lover boy.

“   watch your damn back!   ”

a swift flick of her wrist, a vacuum sound muting everything else & there goes a hyperion stooge, sucked up into a phaselock whilst maya, one-handedly does her best to shoot him before she times out.  “   are you blind?! how did you not notice the hyperion territory all around you?   ”

@galbadiangunsman i did my best shh

“Well, I don’t seem to need to, with someone like you watchin’ my back,”

Irvine shoots over his shoulder with a smirk, not even glancing as he takes a shot at one ahead of him. Of course he noticed, you’d have to be a fool not to, it wasn’t that. He’s just more interested in taking things one step at a time. It all works out, for him.

Maybe not for these guys, now that she’s here as well.

“Chop chop, Irvy! You’re wasting time!”

Her excitement is almost tangible as she firmly plants herself right in the center of all the controls - her absolute favorite place to be. Even for a small drive along the island, almost everyone else would insist that she take a back seat. But Irvine usually doesn’t, although she can’t tell if it’s him simply letting her have her way, or because he’s too afraid to say otherwise. Or both.

“We’ve gotta move it if we wanna go for a joyride and bring it back before someone notices!”

“I’m comin’, I’m comin’.”

He saunters along behind her at a much more relaxed pace, even if his eyes dart around them a bit. It’s early, so nobody should be awake to notice - but that doesn’t mean he should be totally careless.

“Running makes noise, and noise means someone else’ll be more apt to come runnin’ after us.”

Despite his words, though, he wastes no time getting in beside her, jumping in with more flourish than really necessary.
