time / location : guardian tower, after the dimitri/jet meeting
status: closed to @jetxstreamx
It had been a fairly quiet day for them, full of mostly just sitting around and waiting for something to happen, and finding something else to do to keep themself from dying of boredom. Dory was out on assignment in Venice, which left them largely alone in a place where most never let them forget they were a villain first and a Guardian second. They’ve kept themself hidden away in the training facility as they wait for a call to head out in the field, but when that call never comes, and they’ve thoroughly exhausted themself on every piece of gym equipment they were familiar with, they head back up to the Tower’s upper floors, their sights set on grabbing something from the lounge before finding somewhere else to bide their time.
Once they open the doors to the lounge though- their thoughts set on throwing together a smoothie, their plans are quickly dashed by the sight of Jet rummaging through the varying baskets of free snack food on the counter. They nearly consider slipping out and coming back later, and avoiding the interaction at all costs. But maybe it’s the boredom- and more likely the loneliness of that day, that causes them to step further inside than leave the room entirely.
“All you’re going to find in those are Clint and Geo Girl’s protein bars and keto friendly trail mix packets,” they greet their old friend, and it’s the first thing they realize they’ve said to him since they left the manor several years ago. It was probably a bad idea even saying anything at all, let alone breaking the ice so casually, but it was too late to back down now.
“Cap keeps their stash of Flaming Hot Cheetos in a box marked party supplies in the cabinet above the fridge. At least that’s where they usually keep them unless Robert has gone through another one of his manic cleaning fits.”
