[ All it takes is for him not to focus on Zer0 or how cool Zer0 is or how a high-five from Zer0 would be the greatest experience in the universes. ]

Huh... I guess I should call to see how he's doing with the whole armour thing. I only finished the jet on the back.

[ because yeah Reinhardt has a jet on his back, nbd. ]

He's pretty strong but... I dunno. Do you think he'd stand a chance? You kind of have that--The Thing.

[ The Decepti0n skill that Rhys has oh-so-eloquently named for him ]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

You've worked on his equipment?

[DO TELL, Reinhardt's stuff is basically the coolest shit ever.]

I can out-pace him, / But he has experience. / It might be even.

[Reinhardt's pretty damn old. Maybe he's smashed ninjas with that hammer before. you never know.]

[rhygret]

Yep. Not a whole lot yet but I think I can get them back to to mostly-working order. It's the actual metal in the armour I can't do much for. I'm used to digistructing. I don't actually know how to actually hammer out metal or anything like they did in the old days.

[ But he agrees, 10/10 Reinhardt's amazing. ]

Oh man...

[ That's high praise coming from someone like Zer0, no wonder he wants to fight the guy. Rhys blinks. ]

That's. Pretty strong, wow.

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

Regardless, that's a handy skill set to have.

[Look at that Rhys, Zer0 thinks you're usefulish maybe. Good for you.]

Look, the guy is ripped. / I'm like skinnier than you, / Brute strength-wise, he'd win.

[can you imagine this noodle trying to arm wrestle Reinhardt I mean come on.

[rhygret]

Oh...um. Th-thanks, heh. If you ever need anything fixed like that I'm--Im your guy.

[ HE WISHES.

Rhys is honoured by this praise to a ridiculous degree though, seriously. Praise from Zer0 in any fashion is better than money.

(This is saying a lot because Rhys loves money) ]

Bossanova was pretty big too though and you kicked his butt pretty good.

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

[/Finger guns. You're they guy, Rhys.]

Psh, Bossanova? / He was hardly a challenge. / Amusing job, though.

[Zer0 liked the part where he stabbed him in the woofer. Good times.]

[rhygret]

[ Rhys liked the parts where Zer0 was there, and also where Rhys didn't die ]

He was...definitely something alright. A very loud, very insane...something.

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

He was pretty tame by Pandora's standards.

[so remember that coffee Rhys handed Zer0 like a year ago? Neither did Zer0 until like right now. He lifts the cup to take a drink but it just tinks awkwardly off his faceplate. How uncool]

[rhygret]

That's fair.

Man, I remember being totally-- [ clink ]

[ Well. That was...kind of cute? Like. Rhys blinks for a moment, not sure if he should laugh or not there because it's funny but it's also Zer0.

He'll manage something bubbled in his tone as he holds back a snicker, smile wide. ]

Uh. You...want a--a straw, or something?

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

[If Rhys laughs Zer0 will cut his goddamn ears off.

Okay he won't do that, but he will slowly turn his head towards him and stare for a couple seconds. He might be embarrassed, if Zer0's even capable of feeling such a feel.]

Please.

[hell yeah he wants a straw]

[rhygret]

[ Nice recovery there Zer0. Rhys will just try not to let that smile of his get too wide across his face as he stands to go and get the straw, handing it over when he returns. ]

Here.

[ he's not sure if he should offer to look away or what with the helmet thing. He's never seen Zer0 in anything less than full-bodied attire and admittedly he's curious?

But also not to the point of pushing because being near Zer0 at all in any capacity is a dream come true ]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

Thanks.

[Nah Rhys you're good, Zer0 just slides the faceplate up a teeny bit, just enough to fit the straw into his helmet. Zer0's face remains a mystery for another day, but the coffee isn't bad.]

[rhygret]

[ He will just enjoy the fact that Zer0 is drinking his coffee through a straw and consider it more than ample payment. This is...kind of adorable, honestly. Rhys can't wipe the pleased expression off his face as he takes a sip from his mug and sits back down on the couch. ]

Anytime. Like, literally.

[ THERE he cut it off before it got too fanboyish right? ]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

[I mean that dumb look on Rhys's face is a little too fanboyish, and the fact that Zer0 flashes him a <3 before he realizes that he's flashing a <3 and stops flashing that <3 probably isn't going to help is it.

Maybe Rhys didn't notice and Zer0 can just drink his coffee in peace??]

[rhygret]

[ NOPE Rhys saw it. He gets appropriately pleased when he sees it as his chest does this happy tightening thing. Rhys might even make this happy nasally sound too? But it doesn't pull him away from his sip or do anything worse than that.

Look at theeeeem, they're having a moment♥ pr at least rhys is ]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

[The most awkward of moments]

What is that noise you keep making?

[rhygret]

[ It's okay, that snaps Rhys out of it a little as he blinks and clears his throat a little. ]

N, noise? What noise?

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

You just did it, just now.

[He tries to mimic it but doesn't quite nail it because nobody is as big of a dork as Rhys is.]

[rhygret]

[ Nope, but it's still something else entirely to hear an attempt at the noise come from Zer0 of all people. Rhys recognizes it immediately of course but it still sounds...cute....coming from zer0.... ]

O-oh, you meant...that. yeah. That's a uh, that's just a noise? I make? L-like when something's funny or good. Why? Does it...does it sound weird?

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

[All Zer0's doing is having coffee he doesn't understand why Rhys has to make weird noises about it GOD. It's so confusing. Zer0 looks down at his cup like he's trying to figure this mystery out, then back up at Rhys.]

It's a little weird. / Weird doesn't mean it's bad, though. / Just not... Used to it?

[rhygret]

I'mmm guessing you don't sit down for coffee much.

[ Understatement of the goddamn YEAR ]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

Pretty much never.

[This is a special occasion??? Or something??]

[rhygret]

Hah... I know it probably doesn't compare a whole lot t-to fighting Vault Monsters or corporate dictators or anything. Still...glad you're here though.

[ This is a moment he'll tell his grandchildren about forever. Kind of like this ]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

It's nice to relax. / Wouldn't make it a habit, / I get bored quickly.

[Don't do this to your grandkids rhys they don't wanna know about that one time you had coffee with a ninja]

But ah. Thanks.

[He guesses?]

[rhygret]

[ They should be honoured to hear the tale of how Rhys once had coffee with the coolest assassin ever ]

H-heh. You're welcome.

[ RHYS SMILES ALL HAPPY AND STUPID god Zer0 why are you enabling him ]

You could, um....you could keep it. The key I mean--if you wanted. I know it doesn't matter since we can go back right now a-anyway, but. I wouldn't, uh, mind. If you had it is all.
