"[color=f26522]You wanna ride down together, or do you need a bit more time?[/color]"

"[color=ffe63d]Together![/color]" 

Quinn's voice came out just a little more vehement than she'd intended it to, and she took a moment to breathe deeply, heart pounding in her ears in the silence. She could [i]feel[/i] the great bulk of [i]Ablaze[/i] looming behind her, feel its malevolence only barely suppressed. [color=black]Quinnlash[/color] was trying to cut the [i]pressure[/i] before it reached Quinn's head, she could feel it. But there was only so much she could do for Quinn, standing so close to the restrained bulk of the Modir as she was. Her mind suddenly [i]shot[/i] back to Hovvi, to the [i]hunger[/i] she'd felt looking at the creature in the demolished store, and she shivered despite the dull warmth [color=black]Quinnlash[/color] was enwrapping her in.

If Tillie left her all alone up her, she didn't know what she'd do.

"[color=ffe63d]We'll ride down together,[/color]" she repeated, voice more tempered, at least by a bit. 

The ride down passed more subdued than the one up, as Quinn stared dazedly out into the distance. As they stepped off the corrugated metal to the hangar floor once again, farther from the brain and thus the [i]pressure,[/i] Quinn had a sudden thought. "[color=ffe63d]Ah...[/color] Pulling her phone out of her pocket once again, she tapped the screen a few times, pulling up the camera and turning to Tillie. 
"[color=ffe63d]I can take a picture of you, right?[/color]"

Met with an enthusiastic approval, Quinn snapped a quick full-body picture of Tillie, plain hangar wall in the background. 

A moment passed, and she waved awkwardly. "[color=ffe63d]Ah, uhm, I'll...see you later, Tillie, okay?[/color]

With that said, she retreated back towards the elevator to the dorms, eager to escape the ensnaring presence of [i]Ablaze.[/i] As she went, she kept her phone out, tappa-tappa-tapping at the screen. Just before she entered the hallway, she tapped the send button. A moment later, an image would pop up on Besca and Dahlia's phones, followed by a brief caption:

[color=ffe63d][i]this is my new technician tillie. you guys should meet her, she's super nice[/i][/color]
