Mei nodded to his response, understanding his meaning, and knowing as well as he did that the fight wasn’t over. When he asked how good she was at fighting on the ground, she opened her mouth to answer, but before she got the chance to, he turned to talk to his mechanic, and then had a conversation with someone over his comm. She placed a hand on her hip and watched in amusement, occasionally glancing away to check on the progress of her repairs.<br/><br/>When he asked once again how good she was on the ground, she smiled lightly. He noted that there were dropships on the way and offered for her to join if she wanted to. Naturally, she did, but she waited for him to finish before she spoke. When he mentioned that there was a difference between his pilots and her and the other chaos pilots, she tilted her head a bit. She couldn’t necessarily disagree, though.<br/><br/>When he’d finished, she gave him a nod. “To answer your first question…At least as good as I am in the air,” she replied, not to be cocky, but as an honest estimation of her skills. “Probably better, since I’ve been doing it far longer,” she admitted before shrugging a little. The fact that her Valkyrie wasn’t nearly as maneuverable as she would like also played into that, but it wasn’t the primary reason. “At any rate, it’d be my pleasure to join you,” she answered with a genuine smile.<br/><br/>As they waited for the dropship to arrive, she checked over the weapons she always carried on her person, including a couple of handguns and several knives stored in various places on her fitted suit. It had long ago become a habit to carry them no matter what, and it was a habit she’d never seen fit to give up. After a quick check, she headed to her own fighter a retrieved a rifle before hopping back down and speaking to the mechanic for a moment.<br/><br/>She grabbed her helmet and spoke to the commander to let him know where she was going as she slung the rifle over her shoulder, and she came to stand near him again. Rifles were generally not her style, but she was perfectly capable of using them, and she recognized their value in a fight like this one, so she would be remiss if she didn’t bring one along. “My name’s Mei, by the way,” she introduced herself, holding out a hand if he wished to take it. Seeing that they’d crossed paths a number of times but had never actually introduced themselves, she figured it was probably time.<br/><br/>When the ship arrived and landed on the deck, the rear door opened. Hearing the question, she chuckled a little to herself, “Absolutely,” she murmured, although she allowed Skylar to lead the way, following him onto the dropship and finding a spot to make herself semi-comfortable for the flight down to the ground.
