As The Turds Start Flying

"What took you so fucking long?" Scorpio demanded when he saw me before turning to look at Capricorn, who simply shrugged unapologetically in response before turning back to look at me again expectantly. "Well? Are you just going to stand there gawking, or are you going to give me an update? Is this the girl?"

I mentally sighed before walking over to him and giving him a hug which he awkwardly returned halfheartedly before letting go and taking a step back from me while looking away slightly bashfully, which made me chuckle softly under my breath. "I'm glad to see you too, Friend."

"Yeah, yeah," Scorpio said as he waved a hand dismissively before getting down to business. "So, this is the girl that you left everything, including me, behind for?"

Scorpio pushed past me to get a better look at Tallia, who was standing behind me with a slightly apprehensive expression on her face as she looked at him. "Sorry about the scene. I was just, uh, cleaning up."
