"We haven't heard that one in we think a week. Maybe even two, I think!" Alexi seemed almost excited to the point of giggling. Even more oddly, the drops of sprinkler water that should have been raining down on her seemed to instead be freezing and forming into an umbrella. This wasn't too surprising, granted, cryomancer, but it also happened in slow motion that seemed to extend to Alexi as she reached up to take hold of it. She turned on her left leg before taking a step back, to follow Marquis motion, holding her expanding umbrella, and looking back at him with a smile as he sized her up and looked at her files.
"Guns don't agree with us very well." Alexi twirled her umbrella a little. Her eyes kept flitting back to her sword, and that same smile from before kept flickering onto her lips.
"Here, I'll show you." Alexi reached for a part that was vaguely gun shaped.. But was in no way a working gun in and of itself. Pointing it directly at her face, she felt around for a trigger that was not attached and pressed various buttons and switches, engaging and disengaging the safety and various rangefinding settings a few times, as well as unlocking the nonexistent magazine once. As she did this she put her eye up to the barrel as she tried to figure out what was wrong with this obviously not complete gun and failed.
"Hmm, they usually don't disagree with us this much. Oh well." She set the part back, bending forward to place it back without taking a step. She seemed to stare at Marquis a little with a twitch of the eye as she did, and less than a smile on her lips, when she suddenly straightened up and the smile returned.
"I'm much more attached to my sword. It'd dishonor our memory to wield something else!" She burst out suddenly, and seemed to think she was telling some hilarious joke that only she would get, as she stifled a titter poorly at the end.
After a few moments, she seemed to remember Marquis's final question.
"Oh, we think I was supposed to report to .. the King was it? Is that Eos? Something about pairing me with this prototype so we could compensate for its overheating or something in case there were any problems. Apparently their usual ice lady couldn't make it, so they settled for us. But we got lost on my way here, and then I thought a robot was trying to eat me, but after investigation we think it was just trying to clean the floor. Hopefully it'll be ok after someone puts it back together."@Mega Birb
