"Kaaaa-aaaaaa-aaat?" Ellie sing-songed as she thumped on the door to Kat's workshop. "You're not still blowing shit up, are you?" She wisely decided to wait outside for an answer, since she didn't want to get any shrapnel to the face. "I mean, it's cool if you are! Just lemme come watch!"
"Nah, I took a break." Kat deadpanned, opening the door to wave at Ellie. She had a white apron and safety goggles on over her jeans and tee, and held a blowtorch in her right hand. "What's up?"
Ellie raised her eyebrows at the blowtorch. That was... alarmingly hot? Ellie was dressed in men's boardshorts and a sleeveless shirt that had 'sleeves are bullshit' printed across her chest. A sense of style? She did not have. "Sin gave me the afternoon off, figured I'd use the extra time to come annoy the hell out of you." She beamed. "Maybe steal a few kisses, if I'm lucky."
"Hm. I think a few kisses might be stealable..." Kat told her, pretending to ponder that for a second. She stepped aside, silently granting the other girl entry. "Don't worry.. nothing too dangerous is still out..."
"Oh. Well that makes me feel a whole lot better," Ellie replied dryly with a lopsided smile as she made her way inside. She waited for Kat to shut the door behind them before quickly leaning over to peck her on the lips. "There's one."
"I'd say to pace yourself, that you only get so many, but...." Kat giggled, rolling her eyes. "I think we both know that's a lie." She took the other girl's hand, leading her over to one of the tables, on top of which was the beginnings of some type of blaster or cannon that was twice the size of Kat. "That was nice of the ladies to let you out early..."
"Sin's a sucker for the pout and batting of the eyelashes. Works every time," she joked. Actually, the store had been pretty quiet and they didn't see the point in having Ellie basically just hang around. She cocked her head to one side when she saw the weapon that Kat had been working on. "Can you even lift that thing?"
"Nope. Not even slightly." Kat replied without a second's thought. "When I need it flipped over, I'm gonna give Uncle Groot a call. He was gonna bring me some stuff anyway, and he'll move it for me." She hopped up onto the table, crawling atop the large weapon as they talked, inspecting something at the top. "It's gonna be a while before it's anywhere near done, but I'm gonna need to get in under it in the next day or so. I could use anti-grav pads, but that would make it unsteady, and steady is key here."
Head still cocked to one side, Ellie's gaze shift to watch Kat crawling about. Yep. She was totally paying attention to what she was saying. "...Could you use a car hoist for it, or would that be the same issue? Unsteady?" She asked after an admittedly long silence.
"Hmm. If I can think of a way to rig up a hoist in here without having to tear too much of the room apart, that might be an option..." Kat mused, crawling into a small hole in the side of the blaster (it helps to be little!), so that just her legs and ass were sticking out of it. "It would be a lot easier if I did some of this after the blaster is already installed on the side of the ship, but if I did that, I wouldn't be able to get into it to do the modifications."
"Uh... huh..." And THERE went the helpful part of Ellie's brain. "Babe? You are being INCREDIBLY sexy right now, you have no idea," she finally blurted out. What she was saying coupled with the view? Was it any wonder that Ellie's mind went to the sexy place?
Wiggling her way back out of the blaster, Kat wiped her forehead, sliding down off of it and to the floor. Taking the goggles off, she raised an eyebrow before saying one simple, not-at-all-subtle thing: "Welllllll, the door does lock, you know."
Ellie's eyes widened and she rushed over and locked the door, since she certainly did not want any unexpected visitors. "I mean, if you wanna just work I will just quietly sit and happily watch. It'd be difficult, but I could do it." She gave Kat a charming lopsided smile. "But those kisses weren't just reserved for your lips." Bold of her to say, but not untrue, either.
"Is that so?" Kat asked, leaning against the project she'd been working on, giving Ellie a devious little smirk, crossing her arms over her chest. "I mean... I'm hearin' a lotta talk, but I'm still seeing you standing over therrrrrre..." She said in a teasing, sing-song tone.
"Hey, I'm workin' up to it! Gotta be all romantic and shit," Ellie joked. She knew how to be romantic and that wasn't quite it, though. She gave Kat an obvious once-over as she oh-so-slowly walked back over to her. "You know I can't help myself when you're covered in grease stains."
"Or when I'm bent over a project, apparently..." Kat quipped matter-of-factly, having noted the change in Ellie's demeanor after that. "I'll never get what you find so flarkin' sexy about me, hon."
