Jellybean woke up to Amburr's arms around her and she immediately got flustered, but she was so warm in the cold room she couldn't bring herself to escape the octoling's grasp. Jellybean decided to study her features when she saw Amburr's mouth. There was a big scar that ran across her mouth, it looked like it was a deep cut before it had healed.. Was this why she always had a mask? To hide the scar?
Soon enough though, Amburr woke up with a slight tint of blush on her cheeks from seeing the little one's bright stare. She turned her head to the side as quick as she could when she realized her mask was off and that Jellybean saw her without it.
"I-uh-sorry you had to see me without this..." Amburr gestured to her mask with her head. Her speech was muffled even without the mask because of that experiment.
Jellybean quickly shook her head, "No, don't be sorry. I thought you looked really pretty!"
Amburr blushed at Jellybean's comment and grabbed her mask. "Thank you..."
The two sat in silence for a couple of seconds before Jellybean broke it.
"Do you wanna try some more turf wars today, Titan?"
"What about ranked? I'm already pretty high up on terms of leveling."
"Hmm... Sure!" Jellybean said with a bright look in her eye.
"Let me just call the rest of the team-"
"Do you think it could be just us?" Amburr blurted out.
Jellybean was taken aback by her question and hesitated. She got her senses back and answered Amburr. "Of course it can be just us!"
Amburr sighed, got up, and stretched. She could easily touch the ceiling with her hands.
"Hey Jellybean, is it okay if I just call you Bean or something?"
"Sure! As long as I can still call you titan."
Amburr nodded and headed toward the kitchen, leaving Jellybean alone with her thoughts.
'Why does her speech sound so muffled..? Even when her mask isn't on..? Amburr you are one mysterious octoling, I can tell you that...'
