~~Tobias Winters~~ "My esteemed regards to the Heroes of the Sky and the brave souls on the ground. May you be forever safe, my love." Tobias looked at her incredously. "You're joking, right? There's no repairing a Zoid Core. That is the Heart and Soul of a Zoid. If it takes damage, it's like me damaging parts of your spinal cord. If it takes a direct hit..." Tobias trailed off. He could still see the Shield Liger on the plains, turned entirely to stone, a massive hole in it's side punching all the way through the body. The Core had been hit. The Zoid was dead. "The damaging a Zoid Core is the only way to truly kill a Zoid..." His voice had gotten low.

ππ±π₯π°π₯π’ππβ± "Some spinal injuries can be saved." Bathsheba nervously laughed, scratching her head. "It was just a thought.. Sorry." She sighed heavily, looking away embarrassingly from him as she started to chew herself out within her head.
"Well, I'm calling it a day." Michael grumbled, walking off. "I haven't gotten to eat breakfast yet."
"Did you eat before we got here though..?" Isaac asked, looking at him with a frown.
"Lightly. I ate lightly."
"You had a egg sandwich with sausage AND bacon."
"Like I said. Lightly."
With another heavy sigh, Bathsheba waved off her Crew. They were done for now. She rarely got called out again after doing a round. The chances of that pattern changing were slimmer than nothing.
Trying to find something to break the awkwardness, Bathsheba looked around, trying to find something to talk about.
"So... How about that cable TV?" She asked slowly.
((Well... I feel stupid now. sweatdrop ))

~~Peter Ryan~~ "La sΓ©paration est tant de douleur douce. Mais elle la vaut pour la rΓ©union." Tobias slowly turned his head, looking at her like she had something weird in between her teeth. Then he fell off the bench laughing. The rest of Angel Team looked over, shaking their heads. Tobias normally didn;t act this way. After he recovered, he sat back on the bench, straightening out his flight suit. "Anyway....That Cable TV eh? Tis a beaut. Thinking about getting it installed in Aisling so I can watch something while I fly boring guard missions." Jarid is related to her? I guess God really does have a sense of humor.

ππ±π₯π°π₯π’ππβ± Bathsheba hadn't expected Tobias to laugh, so when he fell off the bench from doing it so much, she flinched. She looked over at him, confused and surprised that he was laughing so hard. Maybe he just remembered something funny.. She reassured herself, as she started to look around the hanger, seeing others looking right at her. No... I'm just an idiot... She groaned internally while she physically scratched her head, unsure of what to do and once again embarrassed.
Once Tobias regained control of himself and actually started talking, Bathsheba scoffed at his idea. "I don't think that's a good idea. You need to be focused on the task at hand, some dumb cartoon or lame soap opera, or whatever the heck you watch." She argued, rolling her eyes at the idea.
"Besides, I don't think there's any room to fit a TV or a receiver."

~~Tobias Winters~~ "My esteemed regards to the Heroes of the Sky and the brave souls on the ground. May you be forever safe, my love." "Oh pssh. You've obviously never been inside a Zoid when it's in battle. As you know, regardless of the opacity of the canopy, 3D radar lets us view the outside. It also acts as a HUD. I'd just reconfigure the canopy to play whatever it is I watch. And besides, Aisling can fly by herself almost. And she could most definitely take out Zabat Drones." Tobias pantomimed poking her between the eyes. "Roll those eyes too much and they're bound to fall out and roll across the floor."

ππ±π₯π°π₯π’ππβ± "I'm a mechanic, not a pilot. So no. I haven't been inside one for combat purposes. If Aisling practically flies herself, then I guess you're out of the job." Bathsheba giggled with a grin, before she was poked, which she promptly retaliated with swatting Tobias' hands.
"I roll my eyes whenever I want!" She snapped playfully, looking right at him and deliberately rolling her eyes at him. "And they WON'T pop out. I'm twenty, not two. Can't tell me that stuff anymore."

~~Tobias Winters~~ "My esteemed regards to the Heroes of the Sky and the brave souls on the ground. May you be forever safe, my love." "Nah. I'm needed for the human pilots. The Drones are easy. Too predictable."
Tobias grabbed her hands with ease, then swatted them in turn.
"I believe I DID just tell you that. I thought mechanics were supposed to be smart?"
Tobias flashed her a grin. She was quite fun to talk to. And especially tease.

