Fix My Mechanical Heart

[IceQueen]

Kiora lifted her head and smiled over at him. "You can help if you want." She said, starting to detach some of her abdomen plates.

Mark nodded as he joined Kiora, feeling that she hadn't been repaid for what happened during their sparring match.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled, bumping her hip into his lightly as she moved to get a new piece of metal and bend it into the shape she wanted it.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled and shook his head as he too grabbed a piece, shaping it as a part of Hollow's structure based on what he remembered.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and kept molding the piece she had in her hands.

 

[grey987]

"Well..." Mark spoke as he finished shaping the section of metal he had with him. "I guess we've found something to do in our spare time before going out, haven't we?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "I guess we have. At the least her organs weren't damaged." She said, looking at the circuits. She soon gave a heavy sigh. "Spoke to soon." She mumbled.

 

[grey987]

"I guess I did a lot more damage than I thought," Mark muttered to himself, shaking his head and sighing. "Well, time to work on them, now."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Yep. Time to work."

 

[grey987]

Mark began to work on the internal damage, rewiring several circuits here and there.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora stuck her hands in next to his, grabbing a few stripped wires and detaching them from Hollow.

 

[grey987]

"Now I know to be more reserved for our next sparring match," Mark chuckled as he worked to repair Hollow's systems.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora laughed. "No, I was being stupid. I took a risk that I shouldn't have taken. I will be fine." She said.

 

[grey987]

Mark paused for a moment, turning to look at Kiora. "You sure about that?" he asked her. He was genuinely worried about her safety now, especially after their short fight.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "I'll be fine. I slipped into a coma once, but that was situational. I don't think my sparring partner will ever get my enraged look out of his memory."

 

[grey987]

Mark looked at her for a while longer, nodding once before resuming with his work on his partner's mech.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Normally, someone would get all defensive over me, but at the least you know that I wouldn't stop anyway." She said.

 

[grey987]

Mark managed a smile. "Of course. How could I not?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Not sure."

 

[grey987]

Mark nodded, letting his smile slowly fade as he continued with the repairs. He was still concerned about Kiora, but he supposed that she could take care of herself.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora kept working and hours later Hollow was fixed and ready to go, leaving Kiora sweaty and gross.

 

[grey987]

"Should have known that we'd end up like this," Mark muttered to under his breath as he dusted himself off before turning to Kiora. "You can go have a shower first. I'll follow after, and then we can leave."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and nodded, giving him a peck on the lips before going towards the stairs and beginning to climb.

 

[grey987]

Mark smiled as he watched Kiora heading up the stairs, following behind but walking at a slow and casual pace.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora grabbed her clothes and walked towards the bathroom, shutting the door behind her.
