People all had their ways of grieving. With Hit Girl, there were three ways you could go. There was the being pissed off, yelling at the world and gnashing your teeth thing that you did when you were mad someone you cared about was taken away. There was the crying, sobbing and grief stricken thing when you were so sad there was nothing you could say.
And sometimes, you wanted to do something that only you cared about the significance of, whether anyone else wanted to or not. Hit Girl shimmied to the pod, in her hand the fermented drink she picked up a few planets back. It was alcoholic, but it tasted sweet and warm enough that she wanted to save it for a good time, when it would be important.
This seemed good enough. She took a flask of the stuff and poured it over his pod, saying nothing, daring anyone to try and reprimand her.
"See ya dawg," she said, shaking her head. "You'll be missed."
And now? She was off to finish up the drink herself. While Howard and Cedric's death were a reason to be somber, Punchy had been too much of a live wire for her to want to make herself mope. He had a way of making living fun. So why not revel in it?
