#ooc: Spring li- er exists to create questions lmao

Mal, who definitely wasn't preening under the complement, pouts at Shifty's comment. "Mean."

"Not wrong though." Spring notes with a grin.

"I'm being bullied." He deadpans before tilting his head in thought. "Is any bullying towards me technically cyberbullying?"

Spring elects to ignore him. Instead focusing on what Shifty said about her. "Words of wisdom, honestly. There's probably a reason that I can see these things but you can't."

Waking up after deactivation was a slow process that, unless you knew what to look for, could go unnoticed. Unfortunately the two that knew what to look for were either facing away or Mal.

First thing that always started was the breathing movements. Or at least, the first thing that could be seen. Other internal things likely started before this, but it wasn't like anyone could really tell and Spring herself was never awake for it.

Small fidgety actions were the next visible change, making it seem much more like she was just asleep rather than dead for a second time.

But truthfully, Spring had been awake and aware for a bit now, just listening to the conversation around her. Waiting for a funny time to interject.

And she finally found it. "Couldn't agree more." She muses with a grin, finally opening her eyes. "Watching arrogant idiots get shown up is always free entertainment."

"About time you woke up." Mal grouses.

"I'm going to put you in a zip file." Spring points at him.

Mal gasps in mock horror. "You wouldn't dare!"

"Don't compliment him, he doesn't need a boost to his ego." They tease, moving slightly in an effort to get a bit more comfortable.

They notice V trying to figure out what Spring occasionally looks at, and smile slightly. "I'd suggest not worrying about some of the weird things Spring does. It's always a mixed bag."

Sometimes it was just a spirit seeing other spirits, and other times it could be much worse. This time around they were pretty sure she was just watching one of the phantoms, but they were never certain.
