“Huh… Wouldja hear that. Might be ya really did run into a spirit, girl. Might be she wants to eatcha!” Milka claws her hand into Sky’s side for SPOOOOKY EMPHASIS. Milka be serious, this girl is in love. Her smile to Sky is warm, though, gosh. Lookit her… So smitten.

“Course I won’t tell anyone! Well, might be I tell Issy, y’know I can’t hide nothin’ from her, heh, but you know she won’t tell, neither,” she says as she scratches at her chin with her free hand. She makes a thoughtful hum.   “Freeside? Hrm. I sometimes go on that way, but dunno if I gotta any time soon… Doesn’t that lil bean Tess make runs there all the time?”

redrockgrayskies:

Sky can’t help but laugh at Milka’s teasing; it’s all in good fun, and she appreciates the efforts to lighten her mood. Grinning, she pushes back at Milka a bit.

“Yeah, she does. I’ll find out a way to tag along with her, then. Need to catch up with her anyway. She’s always been a fan of my stories,” Sky muses, chuckling. “Thank you, Milka. I’m going to rest now so I can go back out for game in the early morning, since I didn’t manage to catch much of anything except… feelings.”

She gives Milka a kiss on her cheek in thanks, pats her on the shoulder, and pushes up to head into camp and to her tent. She’s going to lay up half the night thinking of Reese, anyway.

--

Milka gives a good-natured chuckle, grinning from ear to ear. “Aight, you do that, Sky,” she says, giving Sky’s back a couple of strong pats in return. “Let me know if there’s anythin’ ya need, ya hear?”

With Sky gone, Milka gives a big ole sigh. Back to guard duty it is.

Milka rubs Sky’s arm, a small gesture of comfort. “She sounds like a real peach, Sky. Maybe I can sneak off with you to see her, eh? Though, she might get scared at how BIG and STRONG I am,” she says with another laugh, which peters down to a snickering wheeze.

She sobers up as Sky keeps talking, looking down at her face. Milka isn’t quite sure why somebody wouldn’t want to have sex but, y’know, whatever floats her boat - and that train of thought is cut short at the mention of coyotes. “Coyotes? She’s got coyotes?”

redrockgrayskies:

“Yeah, coyotes. I mean, they’re wild, too, and scary, but they like her. Treat her like one of their own. It reminded me of a story my Ma used to tell, about a mother-goddess of mą'ii, when I first met her. I thought she might’ve been a spirit, that’s how beautiful she is, Milka,” Sky murmurs. Her eyes turn up to look at the other woman. “And we’re so comfortable together. I could tell her anything.”

She turns away again but leans against Milka, lips pursed and fingers drumming on her folded arms rhythmically.

“Promise you won’t tell anyone? I’m scared to lose the tribe… I might find a way to take a trip to Freeside so i can spend some time with her, though, so if you know anyone who’s going out there for a run soon and wouldn’t mind me tagging along…?”

Milka’s bummed out the chat turns from cute girls to awful, boring old folks, but she’s not gonna hassle Sky over her train of thought. Her grin putters out to a more serious frown, a combination of her soured mood and genuine concern. She rubs at her chin, before scooting over and wrapping a massive arm around Sky’s shoulders.

“I can’t speak for what goes through those geezer’s heads, but there’s nasty truths out there many folks don’t know about.” Especially Papa fucking Khan. “Though, you ain’t gonna get nowhere if they hold you back like this, neither.” She takes a moment to think. She has seen the adults throwing strange glances at Sky every now and again. It’d probably be wiser not to encourage her, but Milka’s never fashioned herself a wise woman. “Might be you’re on to somethin’.”

redrockgrayskies:

She leans into Milka, releasing a shaky sigh and pursing her lips together. “… But… She’s… she’s amazing, Milka, I want you to meet her. I want everyone to meet her, just so they know how great she is, and then maybe the Elders would let me…”

Let her what? Change her mind about her own decision to stay with the tribe? It’s foolish, the way being with Reese has scrambled her thoughts. Her mother taught her Outsiders were nothing but bad news, raised her on horror stories about them, taught her that the only good that came from them was their caps for chems. And now, here she is, doubting herself and her Elders.

“She’s just so different. And I think she’s like me, where she won’t want to have sex, and that means so much to me. We were just talking, and we kissed a bit, and she has these coyotes…”

Her thoughts trail off, and she opens her eyes again to stare at the fire.

Milka gives a look around, just to be sure nobody’s gonna get the jump on them - Khan or Outsider - and follows eagerly. New happenings are rare when you live with the same folks day in and day out.

She sits herself down as Sky speaks, listening and watching her. She sucks her lips in, heart bursting with warmth at those words, at the sight of this lil fool so clearly in LOVE. “Gosh, Sky, you’re gettin’ me all moved and shit. Look atcha, with your first girlfriend, eh?” she says with a chuckle, reaching over to gently bap Sky’s chin with a knuckle. “I’m glad for ya, kid, no matter what those old farts say.”

redrockgrayskies:

“Heyyyy,” Sky whines, but it’s playful and happy, her chin turning with the nudge. The smile falls, though, the more she thinks about the Elders. She sits back and watches the fire burn, rubbing her pinkie back and forth over lips that still tingle.

“… Why do they care so much? I mean, the Runners have to interact with Outsiders all the time. I’d never share anything that’d make the Clan be in danger, Milka, so why can’t I just…?”

