A New Year

[sentryslinger]

Well now, Miss Mundane, I think now's as good a time as any to start workin' on those resolutions of yours. December will be upon us again before you know it, and you'll be no better off than you are now. Let's see if I can help.

[A pause as he skims the list.]

I can see one issue already. First thing you've got listed is that you're gonna work harder, and as flattered as I am that you'd take the time out of your busy schedule to let me post here, I'm thinkin' that might be a part of the problem right there.

I can only hope for the best for him if that is true. If Engineer can be happy back home, then I will be happy too for him. So, no. I suppose it isn't so bad.

[sentryslinger]

Good. I don't want to see you sad over a little old thing like him goin' where he ought to be anyway. Besides, that's one less person you've got to take care of.

[notintehkitchen]

But I like taking care of him.

You could always fill in his place.

[In her heart.

Oh, Pyro. She has a little crush and she knows those are forbidden especially if it's with the enemy.]

[sentryslinger]

I'd have to be on RED for that, I'm afraid. We might be fightin' together one of these days on account of those robots, but we technically can't even be seen socializin' at the moment. That's just how it's got to be.

[He is either painfully oblivious or pretending not to notice. It wouldn't be polite to point something like that out, after all.]

[notintehkitchen]

[Lowering her head, she nods slightly.]

I... understand.

[But she doesn't look happy about it. Who will fill the place of her precious Engie? Who will make her bacon? Who will pat her on the head and tell her what a good boy she is? It's not fair at all.]

[sentryslinger]

Good girl.

Now you keep an eye on your teammates while you're still there. I'm sure your Engineer is proud of you no matter where he is so long as you do your best.

[notintehkitchen]

Pyro is a good girl?

I will, I promise. I want Engineer to be proud of me no matter where I am.

[sentryslinger]

I'm sure I will be. I ain't too hard to please.
