The response that he receives brings a prickle of disappointment, but he’s not surprised. That dark tinge of her face almost had him fooled, but – she hasn’t outright told him to go away, yet, and so Ricochet doesn’t give up fully.

“ Maybe you’ll change your mind, over a drink… ? ” He suggests, “ I mean, you don’t look like you were that busy. ” Standing around, brooding, maybe? She looks like she could be a Brooder. “ And I promise I’m a lot cuter in dim lighting. ”

    her expression deadpans. she had considered saying just that -- i’m busy -- before he deflects it back on her, and a deeper sneer is threatening her expression. if anyone who’d ever been on her fireteam knew of this, they’d likely laugh at him.

       ❛ god. and i can promise you there’s nothing worth knowing here. ❜   from her, that could be considered a nice response.   ❛ i already have a date with the hive in the next two hours. maybe if you care so much you can come with. ❜   now that would be worth watching.

‘ricochet.’

He half expects her to just walk away, or to say something that ruins the joke – but she doesn’t, and a jolt goes through him that almost makes him forget what he was going to say next. But, he manages to collect his thoughts, the tiniest hint of a smile finding it’s way to his mechanical face.

“ Your standards. ” He replies, leaning back against the wall beside them, nodding her way before he finishes with. “ Hey, I’m Ricochet. ”

    Savri blinks. First once, then twice as the comment registers properly. Was that a pick-up line? That someone just used? On her?

For a long moment, she’s too surprised and confused at the concept of it to be annoyed, and it shows.

     ❛ I-- ❜ The Awoken actually fumbles, blinking again before the a darker tinge crawls up on her cheeks. Not that there’s an inkling of her being legitimately flattered, ...but she can’t help but feel embarrassed about being put on the spot so quickly. Abruptly, she scowls. ❛ I could agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong. ❜

exo stranger.

Ricochet slid himself up to the woman, tall and stone-faced against his form. Even though he knew this probably wouldn’t go well for him, he still swallowed his own better judgement and spoke to her. He had a thing for women who looked like they could kill him, and on top of it – awoken? Come on.

“ Hey. ” He began, unsure if she’d even go along with it – “ I think you dropped something. ”

  The Hunter's stance against the wall is casual if not somewhat stiff-limbed, halfway leaned up against one of the pillars on a second story of the Tower. The balcony overlooks many of the shops, arrays of weaponry and armor brandished by merchants peddling to eager gear-hungry Guardians.

Savri wasn't especially sure what she was looking for and if she even had a train of thought before the other Hunter sidled up to her, though the look on her face says some minor sense of irritation regardless.

She glances down at the ground -- nothing -- and then back up at the Exo's face, deadpanning.

       ❛ What. ❜

diah.

Diah has a small look of surprise when the paper is snatched greedily from her hand, but then she just rolls her eyes and huffs in the few seconds of silence that hung over them after. There was very little information besides what the titan had already gave, so she wasn’t sure why the hell she insisted on looking herself. You know, besides to be snooty.

And then Savri finally speaks, and of course, her tone isn’t a happy one. “ Hey–  ” Diah has to resist saying princess again, “ Enjoy the easy things while we still have ‘em. It’s something to do. ”

But she nods right after she speaks. Time for less talking and more business, and Diah begins to make her way forward, expecting Savri to fall in line with her. “ If it makes you feel better, hive aren’t my favorite, either. We’ll make it quick. ” 

  With a resigned huff, Savri falls into silence, trailing behind the Titan as she begins their outward trek into the wilds of the Cosmodrome. There isn’t a single enemy she would prefer to fight over the others, each of them having their own threats, but the Hive are far from the least grotesque. Regardless of her now sour attitude, she pushes away her own complaints, letting her mind go blank in order to focus on the mission.

Of course, their journey there is mostly uneventful. Even the Fallen don’t seem especially keen on coming out today, the weather so biting and cold she can feel it through all her armor, the snow sticking to the fur around her collar. Savri lifts a hand, blocking some of the beginning blizzard in a feeble attempt to get a clearer line of vision ahead. Her radar outlines a red path from the mission input. Straight ahead, Vovka tells her.

     ❛ We should be close, ❜ she comments, voice risen above the wind, ❛ it’s a tunnel system built underneath abandoned wind turbines. ❜

Savri’s home is actually in her own ship, rather than the Tower, or anywhere in the Last City. It’s quite small and cramped, but she much prefers the enclosed and utterly private space.

She actually has a name for her ship, and calls it the SSR Shade ; a fitting name due to its purpose as a sleek, stealth-orientated ship. The coloring of it is an iridescent black, and it blends into the backdrop of open space so well, it is almost rendered invisible... Though she does have her own stealth drive.

Savri is delicate. Almost unhealthily so.

Her body was quite well-preserved in the snow of Old Russia, and upon being revived by her Ghost, Vovka, her body adapted a new “set” weight ( what she had weighed just before her original death ), one that just so happens to be under what most would consider average. Her body fat percentage is very low--- about 14%.

In truth, it’s normal for her, and despite looking quite underweight and unhealthy, it doesn’t mean she actually is. Though Guardians are very strong, this does make Savri quite a bit more breakable than your average Hunter.
