Y/N: Can you hold his arm up for me, Mox?

Mox: Sure.

Mox comes over to the other side of the titan, lifting his arm for me. Right now, he has to hold his arm above his head for a very... very long time. Mox is perfect because she definitely has that guardian endurance to hold it for him.

Titan: You really have to get your measurements right, shrimpy? Not a single pixel off?

Y/N: Nope, not a single pixel... off... You got a lot of area to cover up here too, Goliath...

Goli: When did you get the helper?

Y/N: She has a name... that's Mox holding your arm up...

Goli: Mox... Mox Cuhn?

Mox: Yes, Goliath-4, Mox Cuhn is holding your arm. Stay still.

Goli: What? Where did you get this job from? Why did you take this job? Isn't Phantom out finding medicinal research?

Mox: They are, they took someone else with Serenity's lead now. Now hold it steady. Head straight, now.

Mox hits the back of the Exo's head, forcing him to stay straight as she holds his arm. I get all the measurements I need, wheeling myself to the formatter with his ghosts.

Goli: You know, Mox, there's better ways to use your skills. He looks like he can handle himself... Why don't you come with me, Xi and Brutus, we could use a warlock to teach us right from wrong...

Mox: Teach you right from wrong?

Goli: Yeah, you know... Gambit's always fun with a full team...

Mox: I'm good...

Goli: Come on... do you really enjoy doing this all day?

Y/N: Goliath... she doesn't want to go... just let her help me out.

Goli: Let the lady speak for herself.

Mox: I think... you should pay double, Goliath, for trying my patience. Your offers and innuendos aren't backed by anything according to Ada-1. An Exo... whose form fits for all... isn't satisfied?

Y/N: Oof...

Goli: O-ouch... d-damn...

Y/N: As amusing as it is to hear you two bicker. I must say, I do not wish to have a fight start here. Goliath, don't worry about paying extra-*COUGH!* Mox... you can go if-

Mox: No.

She looks at me with a gaze that rivals my mother when I used to have her. It's a gaze that's terrifying, and soul-draining as it is lethal. I like to think it's along the lines of something I imagined when I was younger, what was it? It was... "What the fuck did you just fucking say you fucking fuck?"

Y/N: Fair enough!

Goli: Wow... you two are locked up tight...

Mox: Y/N, is he done yet?

Y/N: Just about...

Mox: Good, pay up, get out.

Goli: Alright, jeez...

He gets up, walking with me as a roll to the door. He turns to me before he leaves, the ghost taking the ornaments for his armor as we speak quietly, not trying to get her attention.

Y/N quietly: I'm sorry about her...

Goli quietly: It's alright, just thought I could get something out of her...

Y/N quietly: Like what?

Goli quietly: Welp... I like her, man, just between you and me.

Y/N quietly: She doesn't seem the type that would get with just anyone who compliments her or offers her a good time...
