Private Finished Which Road To Pick

Geo didn't even say anything this time when she started a new race, didn't even bother asking if her companion wanted to keep playing. She just assumed they were going to keep playing for a while longer until one of them had something to do or grew sick of the game. The android had picked the princess from space again for this one and selected a track that resembled the beach in the previews. She edge forward and leaned in close, getting ready for the count down to begin.

As the race started she boosted forward to get ahead of the pack with the few others that always seemed to be out front. This time though she did not attempt to get any short cuts but tried to just follow the main track and see what happens. For most of the race she seemed to be an almost steady second. Brunhild was in first and every now and then the two swapped places, making it a rather exciting match compared to all the others.

Unconsciously whenever the android would pull ahead she quietly purred with satisfaction, whenever she dropped back or made a small error she growled softly. This happened the entire race but ask her later about and Geo would claim that she did nothing but play the game.

In the end the mercenary pulled through with a very close second, making it two matches for each of them.

“How about one more race?” she asked as she leaned back on the couch again. “Perhaps on the hardest track if you know which that is? It will be, as they say on Earth, winner take all?”

As she asked the final bit Geo tilted her head to the side, a habit she sometime had when making an inquiry or when she would be thinking about something.

Geo saw Brun smile at her and noted that it was rather pleasant to see someone who she had figured to be rather serious relax even a little, and wondered to herself if this was how others had reacted to her the first time she ever smiled at something so simple as enjoying a competition with a co worker. The android couldn't help but smile back, unaware that she was purring slightly at the compliment from the other woman.

Turning her attention back to the television she once again picked the first character she had chosen, the one with blonde hair and the pink dress, and settled into her racing position on the edge of her seat. The count down finished and the race began, and for this one the android had gone back to her previous method of aggressive racing. It would be risky that is for sure, but if played right the win would surely be hers.

As they went around the first lap Geo raced as it was intended to be, making note of how the track went and how to react to the jumps and speed boosts that were thrown out all over the place. She was also hoping for a few lucky item drops to help her along the way. On the second part of the race she started to get more aggressive, taking short cuts and jumps to pull from the pack and get into a race for first between Brun and herself.

By the final stretch of the race, even with the way Geo was driving, it was still pretty much anyone's game until she got the final item she would receive for the game. It was a mushroom, and Geo waited till they had the finish line in site before activating it and managing to pull out a head and secure the victory for herself, even if just barely so. Letting out a triumphant cry Geo actually dropped her controller and turned to her co worker and embraced the woman, purring as she did so caught up in the win. The hug lingered for a moment before Geo finally realised what she had just done and sat back up straight on the edge of her seat.

“That was very enjoyable,” she stated while proving that androids could indeed blush, “we will have to do something like this again. Maybe next time an actual physical activity? An earth sport of some sort perhaps?”

Geo stood up and then nodded to her co worker.

"I look forward to it." she said. "We can pick a date later, for now I must get back to work."

Geo gave a small smile and a nod in parting before turning around and heading towards the door. As she was walking though the implications of what might have just happened hit her. Had she just set up a date? With a co worker? The information got stuck in her processor and it caused her to stumble a little bit as she went out the door, something she hoped had not been noticed.

This would all need further investigation, but for now she had to find something to keep her processes occupied. Maybe she could clean and reorganise her desk again...
