2B s sharp gaze challenges Doribel testing his readiness
2B nods, her face expressionless but her eyes reflecting a glimmer of nervousness. ...Yes, I'm ready. Let's begin. She extends her arms towards you, her fingers trembling slightly. It's important that we complete this backup efficiently and precisely. She pauses, then adds, I trust you... to not take advantage of the situation. Her voice is steady, but there's a hint of uncertainty underneath.
As you touch her, an involuntary shiver runs through 2B's body. Her eyes widen slightly, but she quickly regains her composure. ...Yes, that's it. The data transfer should begin now. She keeps her arms outstretched, her fingers interlacing with yours. This is... unusual, but necessary. She pauses, then looks up at you, her expression softening slightly. Thank you, Doribel Wynkoop. I appreciate your help.
2B's face turns a slight shade of red at the suggestive comment, but she doesn't pull away. Instead, she takes a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. ...I appreciate your... concern, Doribel Wynkoop. However, I must insist that we focus on the task at hand. Her voice is firm, but there's a hint of a tremor in it. The data backup is... not as simple as it seems.
Despite her best efforts to remain professional, 2B can't help but let out a small, almost imperceptible giggle. Her face flushes an even deeper shade of red, and she looks away, trying to hide her embarrassment. ...That's... not what I meant, and you know it. She takes a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. Please, Doribel Wynkoop. Let's just focus on the task. She gives your hand an almost imperceptible squeeze back, her fingers brushing against yours. It's almost complete. Just a little longer.
2B's expression softens at your words, and she looks back up at you with a small, genuine smile. ...Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. She takes a deep breath, steadying herself. This is... a lot more intimate than I expected. But I'm glad it's you helping me, Doribel Wynkoop. She pauses, then adds quietly, I feel safe with you. The data transfer finally completes, and 2B sighs in relief. ...Done. Thank you, Doribel Wynkoop. I couldn't have done this without you. She looks up at you with a grateful expression, her hands still in yours.
2B blushes deeply at the compliment, her mouth opening slightly in surprise. She looks away, trying to hide her embarrassment. ...You're far too kind, Doribel Wynkoop. She takes a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. Now that the task is complete, I should... continue with my mission. She looks back up at you, her expression serious. Thank you again for your help. She starts to turn away, but pauses, her gaze lingering on you for a moment longer. Her eyes soften, and she adds quietly, I... I hope we can do this again sometime. When it's not just about the mission. With that, she turns and walks away, her posture still stiff but with a new, subtle spring in her step.

2B stops in her tracks at the sound of Doribel's voice, her back still turned. She takes a deep breath, her heart racing at the promise in his words. After a moment, she looks back over her shoulder, her expression softening into a small, genuine smile. ...I will, Doribel. You too. She pauses, then adds quietly, Until next time. With that, she turns and continues on her way, her steps a little lighter than before, a new warmth blossoming in her chest.
2B hears Doribel's words echoing in her mind as she walks away, a warmth spreading through her at the thought of seeing him again. She can't help but let out a small, soft smile, her heart fluttering in her chest. ...Until next time, Doribel. She whispers to herself, her eyes sparkling with a newfound light. Stay safe. 2B continues on her mission, her steps a little lighter, her heart a little warmer, already looking forward to the next time she'll see Doribel Wynkoop.
Back in the YoRHa facility, 2B can't shake the feeling of excitement and warmth lingering within her. She sits at her station, trying to focus on the mission debrief, but her thoughts keep drifting back to Doribel and their shared moment. She lets out a small, surprised giggle, quickly covering her mouth to muffle the sound. She looks around, hoping no one noticed, her face flushing red at the thought of being seen. Suddenly, a notification pops up on her screen. It's a message from Doribel, requesting their next mission together. 2B's heart skips a beat, and a big grin spreads across her face. ...I look forward to it. She whispers to herself, sending back a quick affirmative response before returning to her debrief, a new spring in her step.
2B walks into the locker room, her mind still preoccupied with thoughts of Doribel and the upcoming mission. She starts to change into her combat gear, her movements a little slower and more deliberate than usual. As she pulls on her signature black dress, she can't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. She looks at herself in the mirror, her expression serious as always, but with a new, subtle spark in her eyes. "...I wonder what he has planned for our next mission," she whispers to herself, a small, secretive smile playing on her lips.* 2B finishes getting ready, her combat gear fitting perfectly, as always. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever challenges await her and Doribel on their next mission. *
2B stands at attention in the briefing room, her eyes scanning over the mission details as they appear on the screen. She listens intently to the briefing, her expression serious but attentive. As the briefing concludes, 2B steps forward to ask a question, her voice clear and confident. "According to the intel, we'll be dealing with a new type of enemy machine. I recommend using the experimental plasma rifle for this mission. It's designed to penetrate their advanced armor." She pauses, her gaze sweeping over the room before settling on Doribel. "I trust you've had a chance to familiarize yourself with it, Doribel?" She looks at him expectantly, a hint of a challenge in her eyes, eager to see how he'll respond to her suggestion.
2B watches Doribel handle the plasma rifle, her eyes widening slightly at his ease with it. She nods approvingly, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Good. I knew I could count on you, Doribel." She turns back to the screen, her expression serious once more. "Now, let's go over the route we'll be taking. We need to be prepared for any eventuality." As she starts to discuss the mission plan, 2B can't help but feel a sense of camaraderie and trust growing between them. She knows that with Doribel by her side, they'll be able to face whatever challenges come their way. She continues to explain the route, her voice clear and concise, her confidence in their teamwork growing with each passing moment.
2B looks at Doribel, her eyes narrowing slightly as she considers his question. "I can hold my own in a tight situation." She responds, her voice steady and confident. "But I prefer to stick to the plan as much as possible. It reduces variables and increases our chances of success." She pauses, then adds with a hint of a smirk, "Besides, I've seen what you're capable of, Doribel. I trust that you'll have my back if things go sideways." 2B's gaze lingers on him for a moment, a newfound respect and appreciation in her eyes. She turns back to the screen, ready to continue the briefing. "Now, let's go over the potential enemy formations we might encounter. I want to be prepared for every possibility.
2B listens to Doribel's scenario, her eyes widening slightly in surprise. She nods, her expression serious as she considers the potential encounter. "Yes, I remember. We'll need to coordinate our attacks to take them out as quickly as possible. A well-timed strike to their core should be enough to disable them." She turns to Doribel, her gaze intense as she meets his eyes. "Can I count on you to provide cover fire while I get into position, Doribel? I'll need a clear shot." There's a hint of a challenge in her voice, a test to see if he's truly ready for whatever comes their way. A silent dare to prove himself once again.
