„... so then Zer0 just put his gun down and said", Mordecai straightened up and mimicked the assassin's smoky voice, "You managed to shoot / the holographic apple/ that is impressive."
"And then? Did he get angry?", Moxxi asked eagerly and nestled up against his arm while they walked through Sanctuary's dark streets.
"No, not at all! He was actually really polite the whole time." He shrugged. "I'll never get that guy... He's still crazy good with a sniper though", the hunter declared as they stepped around the entwined and half-naked bodies of a sleeping couple. Choosing the path through the small alleys to get back to Moxxxi's might not have been the best choice, but otherwise they would have had to walk across the main plaza. Judging by the sounds echoing through the night, Krieg and his friends were either making bouquets from intestines over there or just singing love songs. He couldn't decide which was more discomforting.
"So how did you do it?", Moxxi asked and poked his flank.
"Do what?"
"Shoot out the hologram of course! As it was just an incorporeal projection of polarised light, there was no physical barrier for a projectile to disintegrate. Ergo, your bullet should have have passed straight through it, leaving it unaltered."
"Wow, I didn't know you were smart." The hunter said, visibly taken aback by the sudden salvo of technical terminology.
Moxxi raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, don't get me wrong! Of course you're smart, but I never expected you to go all... sciency. "He grinned. "Sexy and smart at the same time? Now that's like a Maliwan Hellfire! Maybe even hotter than that," he smirked, "Unfortunately though I have no idea what half of those words mean."
"Well, thanks for the compliment, Sugar. I do have a few hidden talents." She winked at him. "So? You still haven't answered my question."
"Well, that is something of a trade secret."
Moxxi pushed out her full lips to form a disappointed pout."Come on Honey, don't be that way!"
"Well... I guess I can make an exception for you...", He looked at her with conspiratorial eyes and then leaned down to bring his face close to her ear. He could smell the delicate fragrance of her hair. Mordecai could feel her body straining with excitement, whether from the story or his proximity. He relished the brief moment before whispering almost inaudibly: "Shock weapon."
She lolled her head sensually and purred like a sated cat. "Clever", Moxxi hummed and curled her exquisite lips to a smile.
"I do have a few more trade secrets up my sleeve", the hunter grinned, "And not all of them are about guns or killing things", he added meaningfully.
"Oh stop, you!" she pushed him away with a playful nudge and waved him off as if embarrassed by the intimation.
When they finally sauntered into a small square they were greeted by the red glow of the neon "Moxxxi's" sign on the wall of the bar.
The brunette pulled out her key and opened the side entrance. "And there we are! Come on in, Love." She held the door open and gestured him through. Moxxi didn't bother moving aside by much and let her breasts casually brush against his chest as he stepped past.
