Title: ~Sleeping Partner~

Lalna was flying back north along the coast, his hand closing comfortingly over the fresh cocoa beans in his pocket, their rich scent wafting up at his touch. Configuring the machines that morning, he had realised frustratedly that the only cocoa beans they had left were condensed, their taste strangely flat and bland. He had flown south in search of a jungle, breathing a sigh of relief as the high canopies had come into view, burgeoning cocoa pods hanging from the branches.

Returning now, the sun had all but set, and the world below was bathed with twilight's dark blue. He turned, watching the moon rise over the hills. A gathering of lights in the distance caught his eye, and as he flew closer, he realised it was the Sips Co. compound, and stared down at the buildings, curiously tracing the pipes that snaked over the roof of the sorting facility.

With a jolt, he stopped suddenly, colliding in a tangle of limbs and metal.

"Hey, look where you're going Goggle Boy!" Sips said, and Lalna looked up to see the man's pale face shadowed by the flames emerging from his jetpack.

"Sorry, I was just, I mean-" Lalna flustered.

"Coming to spy on Sips Co., huh?" Sips suggested.

"No!" Lalna answered defensively. "I wouldn't, your technology is behind ours anyway," he added, emboldened by Sips' raised brow. "I mean, a jetpack? You should get flying rings, you don't take any fall damage."

"Oh yeah?" Sips challenged.

Lalna looked down at his ring proudly. "Yeah."

"Come on then Goggle Boy, let's test it out," Sips said with a surreptitious glance below, pulling the scientist into a tight headlock and switching off his jetpack.

"Sips, what're you-" Lalna started as they began to plummet downwards. "Oh god, stop!"

With an almighty splash, the pair landed in the pool, water splattering the decking. Sips rose to the surface laughing uncontrollably as he swam for the side.

Hearing the commotion, Sjin peered out of the sorting facility. "Sips, what-" he began, but blinked when he saw the blonde scientist emerging behind, coughing and spluttering. "Lalna? Sips, what did you do?!"

Sips climbed out of the pool with ease, his laughing only increasing when he turned to see Lalna swim to the edge and paw uselessly at the side. Sjin hurried over, grasping Lalna's hand, and pulling him up, the scientist falling against him.

"Are you okay?" Sjin asked, putting his arm round Lalna. "Sips!" Sjin hissed with disapproval at the man, who was now bent double.

"My- my ring," Lalna stammered, looking down at his bare finger in alarm. He turned, Sjin following his line of sight, and they watched as a glint of iron disappeared down the pool grate. "My ring!" Lalna repeated urgently, taking a step towards the pool. "Where does that grate go?"

"Er, down to the pump-" Sjin answered.

"The pump?!" Lalna panicked, imagining his ring mangled into shrapnel.

"It's switched off!" Sjin added quickly. "We'll- We'll find it, don't you worry." Sjin placed a hand on the scientist's shoulder comfortingly.

"But how am I going to get back?" Lalna worried aloud, scanning the dark horizon.

"Just walk it, jeez," Sips said, having finally regained his composure. "You're such a baby."

"It's bloody miles!" Lalna exclaimed. "This is all your fault, Sips!"