ππ±π₯π°π₯π’ππβ± "I am smart!" Bathsheba snapped back, wiggling her hands out of his grasp just to swat them again. She looked at him, her eyes narrow, but not in a glaring sense.
"I'm just saying, if she's do good, you might want to find a more useful job. Like..." She deliberately paused for a while, as if thinking. "Well.. You're probably not good anything, so you'd just be a hobo on the streets." She teased, grinning back at him.

~~Tobias Winters~~ "My esteemed regards to the Heroes of the Sky and the brave souls on the ground. May you be forever safe, my love." "Nah. Russia would hire me to test new Flying Zoids. After all, the lovely Miss Tanya would love for me to spend more time with her."
He shrugged and acted nochalent, just like a sterotypical fighter pilot.
"Besides, the Storm Sworder is a brand new Zoid. There are only 12 of them in existance."

ππ±π₯π°π₯π’ππβ± "Nah. I'm thinking hobo." Bathsheba grinned. "You'd make a good hobo. You'd have to get dirtier. A lot dirtier though."
Bathsheba's grin went away and her eyebrow went up.
"Miss Tanya?" She cooed, a bit defensively. "Who's that?"

~~Tobias Winters~~ "My esteemed regards to the Heroes of the Sky and the brave souls on the ground. May you be forever safe, my love." Tobias hid the chuckle.
Check...
"Oh, just a Russian friend of mine. She lives in Saint Petersburg. She misses me a lot. Constantly writes me, asking me to visit. She's five foot even, weighs maybe 100 pounds, long, honey blonde hair, and is a member of the Russian Ballet."
...and mate.
"Not that that'd mean anything to you, I'm sure."
The corners of his mouth twitched, trying to stretch into a grin. ((I've actually done this. The girl i was talking to then decided to prove to me she was better than a friend of mine. And the girl really WAS just a friend. XD))

ππ±π₯π°π₯π’ππβ± "So she's a friend, huh?" Bathsheba asked, keeping her eyebrow up as she tilted her head. "How long have you two known each other?" She was curious now, and slightly jealous, although she wasn't going to admit that and was doing her best to hide it.
"I wish I could go to Russia." She admitted with a heavy sigh. "Jarid won't take me, and I don't know anyone else to go with."

~~Tobias Winters~~ "My esteemed regards to the Heroes of the Sky and the brave souls on the ground. May you be forever safe, my love." "Oh...seven years?"
Tobias stretched out, his vertebrae popping audibly.
"He was good looking then. She's an angel sent from heaven now. If she quit the Ballet, the Choir would grab her in an instant. Voice of an angel."
Tobias gestured to a schedule on the wall.
"Take the Bustav. It runs between here and Saint Petersburg every two weeks. Takes a week to get there, a week back. Take a three week vacation. The Passenger Trailers are rather comfy. And if someone so musch as scratches the paint on the Bustav, Russia goes to war. No one wants to see that. Especially since everyone would back them up."

ππ±π₯π°π₯π’ππβ± Bathsheba nodded her head, slightly admiring the long time they had been friend. She couldn't even deny she was a bit envious. To have a friend for that long, one that wasn't her brother, would be nice. But with the constant moving her family went through, plus the botched evacuation that killed her family, long-term friends were not possible.
She looked over at the Bustav schedule, and shook her head. "Nah. Too long of time." She sighed, leaning back. "I'd be alone for about three weeks, which isn't very fun. Not to mention I think Jarid would have a cow if I left anywhere without him. He won't say it, but I KNOW he'd worry the whole time I was gone. He went mad on a battlefield once when a Gustav was being shot at. It wasn't even the one my team are I go with, but he still snapped."
She sighed again, looking out the hanger.
"Kind of sucks being a baby sister sometimes..."
((Aright. I'm calling quits for now since typing via iPad is annoying. See ya later.))

After awhile, Alpha Team returned to the Hangar, four of the five, all but Jarid, merely watched their Zoids be put into the repair bay.
Jarid merely looked around, trying to find his sister, but said nothing.
Soon after, he noticed Tobias, of ALL people, talking to her.
His eye twitched once before he made his way over.
