Even though he never [i]really[/i] left his own body, Senjen still took a moment to collect himself after returning to conscious control over it. After having control over a brand new, top-of-the-line Myrmidon model, he felt like he was becoming immediately aware of the extra resistance his worn joints were putting up just to move. “Well I...guess I just have more experience taking advantage of this sort of body than the AI programs.”

Senjen seemed eager to talk to Ruk about the fight. He mimed the motion of toasting with her, his gaze fixated forward, and his tail moved excitedly. “I felt fast, sharp, even with the delay. I really need to show you Pertiktin’s studio sometime. He’s a great teacher, and he really emphasizes how to keep yourself [i]safe[/i].”

There was not time to talk for long before Senjen found himself being handed a potted plant. He looked shocked, for a moment. It was a gift that seemed random, but weirdly relevant to him in particular, and he briefly did not know what to think about it. “Oh, um, thank you.” He took it from the droid. “The frame was tough. Durable. I do like that about it. I do think protection is the priority if you’re in danger. Like I said, I’m not ready to buy anything today, but...I’ll keep it in mind.”

Jess was hesitant to follow, and only grew more reluctant the farther she went. Yet, she did not stop, and she kept all of her grumbling internal. She only ceased for a moment when they came right up to the edge of the gel room. [i]”Seriously...”[/i] She said under her breath. [i]”End up getting soaked...why do I do these things...could just walk away...”[/i] 

Nevertheless, with a long sigh, Jess stepped forward and took the plunge.
