This is the longest Fareeha has been on her own. No parent chaperoning her, no guarded escorts, no visits with her extended Overwatch family like Reinhardt or Jack. Gabriel was at least here, so that was good, and she has made friends with some of the other Legionnaires, but without guidance and a set routine she's gotten restless.

So, she's made her own routine.

It includes mature things that she thinks would make her mother happy; healthy foods, time spent training, reading through the news or any books she could find. At the end of the day, though, she's still a kid, so there are times you can find her on the observation deck with a piece of cake and a litany of colorful threads spread out as she spends her time deftly making friendship bracelets. It's a fun hobby, and leaves her with something to gift the people who have been nice and helpful to her, but it's also a distraction so she's not constantly thinking about how much she misses home.

If you've spoken to her once or twice (and weren't mean) there's probably a bracelet in there for you.

"You're talking about Chrono Oblivion? I know about that. You think he has spies here?"

Her brows furrow, and she thinks back over the people she's met so far. Were any of them spies?

[araignee_du_soir]

"If the words of one of its heralds, spoken to whom the herald believed to be allies, are true." A faint smile tugged at her lips. "The Legion is the greatest obstacle Chronoblivion faces; it would be foolish to believe it has not infiltrated the organization."

Fareeha looks out into space, thinking about it. Perhaps, with this news, she shouldn't be putting herself out in the open like this. She's just trying to do the right thing, but sometimes, it was hard to figure out what that was.

"I didn't think of it like that."

[araignee_du_soir]

"Do not worry about it. You are still young; you should cherish this time in your life." Widowmaker looked out the deck windows at the Earth down below.

"Once it is gone, you will never get it back."

[tiny_justice]

She glances back at Widowmaker, "Is it safe, not worrying about it?"

[araignee_du_soir]

"For you? Oui." Widowmaker turned her head a bit toward Fareeha. "I am here. No one hides from my sight."

It was odd, talking to her like this, but the fact that Fareeha was a child and still full of wonder and potential made it easier. It also helped that she had no idea who she was. It was always easier talking to people that don't automatically assume she was a psychopath that would kill them at any given moment.

As if she would bother wasting a bullet.

"Thank you." The rifle might still be a little off-putting, but maybe she was wrong about this woman. Maybe she'd make a bracelet for her too .... "My mom's a sniper, actually." She says, making a little small-talk as she goes back to working.

[araignee_du_soir]

Had Widowmaker not had her emotions sapped from her or she lacked control, she would've smirked a bit at that tidbit of information, knowing what fate had befallen the child's mother. But that was something she was going to hold onto until the opportune moment. Besides, there was no sport in ruining a child's impression of their parents when they were still young and impressionable. The tears were so much sweeter when they came from adult eyes.

"Impressive. It takes a lot of skill. And hardened guts."

[tiny_justice]

"She's really great." Blissfully unaware of the secrets Widowmaker guards, Fareeha looks up beaming with a prideful glow. For as much as the other agents inspire her, her mother is her entire world at this point.

[araignee_du_soir]

"I am sure she is." Was. Widowmaker could at least respect Ana Amari's skill; she was just better than the woman. "Do you plan on growing up to be a sniper as well?"

[tiny_justice]

"Mmmm, I don't know. It's cool, but it'd be fun to have a warhammer like Reinhardt's!" And there's the inspiration for her venture into heavy weaponry and armor (among other things).

[araignee_du_soir]

"Perhaps." She, too, had found the Crusaders to be cool when she was Fareeha's current age. Reinhardt had always been the consummate gentleman when she met him unlike Gerard.

"It depends on how much patience and discipline you possess."
