Summoned

Jerk-y

I was sitting on a double bed, the Scar-H disassembled in front of me on a towel. The blade unsheathed next to it.

"Hmm, I don't think I missed any part..." I whisper as I fold my arms. Glancing at the blue jeans and white shirt I was wearing.

"What? Excuse me but I did not hear you very well." The radio, which was also on the bed responds. A calm voice talking.

"Uhh, I was just talking to myself." I answer as I pick the radio up.

"Oh, I did not mean to disturb your concentration." The voice responds.

"Don't worry Saeko, not a lot to disturb. I'm just watching paint dry. Or more like, water dry..." I chuckle.

"I see. So the gun is fine even after getting dipped in water?" Saeko asks.

"Ya. So I'm more worried about the blade. What exactly should I do? Just leave it as is?..." I ask as I tilt my head.

"Yes, if you made sure you cleaned it as I instructed you, just leave it." Saeko awnsers.

"Aight..." I answer back.

And then, silence. And after a few seconds...

(Awkward...)

"Uhh By the way Saeko..." I speak up.

"You ain't going to try and sneak out the airport the moment Saya takes back the radio, are you?" I ask.

"Hmm? You made it pretty clear that you don't want me to do anything reckless like that." Saeko answers.

"Yes, and you instantly agreed, which makes it kinda hard to believe..." I retort.

"Should I not? I have full faith in your choices." Saeko answers again.

"Not that I do not want to rush outside and look for you. But I know that it would be a foolish decision. Considering how far you probably are." She continues.

"Yea, and walking my way back. It does not sound very fun..." I sigh as I lean on the bed with one hand, then turn to look out the window, the blown-up bridge slightly visible from here, along with a huge amount of corpses that mindlessly kept walking off the now blown bridge and into the river.

"Saya is talking with her father about that matter right now." Saeko responds.

"Hopefully they will be able to get an extraction to come soon too, spending a night in an unbarricaded house surrounded by corpses is not very high on my wish list..." I answer with a slight sigh.

"Hmm? But did we not stay in a house like that? Just the two of us?" Saeko asks back.

"Yea, but. Well, I feel safer with you around." I answer as I keep staring at the blade.

"O, a, ahh, hehe. Umm, it would seem that your compliments still manage to catch me off guard..." Saeko lets out a small chuckle as she answers.

(Should I tell her that it's a fact and not a compliment though? Nahh...)

And after a few more seconds of silence...

"By the way, Naier. Thank you." Saeko speaks up.

"Huh? What for?" I ask back.

"For informing me." She answers.

"You're, welcome?" I respond, Saeko just giggled back at me.

"By the way, does Shizuka know about this?" I ask right after.

"Shizuka?" Saeko asks back.

"Yea, isn't Rika really close with her?" I respond.
