[Good afternoon! It’s hot where I am so reminder to keep cool unless it’s cold, then keep warm. Also drink fluids. Trust me, sometimes just schlormping some water can make your day a lot less urgh.]
“Oh, uh, thanks! I try.”
She stands awkwardly for a long moment, trying to build up the courage to ask what she needs to.
“Speaking of getting mail to people I um…well if you’re ever bored or have time I uh… well I have an idea for a project. I’m pretty easy to contact. Just shake a jar full of rocks under the glow of a full moon and I will appear,” She deadpans.
“I’m always up for doing something new” he told her “I hope whatever you’re thinking of is a bit of a challenge.” The Engineer smiled at her “just send anything you have my way, and I’ll keep you up to date on how it goes.”
She smiled back. His friendliness was pretty calming and infectious to be honest.
“Thank you sir, I’ll get you a write up asap. And for challenge… it involves bending space to make big things fit in a small thing, but knowing your work I dunno what the challenge rating would be. Oh and gun, it sorta is gun.”
She checked her watch
“Hoo boy, I gotta run. But it was good to meet you, sir.”
She hops back in surprise at the sudden landing and tenses, trying to keep her professional friendly and nonthreatening demeanor. Instead of the high key anxious nonthreatening demeanor. Messenger takes the outstretched hand and gives a firm handshake.
“Well yeah but don’t worry I only know what I need to. And that’s like, your class and that you’re very very coo- I mean important. To missions and stuff, Guns.”
Obviously flustered and only making herself more frazzled, Messenger fumbles with the envelope before finally managing to hold it out to Engie with her free hand.
He chuckled slightly and took the letter in his hand, running his thumb over the sent address.
“You’re important too” he told her “we all need our mail. Regardless of where we are.” He slid the envelope into his pocket, planning to read the letter later.”Keep up the good work ma’am.”
“Oh, uh, thanks! I try.”
She stands awkwardly for a long moment, trying to build up the courage to ask what she needs to.
“Speaking of getting mail to people I um…well if you’re ever bored or have time I uh… well I have an idea for a project. I’m pretty easy to contact. Just shake a jar full of rocks under the glow of a full moon and I will appear,” She deadpans.
Messenger grins and waves back, squinting from the sun in her eyes before shading them with that same hand. She holds up a manila envelope with the other.
“I’ll bet! Probably a great star-gazing perch too for when you want to look ominous at night. Name’s Messenger, by the way. You’ve got some mail from Texas here- I would have dropped it off by your house, but it’s been suggested we get introduced…Uh, would you like me to…find a way to get it up to you? I don’t wanna be a hassle.”
He gazed down at her for a moment, he hand’t heard anything from his family there for a while. “No need to come up” he told her, quickly jumping down “it’s nice to meet you.” He held out his hand to shake and smiled “I’d tell you who I am, but given that you are delivering my mail I take it you already know.”
She hops back in surprise at the sudden landing and tenses, trying to keep her professional friendly and nonthreatening demeanor. Instead of the high key anxious nonthreatening demeanor. Messenger takes the outstretched hand and gives a firm handshake.

Obviously flustered and only making herself more frazzled, Messenger fumbles with the envelope before finally managing to hold it out to Engie with her free hand.
He looked down at the other and gave a small wave “I can see you coming from a ways away from up here” he told her “it’s quite the view actually. A guy could get used to this.”
Messenger grins and waves back, squinting from the sun in her eyes before shading them with that same hand. She holds up a manila envelope with the other.
