking way too happy about this.]
I think it's a pretty good idea, don't you agree?
no subject
[ BOP. right on the head, a smack of her palm. ]
no subject
[He doesn’t know why but he kind of enjoys it when she hits him!]
But I did a good job of hiding my tracks? Is there really nothing I can do? You’re so knowledgeable!
no subject
[ Good. Be hits more, because here comes two more (slightly less hard) smacks of her palm. ]
no subject
What should I do?!
no subject
Fork over half of what you got--at LEAST. Any less than that and I'll hand you over to th' raiders myself.
After that? We gonna split--I go my way, you go yers. I ain't stickin' around for when they show up.
no subject
Kagami stops whining and seems confused by her answer. His smile returns and he tries not to giggle.]
Really? I didn’t know you were such a softy!
no subject
[ Don't call her soft????? ]
no subject
no subject
[ Good boy :> Noh's going to ruffle his hair...roughly. Because she's not soft at all!! ]
no subject
[It's rough and it almost hurts, and Kagami winces. But something about it...makes him so happy?? His eyes go as big as saucers and he beams.]
I do. I am very good at outwitting stupid people. I hope we run into eachother again. Maybe our fates are intertwined!
no subject
Aaah ah-ah. Don' go celebratin' yet--first you gotta fork over the goods.
no subject
Oh! Yes, my goods! [He reaches to the side, his satchel still on him, and opens it.] I'll even be kind and let you choose first.
no subject
All it took was a little roughin' up, but looks like you got there in the end, huh? Don' make any sudden moves.
[ While she rifles through what he's got here-- ]
no subject
His smile doesn't budge and he stays still all obedient, but Kagami is a bit sad to part with the food-- cured meats, dried food, clean water. It's the best he's eaten in a while, but Noh is still giving him half! She's already better than the Raiders.]
Would you like to rough me up more?
no subject
[ Which is not something she's against, but ho boy. BOY OH BOY did a weird lil guy wander into her midst. Even when (essentially) blackmailing him out of half his goods he looks at her all...moony-eyed.
But also: holy heck these spoils?? Noh sees the water--clean water and can't grab that fast enough for a drink. She doesn't take all of it--always ration that stuff out--but she does take two gulps before she screws the cap back on. ]
Damn those guys gonna be pissed... This shit's filtered.
no subject
[Yep, he doesn’t try hiding his admiration as he stares at her like he just stumbled upon an oasis. His eyes follow her mouth and her throat as she gulps down the water and he suddenly feels thirstier for some reason. Weird!
His smile sharpens.]
Totally worth it, right? I can’t help but feel so much joy when I imagine their faces when they learned of their misfortune.
no subject
You propositionin' me?
[ Because Noh is...not against that. Kagami's a pain in the ass and she doesn't trust him not to try and run off with stuff if she doesn't keep an eye on him, but that's not exactly anything new in the Wastes.
Just didn't expect him to be into that.
It does explain his entire pattern of behaviour up until now though.
and she does like that he enjoys sticking it to raiders. fuck those guys]no subject
And it might make you feel better to get some aggression out!
[He likes it when she hits him? But he also likes it when she’s rough and almost soft with him! He’s enjoyed her company in this unforgiving world.]
no subject
[ It is still bizarre to her that he would say that knowing show's a Godling. He doesn't look like a nomad--so either he's a really good liar (she doubts it)...or he's being sincere.
Noh huffs. ]
