IV :: Jerk Offs ::
How did I live for so long without the sun?
I sighed contentedly and wiggled around on the rock I was currently sun-bathing on, listening to the water hit scummy rocks a few feet away. The sun was amazing - and so were sunglasses - with the way it warmed my skin in ways those 'Sun-Ray Imitation' rip offs in the Vault never could.
There's only one draw back to my little relaxation time.
The Paladin that won't quit tossing insults my way.
"Carpet muncher."
Oh, just because I'm not a part of their dumb little club, I get to be called names?
I breathed in deeply through my nose and tried to melt into the rocks. "Tea bagger."
"Damn civilian, you need to take that trash can and move on."
Trash can was catching on, even with strangers. I pushed up my sunglasses and looked over at my little shiny ball, seeing the green light on his charger blinking slowly. Almost done. I settled back into the rocks, hearing that assholes partner chuckling. I already told them, I'm not going anywhere until ED-E (yeah, he actually does have a name. Came on this license plate Moira sent over to my house before departing Megaton - turns out it had been attached to the little guy) was fully charged.
We had been walking with no trouble towards the Citadel - of course, I didn't really know what it was until the asshole told me - when we were jumped by some raider assholes, four of them. I got hit first and while I was down, ED-E fired his laser, which drained him after just one shot.
Which also brings us to our current predicament.
"Move on, civilian."
"Fine," I snapped, sitting up and aggressively gathering ED-E in my arms. "No wonder the whole Wasteland hates you assholes," I spat on his shiny right boot.
As I stomped off, I heard the other guard laughing but I didn't know what at. Me, or my treatment of his partner. Either way, I took it as him laughing at my cheekiness and laughed myself, skipping along the edge of the Potomac.
