"You'd have to find me to do something that kinky." Despite his words, Fate winced. Exploding hands and penis-ripping? Well hadn't he just found a classy, non-violent one. "And I'm a way better hider than you."
He paused briefly at that, wondering if the non-compliment had instead come out in a creepy, 'I can see you, but you can't see me muhaha' kind of way. He shrugged. "Your boundless patience must be why you're such a mark."
He sighed. "Okay, you bump into anything, you'll need to know where to go. I can do that, but only if you've got a comm open, capisce?" Whoever her drone-pal was had firewalls the breadth of a planet, looped and routed a hundred dozen ways. But they were already lurking on her heels; no point playing coy. He released the code he'd prepped for tricking the facial recog sensors and instead proceeded to nudge a virus directly toward its nerve-center. Nothing fancy, just some code to make it a bit aimless. A nice rest would do it some good. "Look, I don't have all my gear set up so I'm not fully integrated today. If I were, you could be hanging out in Radius right now with no one the wiser. Unless they saw you in person....not much a guy can do about that. Legendary prowess or not."
"Who runs through Duat, princess?" he asked, and didn't wait for an answer. "People with problems, that's who. So we'll do this nice and casual. Make your way under the pipes like you belong. Head up or down, whatever. I can make you not look like you so long as you're not darting out of frame." Recalling the code he'd pushed aside, Fate made a few revisions and prepped to park the overlay as soon as she emerged. At the very least, she needed not to be green. "Running makes people stare at their vidlinks and wonder how much your problems might be worth. Running's bad."
On the whole, people didn't care about random strangers wandering about the bowels of Osiris. But he'd seen her, and he'd merely been bored. Someone actively looking for her would be running filters, and moving slow enough, he could tamper with each feed. Too fast, and she could slip free of the program's grip; one frame was all it would take.
The drone wobbled in a circle. Its vidlink skewed. Fate reached back for his drink and chugged some of the tea, less disgusting now that it was tepid. Fuck prowess. He was a god. "Right. So, I've hobbled his eyes for the moment--"

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
