Jolted awake. Conscious before he'd sat up. Weapon in hand before his eyes focused. Wraith's head whipped toward her, and it took an instant for recognition to soften his gaze... an instant more for him to notice the new weight and warmth over him. Scarred hand gripped the blanket and rubbed the fabric between his fingers, confused. Why did she share it with him? He was used to the frigid nights. She had to have known that it was wasted on him.

Maybe... but, maybe she was just being kind.

A thing so rare in these wastelands... there was a reason it wasn't the first possibility to cross his sleep slowed mind. Maybe she was just being kind. Eyes dragged from the blanket and up Lucy's frame toward her features, as though searching for something. But, whatever it was, Wraith didn't seem to find it.

"that's the whole fuckin' point , lu - lu!" brown eyes sparkled with new , rare life. "ain't you the overachiever type?"

@vaultfcrged: ❛ that is… literally illegal. you’re describing something illegal. ❜ Anakin

Anakin laughed, loud and uncaring. He wasn’t sure if he had ever met anyone as naive as Lucy. Most of the time, it was incredibly frustrating, but sometimes it was just funny. “Yep. It sure is.” he replied with a smirk.

"they don't know what's best for 'em and they want what they know. safer to worry about yourself."

Hands formed into tight fists. As much as Landaullan said he wouldn't get angry, that didn't mean he couldn't get angry. That he couldn't allow himself to get frustrated that she wasn't going to heed his warnings. Maybe he shouldn't have cared - maybe, he should have just laughed at her, but was he going to? No. At least not now.

"And that is why you're going to die, and I will have to find someone else for this partnership." It was a clear cut and to the point response. "Not because you simply chose to ignore me, but because you think you're invincible, but you're not. That alone is going to be your downfall."

”my dear, this isn’t a vault.” Robert says sharply. “This is outside an’ in the good ol’ wide wasteland. You won’t find anyone who cares less you go to the strip -if you can afford it.”

“An’ even then? Doubt it. See, I would think that someone like you would enjoy being locked away in one of those things. Just avoid some of them - experiments at vault tech were not kind.” Not to anyone and Robert knew that first hand and through experience.

"So, how 'bout you go back to your vault an' do a nice little presentation 'bout how the outside world is just raiders, tribes an' the damned NCR that can't handle a little 'ol man with a gunshot wound to the head who happens to not have a brain."
