⟐ Luck may have had his side in this moment when he recognized the familiar archer of the crew. Although her appearance left him momentarily stunned silent in shock when he saw her dressed just as tacky as Siete had been, drinking from a hollowed out watermelon shell enjoying the festivities as well. His teeth were grit as he stared at her, very slowly reaching his sanity limits. 

“ Y--You’ve got to be kidding me..! You too, Song..?! “

Midna had very limited ability to hide in the shadows right now, but she was making the best use of it whenever she could. In this case, that meant hiding in the shadow of the astronaut food vending machine in the zero-g arena and popping out whenever someone approached to try and order something.

Materializing in front of the vending machine from the shadow beneath it right as Song went to press a button, Midna spoke with so much confidence it should leave no doubt that she was telling a blatant lie.

“You’ve got pretty good aim, huh.” Dante calls out, beckoning the young woman in the training field. He was training when he managed to see what she was doing --- archery, it seems. “Didn’t miss a single shot.” The target’s punctures seem deliberate, articulate and careful, he’s actually quite impressed at her precision.

Does something like that even need to be said? Of course Threo would watch Song’s back, they’re friends! And more than that, they’re both Eternals, and the Eternals look after their own.

It takes Threo a few moments to swallow her mouthful of pasta (Song insisted she try it) and think of a suitable answer. “Yeah, always! Just like you have mine, right? We make a pretty good team, don’t we? You in the air, and me on the ground!”

They worked pretty well together, now that Threo thought about it. With Song’s rapid-fire archery, Threo could focus her strength on big foes without worrying about the little ones getting in her way. It almost made her wish there was another monster invasion in Spirale.

It doesn’t take Threo long to wolf down the rest of her food, and already she’s itching to find something else to do. Spending time with Song is fun, but just so... quiet.

“Well, I had some plans for today,” says Threo, rising from her seat. “So I think I’m gonna-”

“Uh, how about dessert?” chirps Song. “I know we’re only having lunch, but that doesn’t mean we can’t treat ourselves, right?”

Immediately, Threo moves back into her seat, pawing at the menu. “Ooh, I was kinda thinking of that, but I wasn’t sure! But if you want it too, then it’s okay. Look, they have a cake with strawberries in it, a chocolate cake, a cake with cheese, that sounds weird!”

“Why don’t we both get some, and we can share? That way we can both try two cakes.”

“That’s a really good idea! Thank goodness you’re here, Song, ‘cuz I never would’ve thought of that.”

With their new orders placed, the pair waits for their dessert, and Threo finds herself kicking her legs and letting her mind wander. Waiting is one of the things she’s worst at, but if there’s cake at the end of it, then it’s not so bad-

“So, how are you adjusting to the city?” says Song. “It’s... very different from back home, isn’t it?”

“Oh yeah,” answers Threo, nodding. “But I don’t really worry about little things like that. It doesn’t affect how I live, so it doesn’t really matter. Though I guess it’s a lot harder to find job postings now...”

“I know what you mean,” sighs Song. “On one hand, it’s kind of nice to not be under that pressure, but on the other, it’s so...”

“Boring?”

“Something like that.”

Song must have it worse than she did, thinks Threo. Without her magic, she doesn’t have access to her archery, she can’t fly, and she probably can’t even see as well as she used to. Maybe that’s why she’s been badgering Threo about spending time together even moreso than she used to.

Song’s always been a people person as long as Threo’s known her. Threo, not so much. It’s not like she doesn’t mind spending time with her friends, but she just prefers her solitude. Maybe this time, for the sake of friendship, she’ll have to take one for the team.

“Err, Song? Are you... doing anything after this?” she manages.

The woman’s eyes light up as she stares at Threo. “Oh, um, I didn’t have anything planned, no. Why do you ask?” Despite her innocent tone, she leans forward in her seat.

Threo can’t stand the eye contact, and looks away as she continues. “I was just wondering if you wanted to... I dunno, do something. It’s alright if you don’t-”

Suddenly Song is in the chair next to Threo, as opposed to the seat across from her. “Do you have any clothes for summer, Threo? I was planning on doing some clothes shopping later, but if you need something now, we can do that.”

“O-outfits? I only have this one, I don’t really need any others...” she says, tugging at her Eternals uniform. “I was thinking something more like-”

“Why don’t we do some window shopping after lunch, then? Who knows, maybe you’ll find something you like.”

Even Threo can’t resist Song’s excited expression, and so she sighs. “A-alright, we can do that after we eat... But I’m telling you, I don’t really care about clothes. It’s dumb that you even have to wear them most of the time.”

Before Threo can grumble any more, the server reappears, carrying a tray topped with two slices of cake. In an instant, all of Threo’s frowning is washed away, replaced by wide eyes and smiles. “Ooh, look at that!” she says, already grabbing her utensils as the plate is set down before her. “It looks super yummy! That’s the best thing about this city, all the good food!”

“Well, just remember that we’re going to share- Threo, leave some for both of us!”
