something something, back to the beginning with 7.5, something something spend nearly half your life doing something, something memories, something totally probably not at all actually related to the plot of the patch, but something something excuse for me to write cheesy flirt lines-- self-indulgent as hell little brainworm of an exchange that may or may not actually happen but i sure as hell had fun putting tyr through it xD loosely inspired by the premise of returning to hutta for 7.5 and name-dropping one of the new characters, so technically some kind of spoilers but. obvs we don't know much and this is just. deeply, deeply self-indulgent fun on my part for now, lol. [but that kind of stuff is under the cut, if that is important to your reading choices <3]
âWe have been to Hutta before,â Vector recalls. They step up to the agentâs shoulder as Tyr leans into the doorway, cocking one foot over the other.
Tyr grunts, âSomehow.., Iâm inclined to doubt much has changed inâŚâ A grimace starts to pull the agentâs features tighter around his eyes, as if counting the years might make the aches settle deeper. âOh, twenty years, almost.., isnât it?â
Vector hums thoughtfully. âMuch has changed, agent,â they remind gently, âBut⌠not so much, all the same, we concur.â They watch the agentâs eyes scan the distant swamp for a moment, noting the restless toy of his hands along the fit sleeves of the overcoat he wears.
They recall a saying on the ways of old habitsâŚ
âWe suppose not all things can improve with age.â
A sharp, loud huff leaves their companion. Vector begins to smile. Itâs enough to still Tyrâs hands - they instead fold together across his waist, supporting the agentâs lean. Out of the corner of their eyes, Tyrâs own narrow as they turn on him, mockingly accusatory.
âVector Hyllus⌠Iâm going to assume good faith.â
âOf course, agent,â they reply. Their smile widens under the mounting suspicion. âWe have known plenty to admire a fine vintage.â
Tyr doesnât quite manage to choke back a bark of laughter beneath a hand flying up to his mouth, nor does it entirely conceal his smile and the brush of color that enters his cheeks. Vector mercifully turns their eyes back out to the smog-hugged buildings awaiting them. Shortly, Tyr clears his throat. âYou know I prefer Kaasi brandy myself.â
âOf course. Youâve always had a most enlightening taste, agent.â
Tyr coughs lightly and shakes his head. âAh⌠right. So.â
âSo,â Vector allows. âWe⌠are not familiar with this⌠âYusinduu,â agent. It will be our first time in the district.â
âRight.â And just like that, a familiar lighting bolt clarity clears Tyrâs eyes. He pushes off from the doorway and waves Vector down the ramp with him, sweeping his jacket over the holsters at his hips. âStay close, for now. If Hutts are reliable for anything, itâs an eye for profitable motives-â
Even that brief smile was well worth the diversion. They follow after the Commander, tucking their hands into their pockets.
âDo you think there is any relation, agent?â
Tyr begins to frown - a familiar brush of durasteel and the first gasp of rain-heavy air from the horizon. âI wouldnât be surprised in the least,â he says.
His eyes skim the edges of the streets over Vectorâs shoulders. âYou know, I think you owe me a drink-â A cover for the agentâs sentiment to find a place to observe the local hum.
He claps a hand to Vectorâs shoulder with a grin, eyes clear of the aged rhythms thrumming in battle-tested veins, no doubt. His fingers squeeze carefully around their shoulder and his voice drops for only a moment, âIf I know anything about Hutta, itâs that weâre all good for someone⌠for the right price.â Stay close. Stay vigilant.
Tyrâs eyes face forward again, easily slipping through unfamiliar streets - enough heaviness in forward steps to keep their path clear and draw only the barest of curious glances. New faces on Hutt-controlled streets aren't uncommon. Nine wants them just under the radar. For now.
âLetâs see who we should be today, hm?â
