Elma (Xenoblade Chronicles X), Samus Aran

Drabble, Prompt Fill

Running, jumping, sliding down low to let loose a barrage of bullets or a power beam to hit the target in just the right spot...

It's not easy, and it isn't even always natural - it takes training, courage, discipline. It takes more than just a little bit of (alien) guts to be admired by everyone around you, and then again to work entirely alone, battling threats no one else on this planet or any other is equipped to deal with.

And if, after they're done, they unwind from that hard-wearing discipline by being carefree with each other...who's to mind?
