god, he called for rain

[ the shatterdome is too loud, smells of seawater and sweat, and half the time k-science won't even let him stay in the lab, one of the few quiet places in the entire base. but it's home, in some ways, because heine has lived here for more than half of his life.

and that reason is also the reason why he's doing the introductions for the new pilot arriving today. she's not new new, but new to this shatterdome. heine has read her file.

now he's in his fatigues, arms crossed as he waits on the tarmac for her to arrive. there's a lot to go through before her jaeger even arrives. ]

No.

[ he answers the question like it's an utterly foreign concept to him. it kind of is, honestly. his family has left him with a somewhat unnecessary fear of doctors and the like. ]

You know where it is, right?

[armored_heart]

I do.

[That reaction is rather odd, though if she remembered correctly he had an aversion to the infirmary.

She tilted her head to the side, curious.]

Is there something about it I should be aware of?

[She had been there for her check in as well as after her fight with Magato and there hadn't been anything remiss.]

[shooteverything]

Not really.

[ he just doesn't want to go there, and indicates this by wiping his face again and starting to move towards the showers. being in medical areas, surrounded by the smells of disinfectant and clean gauze, reminds he too much of the hospital and... that woman. he'd rather not deal with it. ]

There's nothing wrong with it.

[Those words aren't exactly resounding, but Naoto supposed that he had been rather forthcoming beforehand so there was no reason to doubt him now.

She gave Rammsteiner a thoughtful look before shrugging slightly, turning back towards the exit.]

If you'll excuse me.

[ don't mind him, he's just weird and paranoid. as she turns to leave, he nods slightly in farewell (or something like that) before he leaves as well.

heine had been in the training rooms for some time before she'd even showed up, and he's well overdue for a shower. there's something about fuyumine that makes her stick in his mind, more so than any of the other new pilots who have arrived and then quickly left. ]
