Jar

His eyes roll as Jar moves in to give him a hug. After a sigh, he hugs her back. Something is placed in his hands. His eyes go to it immediately. “What is this supposed to be?” At least they weren’t embracing anymore. Here he thought things were going to get more awkward than they already were. 

“It’s a gift my dear. Say thanks to Phobos from me. I’m sure you’re smart enought to guess what is inside that device. “I’m in the machine room if wanna talkt to me.” Another glance to the Navigator and the woman left waving to him.

Getting to a space bridge and setting a course for Earth was easy enough, if one knew how to sneak about it. And from there it was an even easier drive to Malika’s work shop. Booting up his holoform, he reached for the old weapon, slinging it over his shoulder as he jogged his way up to the garage. Checking to see if the door was locked, he easily pulled it open when he realized it wasn’t, “hey Malika? You in here?”

What kind of friends did that girl have?

If you are interested in interacting with female muses who are powerful, multi-layered and complicated, please help me spread this. I want to make a point.

“You think you’re so great? That’s adorable. I bet you think this whole station revolves around you. You’re nothing but a lowly mechanic. See, unlike you, they need my brain so my opinions kind of matter. You would do better to get on my good side.” Then Jar came closer and his eyes widened. It would be a lie if he said he didn’t miss her. “Gross. You actually think I want to touch you? You smell like smoke and what is that in your sleeve?” He rolls his eyes and shakes his head. “Fine, but don’t try anything and make it quick. I’ll do it if you leave me alone.” Porthos doesn’t want to be left alone. If he did, he wouldn’t be goading her on. 

“Well, nevermind.” She walked towards him and hug the grumpy kid tightly. It was a moment and then, while she went away, her hand slipped and stopped on the kid’s palm. “This may be useful to you.” Jar blinked when said that. “A gift from a lowly engineer.”

Here comes the big smile! “Jar!! It’s good to see y-you again.” A hint of flush on his cheeks, “i- suppose we can drink, just for today.”

“I missed you so much, my beloved officer.” She whispered in Jin’s ear “ Coffee taste different if you don't do it“

“I never said you were better than me and stop trying to take whatever scraps of kindness you can from me. It’s not like they’re intentional.” Porthos had to admit this felt familiar, even if he can’t stand the smell of Jar smoking. “Whatever. If you die, at least do it to something cool so Phobos and I will have something interesting to talk about.” If she died, he wouldn’t have anyone around to talk to since Phobos and the other navigators have been busy. Of course she didn’t need to know that. “Anyway what brings you here to bother me specifically? Don’t you have something better to do?” It’s nothing like thanking her for giving him her time, but it will have to do. 

Jar took her cigarette in her hand, squeeze it in the fist and feeling the glove a little warmer than usual. But she didn’t seem care. Porthos was right: she wasn’t here by chance. “Oh, at least you still talk with Phobos. Don’t worry, when I’ll die everyone will talk about my performance for month.” An arrogant smile appeared in her face.  “I’m here because I want to mess with you.” She stopped, looked around and approaced Porthos. “Come on, I’m still alive! Don’t you hug me?” When Jar opened her arms, a small thing appeared form her sleeve. A device.

“I’m nothing like Sid. That rust bucket can’t even be compared to me. And what do you mean by inferiority complex? I’m impressed though. It’s such a big word for you.” Porthos rolled his eyes, but he had to admit that arguing with Jar was better than actually getting any work done. “And I’m not annoying enough apparently because here you are, being twice as irritating.” There’s happiness in his eyes, even if he’s doing his best to give her a glare. 

She smiled at the guy. Probably she’ll never tell him, but Jar missed that situation. Argue with him made her feel at home. Another deep breath and her face relaxed. “I’m impressed that you could understand this big word.” She laughed a little, never took her gaze away. “Oh, what a compliment! At least you admitted that I’m better than you!” He surely grows up, Jar knows that by the gaze in his eyes. Another soft smile: she missed him.

“Sassy? You think I’m sassy now? That’s hilarious and the furthest thing from the truth. And that’s what I speak. The truth. But you think I’m annoying? Aww. That’s so sweet. Do tell me how much I come up in your thoughts. Honestly I can’t blame you for obsessing over me.” His nose scrunched in disgust when he caught a whiff of her cigarette. “Um should you even be smoking in here? Why do you have to be so gross? I’m snitching to Sid.”

“Aww, don’t overreacting only because I give attenction to you. I’m not your mom... Fortunately. The truth? The truth is that you must have a inferiority complex. Stubborn, annoying and sassy... Like Doctor Scrap. What they said? Idiots always go in pairs. Yeah, you’re definitely like Sid.”

And just when Porthos thought he was safe from annoying pests, Jar comes back around. “How unfortunate. And here I was hoping you wouldn’t survive. Why don’t you crawl back into whatever ship you were working on and take your negative energy with you.” He made sure to look down his nose at her. 

Jar smiled. “They took away only a piece of me. Well, at least they tried.” she took a cigarette and looked at the guy. “If you wanna kill me, take a number.” The lady leaned her back against the wall “I’m happy to see you too, kiddo!”  Jar lighten up the cigarette “Annoying and sassy... Yeah, that’s my kiddo.  Fortunately nothing has changed “ 

“Uh, games on my phone or Netflix.” A golden brow rose as she shifted in her seat a little. “Quiet days aren’t always bad.”

“What kind of games?” Jar looked a bit surprised “Netflix? Is it still exist?” She shrugged and sat down near the girl. She never played videogames or similar and she wasn’t the person who watch movies, so for the engineer was the first time. “I don’t like quiet days. I never know how to waste time.”
