Gaige and Tina sat across each other, whilst the other two seats were occupied by Princess Fluffybutt and Sir Reginald. Felica Sexopants was hastily given a high-chair, as Tina wanted to invite her to the party, even though she was a rabbit plush with a rocket strapped to it's backside. Gaige had her arms crossed, watching the demolitions expert with a cross attitude, with a frown making her seem more bitter. Tina was of the usual attitude; Casual gossiping with plush toys with almost frightening glee and certainty that they were actual living things. Gaige was a few years Tina's senior, coming in at 18 while Tina had just turned fourteen. Tina was giggling, trying to hide her mirth with the back of her hand but failing. Deathtrap was simply reclined on top of a shut off Mister Sparks; a generator that had been the power-source to kill Flesh-Stick.
Tina, who had her tea-party with Maya, Axton and Salvador the other day, had (begrudgingly) invited Gaige and Zer0 over, as you couldn't have one without the other following- or, as Zer0 put it, guarding- but Zer0 was busy infiltrating Hero's Pass for intel on the remainders of Hyperion corporation that day, so Gaige accepted. The two still had bad blood beating between them with a vengeance. Ever since Tina cursed Gaige out for 'copying her swag,' to which Gaige responded to by cursing her out, the dislike for each other was intense. It wasn't until Axton separated them that the fiery anger between two women was quelled. Tina's birthday had passed, which meant it had been two months since last contact, which Gaige would've been happy with if their next contact was never.
Tina slid a plate of crumpets towards her, biting her lip to find something to say to a angry nemesis that wasn't along the lines of kissing her backside. "Look, sista, I know I said some pretty bad things way back when-"
"I am no where close to being your acquaintance, let alone your 'sista."' Gaige interrupted her, before unfolding her arms and cracking her knuckles. Tina only let out a nervous laughter with no amusement behind it. "Yes, yes. Anyway, look. I'm sorry." Tina shrugged, glancing at her half-heartedly, before her lazy eye rolled to look at Deathtrap. Gaige stared at her harshly.
"I expect more than THAT, if you want me to get any friendlier to you than Deathtrap making you respawn until you'e broken every last New-U, or got so poor you COULDN'T respawn." The red-head snarled with icy venom. Tina flinched; Usually she expected such attitude from Salvador losing a duel, or Mordecai losing in a match of strip poker to Lilith. In both situations, such venom was never spit at her.
Tina fought the urge to retort, gripping the armrests of her chair with extreme tightness, so much so her knuckles got paler than usual. Of course, they were always bandaged and bloodied from blowing up bandits, but still.
"I see. I'm sorry; When you arrived on Pandora, hearing about you from Sully and Axton made me shiver in excitement. I thought that we could have playdates, drink tea, eat crumpets, blow up stuff, but when I saw you…" Tina fumbled with her hands, "I kinda blew my top off." Gaige only smirked icily at her. "I did too." Tina smiled hopefully at her.
"BFFTBST?"
"BFFT-what?"
"BEST FRIENDS FOREVER THAT BLOW SHIT UP TOGETHER!"
"Deal."
