[ There'd have been a comment about letting South carry her where ever she likes later, in that case, but Sombra's attention has already shifted. Although she doesn't seem to have a list, there isn't a lot of deliberation when she's picking things out - this clearly isn't her first time building a machine, and she clearly knows what sort of build she's going for. Extra clear when a salesperson tries to "help" and Sombra shuts him down so quickly that he slinks away from her, frowning.

And no, South really doesn't need to understand what the hell the parts are in order to hold or buy them. Sombra's lack of explanation for any of them is a pretty good indication that she agrees. ]


Annnnd- [ Said as she places a case with some little screwdrivers in it on top of the growing pile, ] These. And also, this monitor. [ With her now hands free, she pats the top of a box on the shelf beside her. ] And that's it! For my tech, for now.

[ There's a smirking Sombra behind the pile of things South's holding, somewhere. ]

I always know what I'm doing.

[ Or at least, she always makes sure it looks like she does. But that's neither here nor there because right now, yeah, she's sure, and she happily lets South take care of the expenses for her. The clerk still doesn't seem very enthused by Sombra, but he does at least provide a bag for things. It's something. ]

Come on, I need a pillow that isn't trash. [ And she's off again, expecting South to keep up as she flicks open her map again. Her other dots are quite close, now that they're in a bit of a little shopping area - although there is one dot that, if South's paying attention, she might notice is laid right where the Up housing is. ] Then food that may or may not be trash, that one we'll have to find out.

New place. [ She answers distractedly, seeming to have forgotten (for now) her little game of forcing South to lead when she's the one with the map, as she navigates now on her own. ] You know, since I haven't been allowed [ sarcastic air quotes ] to buy things up here on my own before. Haven't figured out yet if it's actually Mexican, or just American trash.

[ Spoiler alert(s): it's more American trash, and also she's going to end up getting and eating it anyway.

But before that, pillow time. And to her credit, Sombra does, in fact, only pick out one pillow in the little department store she brings them to next. Well, one new pillow, a purple (can you tell she likes purple, South?) pillowcase with a little skull pattern on it, and also a bottle of neon pink nail polish she sees on a shelf they pass by. ]


I'll carry these. [ You know, the fluffy pillow and tiny bottle. ] They might be too heavy for you.

[ It's difficult to miss the amusement reflected in Sombra's face when South commits to the bit. What can she say, she likes it when someone allows her her little jokes.

Once paid for, the nail polish and pillowcase are slipped into her little backpack. The pillow gets tucked underneath an arm, she's checking her map with her free hand again, and for their final stop she's off again. The restaurant she's chosen is, in fact, Americanized food, and she does, in fact, still order whatever the hell she wants anyway. South can add whatever she wants too of course, seeing as she's, you know, paying for everything and all. ]


Okay. [ Turning on her heels to face South again, Sombra smiles up at her while their order is finished. ] Done. Which means, [ A step closer, the back of her hands that hold the pillow intentionally bumping South's thighs, ] You can take me home with you now, eat with me, and then you can do whatever else you want with me after. Or vice versa on that last one, up to you.

[ Stealth and recon is kind of Sombra's thing (not that she's been entirely upfront about that but, well, that also sort of comes with the territory), it's not difficult to tell which of the two of them has more patience than the other. But she seems happy with that, and she laughs when South describes her apartment in such a bland sort of light. ]

Hah, you telling me you're not an interior decorator? [ It's okay, Sombra's "decorations" are sort of... well they're something. Give Sombra some time to take over, South, then you'll see. ] And what's wrong with your neighbours?

[ It's just as well South picks up the lead - even though Sombra knows damn well where they're headed, she'd been about to slip back into making South guide her anyway. ]

[ No argument, only a laugh. ]

Aw, you don't want to introduce your friend to your new contract partner? [ The "hurt" in her voice is so dipped in sarcasm that it's pretty well impossible to miss that she's joking, but. She does give a cursory glance to the door across the hall once they get to the right floor, more curious than anything else. ]

Who is he? And his asshole sub?

