Chapter 27 - Ikora Likes Fluffy Robots?

After punching Zavala a couple more times for trying to be bossy. Cayde-6 finally had to stop him from talking after he got over his laughing fit. As this is the first time he's likely seen the main titan leader of the Vanguard. Get sent flying by a punch of another guardian so many times. Which isn't all surprising as titans are supposed to be tanks. Yet a hunter warlock made one a punching bag everytime he spoke rudely.

"Are you gonna stop trying to demand I die basically? Or do I need to move from your face to your crotch when I hit?"

Cayde-6 when he heard that seemed like he really wanted to watch that. But knew it'd be very painful so he gave Zavala a look to give up. Which Zavala had to raise his hands in surrender with a sour look. While his ghost appeared a while ago to talk with Wrathos. So his ghost has a better understanding of my situation than him. As he only knows I have the darkness in me with the Traveler's light. Which he probably showed up when he did because, Cayde-6's ghost leaked stuff.

So now thats willing to listen I tell him what I told Cayde-6. While moving my hand down to make Rasputin who was hiding in the corridor. Lower the highly destructive railgun in pistol mode that aimed at Zavala's head. As he mumbled something about destroying a wall quietly. Which again this reinforces that Rasputin is crazy against hostile people. So once he's fully no longer hostile, he joins us in the lounge to talk.

During our talk Zavala was mostly quiet which is fine. I prefer talking things over with the loveable exo hunter than his stick the up ȧss. Me and Cayde managed to make an agreement between us. I'd help them out when they seriously need it and in return my group has access their facilities. While with Zavala as he is so Traveler happy, he stops messing with me in the Traveler's name. In return I'll listen to his opinion on certain things.

So with those out of the way I ask if I need to meet Ikora. Cayde clapped his hands together and screamed great idea. As that'd likely make her excited to learn of a new warlock possibility. Zavala left after that little question after only saying do so. Cayde stayed aboard my ship though helped me pilot it to the towers hanger. Where we all departed and I gave Rasputin the strict command to learn to be friendly. So he went off on his towards a bar that Cayde recommended. To complete this command I just hope no one dies today knowing him.

Cayde led me and Myriad around the tower and had us greet the vendors. Some of which weren't there in the game so they either left or died before then. When we passed through the bar area of the tower, Rasputin was actually drunk dancing. Guess he likes alcohol which yea exo's are able to eat and drink. The food and liquid just becomes the stuff keeping our joints and stuff oiled. Which I learned something a little disturbing that wasn't mentioned in the games.

It's that exo's actually have some fleshy parts and dna in them. So thats a little disconcerning but at the same time very interesting to say the least. So as we walk and talk about things we finally arrived at Ikora's area. Cayde went to find her while I sat down on couch with Myriad. Laying on my ŀȧp peacefully as I pet her head and ears. Getting some pleased wafu sounds from her as she enjoying it. That when Cayde and Ikor came back from Cayde found her at.

Cayde moved a little fast and actually gave Myriad some attention. While a small smile was on his face as he lets out a relaxing pleased sigh. Before he left after saying good luck to us and to have fun. Guess Cayde must not get many chances to relax or see animals much during work. Ikora sat down across from me and began speaking to me about my powers.

"Cayde mentioned your a hunter warlock, but not normal ones. For warlock however he mentioned that your a necromancer. Can you please elaborate on this? I'm quite interested to hear about this."

With a helpless smile I watched as Ikora went scholar on me. Eager to learn about what I can do as a necromancer, that if I don't please her she'll hound me. So I asked if she could bring me a body and bones to use. Both of which were quickly provided by a group of six titans. Who dropped a Cabal leaders corpse and weapon and three bags of bones. Down on the floor before leaving the area off to work again likely. So I made the corpse reanimate and pick up its weapon.

As I made them be stored in a sorta of Hades storage. That necromancers can use the Hive skeleton went into my storage, as Myriad and me are one in the same. Since she was born using my soul thus we can share things mainly. When Ikora saw the undead group vanish into a black portal though. She seemed to be curious about it so I just explained its storage. But we spent nearly eight hours together talking about necromancy and Myriad.

That she moved over to the couch I'm on and started rubbing Myriad's belly. Along with other things that got a rouse out her from Ikora's attention. So like Cayde I learned she likely never has break and that she probably really loved fluffy things. As she didn't let Myriad escape or seem bothered that her fur isnt real but metallic. Letting her have a bit of time to relax was fun to watch that when we left. Ikora made us promise to come around again twice every week. Women are strange but at least I'm not likely to be bored here!
