[ the worst kind of text to get from anyone ever is "look at this weird thing i found". and from how well she knows 10k, she knows he can have a fair brand of "weird", so she's almost a bit wary when she goes to open up to the picture he's sent, squinting heavily when she sees the blur of it, trying to making out what she's —
oh.
good thing she's got the fluid strapped to her wrist, otherwise it'd be knocking down straight to the floor right now. ]
[ it's not even in the form of a question, because she knows he hasn't, that this kid has been so deprived of most things pop culture for all the backwoods survivalist living he's done long before the apocalypse came to be. ]
remember hanging out in roswell? that's exactly what you would have found if all of that stuff was actually real
[Too slow, he's already sending her a short video of it crawling on the building.
So sinewy and intriguing!]
You've seen one before, too?
[Addy, you've been holding out. you've never seen alien. Does she mean he's never seen a alien because his answer might've been maybe if you count the most awful Easter eggs of all time, but now it's most definitely a yes based on this. And yes, his cryptid-loving heart is skipping just the tiniest beat.]
Don't worry, I'm not that close. The zoom lens on these things is pretty good.
[An "okay, mom" response that doesn't actually say he's turning around right this second.]
it's unreal to the point that when she sees that video, she has to realign herself into remembering that stuff like that actually does happen here. zombies? normal. xenomorphs? not normal.
but is she worried? hell yes, she's worried. mostly because curiosity can sure get the best of him. no matter how much of a roach he is, they do get squashed eventually when they butt into enough places. ]
look just hang tight okay if there's one looming around there could always be another one
[ there could always be more xenomorphs.

okay, but really, how often would anyone get to see them? ]

3/3 I COULD KEEP GOING BUT I WON'T
1/2 ALWAYS KEEP GOING
