Well, that had Aoba sighing, expression returning to its Desire’d norms as he put his helmet back on just in time to get it clapped before he pulled his hood back up. He didn’t rightly know if wearing it interfered with the powers of his voice, but it had been as impulsive as it had been deliberate, removing it when he did.
“It’s not your fight,” he muttered into the thunder of the Titan’s bootsteps, but he reloaded his rifle and hung back because it had been requested of him. If nothing else, he could experiment a bit more, too.
So, if either Mac or Declan noted singular Vex collapsing without a bullet striking, well, it was no hallucination. Perhaps, Aoba thought, he should look into trying out a sniper rifle. If he could direct his mind from even further than this, well then….
When it was all done and over with, Mac was ridiculously unsubtle—at least to Aoba, who’d been lectured and all, and was quite sure he knew perfectly well as to why he was ‘abandoning’ them so swiftly. Had to admit, though. Declan’s discovery of the ‘finger gun’ was weirdly cute.
“Well you have to admit one thing,” he said, giving the Titan’s arm a light thump. “Now you’re home in a few hours instead of a couple days. Not bad, right?”
