[Apparently, it's more sore than even Rey thought.]
In my world, I was repurposed for more than just war. I was to hate, track, and kill synthetics. Everything about this goes against what I was written for.
[She pauses, biting her lip. Because she isn't the only one here who's contradicted what was intended for her.]
But like you said, it's in the past. I'll make it work.
[Things change. And she's been alive long enough to experience that change herself.]
[Forgive Rey while she's still getting used to this whole "partnership" thing. She's more prone to working solo. At least, most of her past selves are.
[She hesitates, before rising from the couch as well to meet Nick at sort-of-eye-level.]
All right. We'll make it work, then. [She manages the hint of a simper.] It... sounds nice. Together.
[Not something that she's used to. But then, that's a good thing. Rey is used to some pretty horrible things.]
[As is Nick, unfortunately. They'll both have to get used to this world that is, in some ways, better than the ones they come from, even with its flaws. He gives her a reaffirming nod, glad to hear her agree.]
Together.
[They're partners in this, as synths and roommates. They'll make it work, watching out for one another in the meantime.
He heads for the stairs, flexing his fingers again.]
Think I'll head out for a bit after I get my coat, see if I can't find some oil in the stores. You need anything?
[Seeing as Rey is more adjusted to things going to shit more often than not, getting used to the flaws in Hadriel doesn't take any great deal of effort.
[Once Nick heads for the stairs, she starts to move towards her room. Only to stop when he asks what she needs. A slight smile creeps across her face.]
Unless you can grab some takeout on your way back, think I'm good.
[Perhaps her next formal request to the gods should be a Chinese restaurant. Ha.]
Tough request, unless Hope decided to set up a restaurant somewhere. But I'll see what I can do.
[He and Rey have their differences -- have had their differences, too -- and she may think otherwise, but Nick is sure he picked the right roommate. Now if only he can convince her of that, he'll be set.]
[It's nice. This is nice. It isn't often that Rey allows herself to humor other people like this, but it's a learning process.]
You seem plenty resourceful. No doubt you'll figure something out. Anything that's edible will do in the meantime, though. [And not contaminated with human meat. That'd be a plus.
[Also a plus is the fact that Rey is starting to regret this decision less and less. Things may have been pretty rocky from the start, but the waters have since settled. You all right, Nick Valentine. You all right.]
