#warframe writing

⬤ Sirius is the more playful of the brothers; he’s the type to put bunny ears behind Orion and wonders why he gets pissed.

⬤ I see Sirius as a huge tease; he leaves a trail of respectful, fleeting touches just to get a reaction sometimes. (Think harmless side swipes, arm touches, the brushing of hands)

✦ Orion is the clingier of the two, even if he doesn’t show it all the time. Sirius def gets kicked harder when Orion hasn’t had his elected Drifter time and hovers over Drifter like a cloud when they’re out and about on the relay. They both do, but Orion has to be that inch closer.

✦ I picture Orion as being more demanding with his touches, pulling at the edge of your sleeve, grabbing your hand, and maneuvering you as he sees fit.

⁠ʚɞ I like to imagine if the brothers ever danced with the Drifter, they’d purposefully make them dizzy, and the Drifter, all the while, is trying not to lean onto one so as not to make the other jealous.

⁠ʚɞ Sirius and Orion find the appeasement amusing.

⁠ʚɞ They both have jealousy issues. Bad jealousy issues.

⁠ʚɞ You're telling me they kick each other around just so one can be in transferrence for no reason? Bah humbug.

⁠ʚɞ Their fights may or may not have been over the Drifter in the past, and the Drifter knows nothing of it.

You arrived once again on Fortuna, performing an impressive backflip only to land on your feet, half crouched - you intended to go out again and hunt precious prey and predators on Venus, this was your favorite part of your duties here actually and The Business who was conducting this preservatory effort has gotten to know your face- or mask, he never truly saw you outside your warframe, you two never exchanged words yet there was a small aura of understanding between you two when you came to visit.

However, you have more to do. The Chill caresses you as your feet step onto the snow. With multiple missions on your mind, a friendly voice — Eudico — calls out to you. It's going to be a long day.

Tired, you reload your tranq rifle, and somehow after brutally dismantling corpus money-making efforts, you find yourself peacefully tracking down precious animals on the snowy fields, without any lure leading you to them. Comfortable in your tranquilizing nest, the snow on your back perfectly camouflaging you, you continue to wait until… a red-crested virmink appears, making you immediately sit up, the snow falling away. The tranquilizer shot hits the poor animal's left eye due to your excitement.

You panic, expecting a disappointed call from The Biz, before cluing in that Solaris United might be going to sleep, turning off the lights soon. This animal was going to lose its vision or worse — die if you didn't bring it to the one taking care of the animals. At the same time, he's still open for business, so you slide down the hill you were sitting on, bringing your rifle along and swiftly putting it on your back, hurrying to the Virmink. Once it's in your arms the warframe bolts it to the old elevator, placing a hand on the metal doors before banging a bit to hurry. Up. The doggy in your hands softly whimpers, that's all it can do in its sorry state induced by a tranquilizer to the eye it took from you earlier.

After some time, you made it inside, Eudico was now gone from the entrance and most lights were turned off, some passed-out workers being lifted and carried home by their friends. You rush to The business, who seeing you and the Virmink in your hands is largely confused. For so long, you were a cold presence, carrying out tasks for some unknown purpose, but here he sees you, tail between your legs, holding a puppy with a dart in its eye. " Oh dear, let me take that beauty off your arms. " You handed it to the half-machine man, your arms trembling a bit as your strong emotions resonated with your warframe, it was the first sign of emotion he's seen from you. Quickly, The business led you to the backroom where there laid a medical table and some tools he used to treat the animals you caught on Solaris, some little animals were sleeping in the corners tucked in little blankets and beds, snoring, all of them recovering from anesthesia, thankfully your arrival here didn't disturb these sleeping beauties. It was a quaint little place, not as professional as you thought The Business to be. The man you trusted put the virmink on the table and sorted through his disorganized tools while doing so he looked up at you from his mess of a medical set and asked in a rather stern voice. " Outworlder, what happened to its eye? " It was pretty obvious but you tried to explain yourself before it hit you … you can't speak through a warframe, all that came out was a tearful sob from the steel warrior you possessed, but it was all The business needed to understand that you didn't exactly do it on purpose before he could acknowledge that the virmink twitched in pain. " I've got you, fuzzy friend, rest easy. " gathering his bearings and swiftly urging the dart out of its eye, before steering a machine hanging from the ceiling to laser its tear shut. While he does that you wonder how to explain yourself. Did you have to? " I'm waiting for an explanation. " Eek! Biz's stern voice jolted you awake, making you panic and eject yourself from your warframe — pale as a sheet! The Business almost messed up his procedure, seeing a kid appear from the formidable warframe that worked for him day in and day out, you looked so small, so weak. You rose to your feet and started explaining yourself.

" I- didn't mean to " He looks at you puzzled. What he thought of as a mighty warrior is now a kid getting up on their two feet. Your warframe stands still as if frozen in time while you try to explain what happened, overusing various phrases such as "it was an accident" or the one you started with. The business sighs, ending your rambling, and grips the machinery around his torso. " Don't worry Outworlder, I understand, at least I think so. " He walks up to you, clearly taller and you feel as if he's examining you slightly, like he does with every other animal. But to your surprise, there was just something on your face, which were half-formed tears, you wipe them and after you do The business spreads out his arms. A gesture you've almost forgotten, but remembered instantly — he was silently asking to comfort you. To that you agreed, hugging Biz tightly, you heard him gasp a little, he was surprisingly warm and despite all of the square and sharply angled machinery resting on his body, it wasn't that bad of a hug. You wanted more of them in fact, but you figured this was a special occasion due to the backroom and being the majorly distressed thing you figured it probably reminded you of past experiences and that's why you almost broke down here, out of the fear of disappointing someone you looked up to — someone fatherly like him. You'll unpack that later, for now, you pull away from his comforting embrace and quietly thank him, to which the friend in front of you nods. " Now that it's sufficiently dealt with, how about you and me wrap this place up? " You agree to help, soon looking at the virmink you helped rescue, of course, he immediately caught your gaze and with a chuckle suggested " While you're here, pet her. " Approaching the now sleeping beast you gently stroke its body, while you cannot fully feel the texture of its coat due to your suit, she's warm and you can guess she's also fluffy. Meanwhile, The Business sorts his tools at long last, glancing at you every so often, he had no idea how much responsibility a tenno like you could have, or how you felt because of it all. You were so meek yet powerful, like… a sawgaw, a little sore gore. After what feels like a few minutes you stopped and started helping clean the place up, no more blood, no more messy tools, and a carefully placed sleeping virmink. After this, you and him walked out of the backroom, you now in your warframe as the rest of Solaris United couldn't see you so frail, not yet at least. The business stops you for a minute and says " Get some rest. " Before leaving you to your own devices, to walk back to where your orbiter could pick you up and as it does Ordis complains about how long you were out today and voices his concerns for your true self, as he has noticed you almost cried. You'd tell him all about it once you get some much needed rest.
