' i’m putting it here by the door. ' from mei
the graduate / accepting !
“ wait — give me a minute ! “ amelie calls over the sound of the shower, which cuts after a moment. a few more seconds and the door cracks open, a flash of blue evident as amelie snakes her arm out to grab the towel she’d asked mei to retrieve for her.
“ thank you, mei ling, “ amelie’s voice echos around the bathroom and bounces into the hall. another pause and she emerges from the bathroom, steam following suit. she’s got the towel wrapped tight around her, heavy hair sticking to her skin.
something sparkles a little differently in her eyes as she observes the scientist, smiling. mei’s awfully pretty, isn’t she ? amelie doesn’t have much time to think on it because something goes whizzing by her head (snowball, she realizes soon).
“ i hope you don’t mind i took so long. i just had to decompress before we went out ! “ amelie had spent a valiant amount of time watching the blood of others swirl down the drain. when she said she was going to take revenge on talon, she’d meant it.