Her eyes close, and she hunches her shoulders up, arms crossing over her chest. “It’s like they’re scared I’ll be the one finding something they don’t want me to know. I know Ma told them to keep me safe, but from what? The Wastes are dangerous. They can’t protect me from everything. From everyone.”

Milka lowers her laughing into a quieter snicker, lest the entire camp hear them, and ducks down to look Sky right in the face.

“Oh? And whooo’s this story about?” she asks with that grin of hers. “C’mon, I been standin’ here all night, and you look ready to burst with it. It’ll be a win/win!”

redrockgrayskies:

Sky flushes deeper, laughing as well but trying to keep it low. Her hand goes to press over her mouth. Shhhh, she thinks, but her grin peeks out around her fingers.

She waves for Milka to follow her along to a nearby fire pit, and she lights it as she speaks, eyes lowered at the flames and dreamy.

“Her name’s…. Reese. I dunno if you heard the Elders, before… How I got caught talkin’ to an Outsider, and all. But, Milka, she’s so…” Sky sighs, holding her face with one hand while the other pokes the fire with a stick. “She’s so beautiful, and she likes my stories, and she listens to me, and we kissed, and I’ve never wanted to kiss anyone before.”

Sky jumps when she’s called on, snapped out of her stupor. Her wide eyes shoot up and she stares at Milka, frozen in her tracks and gaping.

It takes a moment, but she clears her throat, and shrugs. “I was just… thinking of a funny story. That’s all.”

She moves to continue on, bowing her head and fidgeting at herself. The smile worms its way back onto her face, however, she can’t help it, and she gives Milka a look.

[stronkhan]

Milka’s never bragged about having any refined observational skills, but even a plank of wood can realize something’s up when a certain hunter returns with no hunt, late, and with a big ole smile on her face.

Milka has a vague idea of what might be up, and bursts into a cackle as she steps away from her post. “Whatcha gettin’ up to tonight, lil Sky?

Sky’s thoughts are stuck on loop. Reese, her hair, her mouth, the way her laugh sounds and her smile…

It’s no good to wander home through the Wastes so preoccupied, but she can’t help it. She’s a fool about the girl, and the grin on her face simply won’t go away. She keeps touching at her lips and remembering the taste of Reese’s. Her face feels flushed and her head feels light and dizzy.

Mother, if you could see me now, she thinks, grinning. You said I’d have a hard time finding someone who fit with me. Maybe I did, but, look now, Ma. All the way from heaven, look at her, and you’ll know why I’m feeling this way, right?

Of COURSE. >:]

Hey Isaak. ISAAK. HEY. LOOK WHO I FOUND. [JOSTLES GIO.] IT'S RUCKS'S BUTT-BUDDY.

This is the little outsider that’s raided our dear Ruckus’ heart?

*Isaak saunters over, studying the man under Milka’s big beefy arm with scrutiny. She hits her pipe, still starring hard, until finally breaking out a smile as smoke spews out her nostrils*

Heh. Ruckus has good taste in buddies. 

Welcome to the Khans, darling. You may call me Isaak. Be careful, some of us play even rougher than Milka. 

[greatkhansofwar-blog]

Oh don’t say that, Gio, I like to win competitions. And I don’t think I could bare hearing Ruckus cry over his loss!

*Not that it’d be the first time he’s won a “competition.” But this is said in humor, regardless of the smaller man’s charm. Isaak takes the offered hand and gives it a firm, hearty shake*

And you know I’m only kidding *He turns to Milka, swatting at an impressive arm* You could shatter Hoover Dam with one of these. 

But yes, I think he needs a proper Khan welcome *Her grin becomes a little more sinister* I bet he could take Tess on. 

[giovannimartelli]

[Gio looks up and down Milka’s beefy arms.] Ha! I’m not even joking when I say it looks like you could snap me like a twig. I’m more than willing to forfeit the beating before it even gets started.

[He laughs and turns his head to respond to Isaak. He presses a hand to his forehead, feigning melodramatic disappointment.] Alas, it seems I’ll have to simply admire you from afar! I’m sure Romeo will be happy to hear it.

…ha, well, I haven’t met Tess yet, but I’m not so sure I’m built quite as tough as anyone who might welcome me here. [He flexes a bit, showing his much-less impressive muscles.] Too much time spent telling people to move things around in my caravan and not enough hauling them myself, I guess. Promise not to laugh too hard at me when I lose?

[stronkhan]

[Milka gives an earthy laugh, of COURSE she knows u were kidding Isaak, but she loves her overreactions. You can’t blame her. If anything, now she has an excuse to FLEX THAT BEEFY ARM. Despite the fat you can see some fuckin muscle definition in that flex, broe. It makes Gio look like more of a noodle than he already is.]

Dontcha worry, lil buddy, we’ll tell her to go easy on ya. ‘Course, if she does or doesn’t go easy that’s on her, haw!

[giovannimartelli]

Ha! well, I don’t know about the “heart” part… [Gio laughs and shakes his head with a grin.]

My! Such flattery! If you keep that up, poor Ruckus might have competition. [He laughs into his hand.] It’s nice to meet you. The name’s Giovanni, but I usually just go by Gio.

[He offers Isaak a hand.] I’ll keep that bit about playing rough in mind.

[stronkhan]

[Milka snorts derisively at Isaak’s remark, as if INSULTED. Can’t believe Isaak would ruin her cred in front of an outsider, tch.]

Can you believe this lil twerp has been comin’ and goin’ without meeting anyone? We gotta fix that. Show him around all proper-like. Maybe give him a good welcome beat-down, eh? [She cackles.]
