After a rough week of missions and training Etoile had damaged both her hands pretty badly. She didn't know who else to contact at the time being. She remembered her recent friendship with Bentley. She called him up, asked if he could help her with her hand situation.
I used to also include 'Scourge of Man', and 'Destroyer of Hope', but I thought that was stretching things out a bit much." He gets out some lotions and squirts some into his palms, rubbing them together.
"Those sound delightful...maybe a little. Still very original greetings." She says. Etoile watches him prep his hands. "Be gentle...they hurt like hell." She gives off a warning.
He starts gingerly, working the lotion across the cracks in her skin.
He presses his thumbs into her palms as he spreads the lotion around them. "So how did this happen again?
And we evil geniuses prefer the term 'eccentric'."
"He only functions when I control his main functioning system. My brother was working on developing him into an A.I...but never had the time. We both developed together, more so my brother. He's amazing at this kind of stuff." She said, looking up at Tav and back to Bentley.
"You have a killer robot in a suitcase..." He turns to stare at Etoile in awe, still holding her hand gently between his.
"You have no idea how excited I am right now."
Etoile grins brightly at him. It's nice to see someone in awe or interested in this. Not many can be bothered by what she does hobby or power wise until mission time. "You're good at this kind of stuff as well right? Maybe you can help me fix a few minor problems in my other ones....I process stuff like a computer - at times I can't fully do stuff like this on my own." This is when her brother comes into play. He could do this kind of work with his eyes closed.
"Heh... heheh... heheheh... HA.. HAHAHAH.. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh, you've got some cracked nails too, you should get a manicure." Just as quickly as the laughing started, it cuts off, and he's focusing on the hand massage again.
She looked down to her nails and looks back to him. "Yeah. I spend too much time working on computers and my robots I forget I'm a girl and I need to maintain certain things." She says.
He finishes the one hand, and moves on to the other. "We should have a spa day, once your hands heal up and you relax a bit."
"It's okay. I like it. I'll let you on a little secret...." She leans in to whisper."I secretly desire to control all computers in the world." She says with an almost evil grin, she never could pull it off.
"....Spa day? Potential evil mad genius wants to do a spa day?" Etoile blinks at him. She couldn't help but laugh a little, what an interesting guy. "Sounds brilliant to me! I could use a spa day to be honest."
