A little something for the Halloween thread, for just after Mikoto and Sosuke have their practice match (in a holosuite that Washuu set up so neither of them would end up dead at the other's hands).
"That was fun. Anybody else want to try?"
Kurz leaned over to Mao. "I think Miss Misaka thinks she won that match."
"I'm surprised you're not on her side."
"Against Sosuke? Never. Although it looks like she'll be cute in a few yea- Ow!" Mao pulled her elbow out of Kurz's side. "Assuming she lives that long. She's a common street brawler with a gimmick."
"It's a powerful gimmick, though. We should offer to train her."
"That's up to Tessa-dono."
"'Dono'?"
"Ayeka's speech patterns are rubbing off on me. Too bad Ayeka herself isn't ru- OW!!"
Everyone turned to look at Mithril's AS pilots. "Are you all right, Mr. Weber?" Rob asked.
"I'm fine. I just have this nagging pain in my side."
Washuu grinned. "I can do something to fix you, if you want!"
"No, that's all right," he replied quickly.
Rob nodded. "You should do something about controlling the cause of that nagging pain, Mr. Weber."