[ Incidentally, Felix is already on her radar because of her previous snooping. She doesn't have much on him, just that he seems like a hostile loudmouth which, honestly, kind of makes Sombra want to poke at him when she gets the chance, but. She'll behave, for now. ]

[ A stupid prank instead of an introduction, of course Sombra immediately appreciates that. ]

I'll stay quiet while you psychologically terrorize him, then. Ah, gracias.

[ And she slips in when South, more burdened with things than she is, holds the door open for her. It's the first time she's actually been inside one of these apartments (although she's dug up some blueprints, so she kind of had an idea of what to expect), so without further invitation the curiosity takes over and she's happily inside looking about. Pokes a few things without thinking, curious, and quickly finds herself beside the punching bag. ]

Haha, ever imagine Felix's face when you're using this? You know, just- [ While Sombra hasn't really given South much prior indication of a familiarity with fighting, when she hits the punching bag she does it with a fist (more specifically, a fist while wearing acrylic nails) that she clearly knows how to make, and her form is, tellingly, not terrible. Her accompanying little hyah noise is intentionally silly though, and it turns into a giggle. ] Or is that too bad?

[ Okay but the idea of taping a printed out picture of Felix to the punching bag is exactly the sort of thing Sombra would do for a laugh, so obviously it sparks a similar little idea in her head when South says it. But that's a dumb little project for later, and instead Sombra circles back to South and, more specifically, the food. ]

Haha, I don't know, if he's that much of an asshole maybe his punching bag double deserves it.

[ Seemingly content to leave her tech nonsense aside for now, Sombra instead sets to ripping the packaging of dinner open - not impatient or aggressive, really, just careless. ]

I don't really cook, by the way. [ Sarcastic again, ] Just telling you now, so you don't get any housemaid fantasies.

[ Sombra's not familiar enough with Ducky yet to know what they may or may not have in common - South is probably a better judge on that one, and can likely already tell that Sombra adds... well, something different anyway. ]

Even.

[ The fridge will be half filled with energy drinks and Sombra's snacks will be in every random cupboard before the month is out, but those are eating habits South's just going to have to find out on her own, because Sombra doesn't offer them upfront. Either way, she seems happy enough with take out so she sits, cross legged the way she does when she's at her desk, to eat with South. A couple bites in, ]

Ay, dios mío, [ A muffled laugh, and in spite of the description she's about to give, she actually sounds pleased, as though maybe she means it in the good terrible food way, ] This is terrible.

[ Oh good, she hasn't noticed the contents of the alcohol cabinet yet, but it's likely that a few things in there, after a bit of time, will also be touched. For now, she has her very informal dinner which truly, is all she really wants right now.

Food wise, anyway. Her other wants are, obviously, in a heap where South left them. She'll get to her latest build after. ]


, that. [ Still, Sombra sort of fails to come off as the culinary, fine dining sort. ] Kind of what you expect outside Mexico, though.

You know, I want to say no gracias to that because you make it sound like extreme airplane food, but on the other hand- hah, space station food sounds like the sort of thing you should try at least once if you have the chance.

[ So space station food and everything she's sure surrounds those circumstances are points of interest that she files away in her analytical brain - to ask more about later, because right now, she's a little distracted with dinner. It's good enough for her and, in spite of her little complaints, it's extremely likely that South will be hassled into buying it for her again in the future.

After she's finished, Sombra takes a moment to sigh and do a little stretch, sliding a bit off the seat of her chair as she leans her head back, coloured hair spilling over her shoulder when she turns her head towards where her tech is. She babbles something about it in Spanish, what sounds like a checklist she's repeating for herself and not South, before she's turning purple eyes back to South when she realizes she didn't even ask- ]


You do have a desk in the spare room, right?

[personal profile] hackeo 2022-04-22 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
No hay problema, you can just buy me a new one if it's trash.

[ There's a playful sort of tone to her voice when she says that, but at the same time, she did also just put a weekly presents for herself condition in a legally binding contract earlier today, so yeah, she is probably (definitely) not kidding.

Sliding off the chair and onto her feet now that she's satisfied with food (and her little stretches), Sombra's wandering off again on a self-guided tour. She knows which door should be hers, and yet, watch as she opens every other door first anyway. ]


Who's Lina? [ As if she doesn't already know who Agent Carolina is. ] Your last contract partner?
