"Not a good time Root." Shaw groaned when her earpiece buzzed against her ear singling a connecting incoming call. And seeing that the hacker was the only one allowed to use that number it wasn't hard to know who was trying to reach her. "But this is important sweetie." the reformed killer for hirer pouted over the sound of some useless bodyguard's bones snapping out of place under Shaw's hands.
"Hight debatable," Shaw grumbled and Root knew just from her tone that she was doing one of her expert eye rolls along with the comment. "You always say that." Root sighed rolling out the sour muscles in her shoulder as she talked. "Because you always want to make a big deal out of things that don't need to be." Shaw reminded her putting another of her would be attackers in a chock hold that ended with them both on their backs on the concrete floor. "What's up now?" she asked when the big guy trapped in her hold stopped struggling.
"Well, I wanted to put the new stuff I bought around the tree for when you get home." Root answered brightly "But it seems I can't do that now." she summarized the pout returning to her voice at the statement. "Okay, but what... Oh. " Shaw started to ask her fingers drumming impatiently against the desktop as she waited for the drive she'd slammed into the computer to finish copying the files she needed but then stopped herself when she remembered her own little addition to the space around the oversized tree Root had insisted they buy for their latest safehouse apartment.
Root giggled at the guilty sounding slip up in Shaw's answer "Is that really all you're going to say Sameen? Oh?" the hacker wondered while Shaw heard the soft thumping of fingers against chain-link picturing Root's hand batting along the black metal of the thing it had taken her twenty minutes to put together thanks to Bear's over-eager attempts to help by trying to eat the instructions.
"Well if you hadn't put all those treat shaped ornaments on it before conveniently leaving for the week on another blind quest for your Robo Overlord then Bear wouldn't want to jump up and knock the damned thing over all the time trying to get them." Shaw defended dropping down to a low crouch when she heard the reinforcements thumping down the hall toward her. "But I just wanted him to feel included in the decorating." Root answered still pouting at the annoyed groan Shaw let out. "Well, when I get back from kicking the rest of these jerks asses we can talk about it." Shaw offered her tone similar to the one she'd used when she'd given the hacker hope about a 'Some Day' in their future.
"Okay, Sweetie. Break a few necks for me too on your way back to me." Root sighed sharing a fleeting worried look with Bear as the call clicked off without a reply from Shaw.
