Sigma just stood silent, breathing slowly, not moving an inch. What was all that about? The lieutenant gave her physical contact in return for her question. And she didn't shy from it. She was too tired to even make out anything out of it. The clone pilot only got a few words in of all the conversation, the vast majority of it was spent in a comforted hug. [i]This is kind of nice. I guess this is how a motherly hug feels? Never experienced it and [b]Oh my god she's stroking my hair[/b]![/i]Sigma briefly let out a comforted sigh upon Ritsu's prompt. Memories came back, the few sweet ones she had from her upbringing. The same face, the same body. They all cluttered together when it was time to rest and sleep, trying to find warmth in eachother. Beta, Sigma, Tau, Omega... the survivors of the first culling, which would then dwindle in numbers even more. But, even so, nice things were bound to end. Sigma's attention was once brought when the lieutenant confessed about her share of darkness. Sigma then gently left the embrace, her head tilting slightly towards the Lieutenant. [b]"There's never a simple answer. Isn't it? I must keep asking things, like every single human..."[/b] Sigma looked at the Lieutenant, a previously unseen expression creeping in [url=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/234/2/1/Ayanami_Rei_vector_by_Dudess999.png]Sigma's visage[/url]. [b]"I appreciate your offer, Liutenant. I have no doubts you would have been an excellent teacher. I wouldn't mind [i]having you[/i] as teacher."[/b] The young pilot said, before her eyes wandered into. Cheesecake. All in a sudden, sparks were lit in Sigma's eyes, and the previously tempered behaviour she had displayed was thrown out of the window, as she literally latched on her plate, and chewed on the dessert like a demented hamster on drugs. Closing her eyes with pure bliss, she kept chewing at the cake, cheeks almost at bursting capacity while she closed her eyes to enjoy the flavour. Sigma could even hear [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnQGs24U1e8] celestial music[/url] in her ears as she did so. When she finally opened her eyes, she beamed at the Lieutenant, her serious expression quickly setting in place as she cleared her throat, a shade of fluster in her cheeks. [b]"The cake was good."[/b] She said in a dignified disposition as she realized something. [b]"But, may I ask to borrow your kitchen? I have a debt to pay, Lieutenant."[/b]
