Hi, Sigma. It's [ captain obvious ] Aqua.
...I just wanted to see how you were doing.
[ Well actually, she has a much more specific concern in mind: ] ...Is everything alright with your arms...?
[ She's hoping he's had them heal—repaired by now... (And honestly, she's already gotten past the whole attempted strangling part.) ]
[ It's not like he'd been avoiding her or anything, it's just... weird trying to talk to someone after you go on a crazy out-of-your-mind throttling spree. Even when you both know it wasn't your fault. Anyway, things have been busy, she'd probably been busy, but the text is far from unwelcome when it does come! ]
Hey Aqua! I'm great, how bout you?
[ Actually if this is shortly after hellweek, he's probably still kind of a tired wreck with taped up arms, but details. ]
and yeah not before the whole whatever-the-hell week that was, that was fun, but eventually someone was able to take a look at them for me. it was... [ ...... harrowing. ] well they're functioning now!
[ Well, it's reassuring to see (read) he's in good spirits... A giant relief if anything; fuckboy or no she'd be legitimately upset/guilty/etc if anything had happened to him in those few days.
...She really ought to drop by sometime too, just to confirm for herself, but. For now it's nice to have a casual, jewelry-aided conversation. (It's almost strange to have such ready access to friends and comrades...) ]
That's great. I'm really glad to hear it.
...Who was it?
[ She doesn't know any mechanics off the top of her head... Or at least isn't aware of anyone with the specific skill set necessary to perform such a procedure... ]
[ lbr it's hard to take this fuckboy down a notch, at least after all's said and done. He's a tenacious thing. ]
Uh, it was Asami. she wasn't really familiar with the tech but we figured out it was just an electrical short and she worked it out eventually... tho it didn't occur to us at the time that my nerves also run on the electrical......
Also, I don't think she's around anymore...
[ Whether she got sent home or transferred, he hadn't been able to contact her since. Which was a crying shame because she'd promised him a date. ]
Anyway we didn't really have much time after Chantes, I wanted to thank you properly for... stopping all that in the first place, I owe you big time.
[ It's true, he's built like a tank... Or maybe more like a terminator, judging from this description. ]
I see...
[ She'd met Asami before. Sharp as a whip, strong and beautiful... It's a shame indeed that she'd been relocated, but this isn't the first time Aqua's heard of ALASTAIR's 'corporate restructuring'.
—Also wait a minute, if she's getting all this, ] Your arms are... mechanical?
[ Nerves and electricity...? Yikes...
...There's a small silence when she reads Sigma's apology, but she doesn't hesitate to reply, ]
No need to thank me. [ It was the right thing—the only thing—to do. ] I'm sure you would've done the same.
[ Honestly, she probably doesn't know him well enough to say that with accuracy, but despite some of his... undesirable habits, he still manages to come across as a decent person. Somehow. ]
Oh, yeah. they are... I know right? they've even fooled me once or twice haha [ A real knee-slapper, this guy, isn't he? ]
[ Sadly he's being dead serious. ]
well sure but... not everyone would. Seriously if you ever need anything I'm your guy. like if that blue asshole is still dumping recruits on your doorstep lmk.

Also she can't tell over text if he's joking or not... So she'll delicately let that comment go...
Also! Sigma you're being cute!! Squints suspiciously!!! (At least Aqua is genuine in her appreciation.) ]
Thank you. That's very kind of you.
[ ...Better not mention Lancer's kinda moved himself in, though. ]
'lmk'? [ What is this mysterious chat lingo... ]
