Just to keep the conversation going, I asked.
"So, how's your training been going?"
The good Billion sighed, exasperated. "Utterly hopeless. You're squandering this opportunity."
The wild Billion exploded. "Pathetic. Build some damn balls, bro. This is weak. I tell you this is PATHETIC!"
I clenched my jaw at my own thoughts, silently cursing myself.
North glanced at me.
"Are you sure you are okay?."
I laughed, though it came out a little forced.
"Yeah I am."
She handed me a cup, her fingers brushing against mine for just a second.
The good Billion hummed.
"Ah, yes. A moment of connection. Savor it."
The wild Billion snorted.
"Man, if you don't quit overthinking—"
I shut both of them up and took a sip, focusing on the warmth of the coffee and the girl standing in front of me.
For now, that was enough.
