The Guardian, The Salt and the Ice Breaker(Short Story in progress)

I work with a Hunter, so needless to say, I really have my work cut out for me. This is the type of guardian who would rather take a 20 minute walk to a certain location when she could simply ask me to summon his sparrow and get there in a fifth of the time. This is the type of guardian that turns invisible in the tower and simply walks about pretending she's doing nothing strange, all because "she thinks it's funny". This is the type of guardian who lands headshots on Cabal(she never misses) solely because "she likes how their helmets pop off like bottle caps". And the real kicker, the type of guardian that has almost no restraint, she has no problem, or shame in looking at me and proceeding to call me "the most adorable thing in the world", no matter how many times I ask to not do that. I respect her, I really do. She is logical, by that I mean that most of the time she knows she's strange, she never does something without having a clue what she's doing. She is clever, not necessarily a Warlock(not even close) but she really is shrewd. No matter how perplexing a problem may be she [i]always[/i] finds a solution, it's not always the best solution but it's a solution nonetheless. Even then, some of her actions and choices are still debatable on a moral sense, I recently got a better look at her scary side. We were arriving at the Tower and making out way to the Vanguards, back from a patrol : [b]"I swear pumpkin, these patrols get more boring by the day, are the fallen having some kind of super secret get-togethers that we don't know about yet? They've really been slacking lately"[/b] -I materialized by her shoulder-[i] "Can you please stop calling me that, and I'm pretty sure most people would consider that good news"[/i] [b]"Well yeah, the Fallen not trying as hard to slit out throats and steal our garbage 'is' good news, jolly, hunky-dory, but if I wanted hours of nothing i'd just sit on the wall with the menacing Titans and look menacing, see who's stupid enough to assault"[/b] -There was silence- [b]" I blame you "[/b] She exclaimed I knew I probably didn't want to start whatever dialogue she had planned, but I reacted anyway. [i]"...What?"[/i] She smiled[b] " What do you mean what? You've clearly scared them away. Seriously, you are like the most frightening to ever float around in the galaxy, you can carry an indefinite amount of gear and you can open just about any door in the solar system as long as it doesn't have a doorknob. If you could fire projectiles from your eye like Servitors you'd be an unstoppable war machine, and you're barely the size a ripe apple"[/b] I just listened, not sure whether I was supposed to be flattered or offended. [b]" You're clearly the reason the other guardians keep their distance "[/b] [i]" They keep their distance cause they think you're weird '[/i] She turned to me and made a hurt yet sarcastic expression. [b]" That was colder than an Old Russian winter Pumpkin, I think I'm depressed no- wait"[/b] She stopped [b]" This feeling, this feeling mystery and enigma, Pumpkin, bring out my strange coins please "[/b] [i]" Oh no, can we just avoid that guy, he's bad news"[/i] But she was already eagerly making her way down the stairs, I sighed, and followed, we had 29 strange coins. /*This is getting long, I think I'll have to split it, seriously 590 words according to word, I'll paste part 2 as soon as possible. I'm open to any type of criticism, although if it's negative(I mean negative in a mean vulgar way) could you do me the courtesy of typing a small angry face on top of your comment(Like so, [b]>:([/b] ). This way I can say 'This oughta be good' and grab a water bottle before reading. Seriously, this is my first time posting something like this, i want to know what you think.*/ Edit1: It's funny how posts look longer inside of the body, like I said, it's my first time trying something like this.
