Homeless for now. (Possible spoilers in comments.)

Roger that, Mun.

Lead the way and I'll follow. I only request that you don't involve me in that nonsense you put the others in.

Don't act innocent.

You know that won't really work. They tend to ignore that last bit. [Sorry Piers this Captain's a LOT younger than he should be]

[apositive]

[And skinnier than he should be, too.]

[There's a bit of a delay in his response because despite how stony his face has become, he's a bit taken aback. A moment later, Piers just shakes his head and rolls his shoulders back.]

Maybe. But it wouldn't hurt to try, right?

[big_badass_hero]

[and a little more sober]

PRobably not, maybe you'll have better luck than I have with mine.

[apositive]

[And, consequently, less of an asshole! Hey yo!]

Hm. I find that hard to believe...

[What he's referring to is vague. Purposefully.]

[big_badass_hero]

[Mun sobs wanting this version back in the games! Dick!Chris seems wrong]

Hey if you haven't been sent somewhere and nearly kill a future partner... You're in better hands than me. [He's still sore about that one and won't let his mun forget it]

[dodgeslazers]

Yeah, good luck with that. I might not know your mun but not a lot of them are looking out for us.

[apositive]

Seems to be a recurring theme around here.

[And that makes him frown. Just a little.]

[dodgeslazers]

Yeah, what fun would it be if we were happy, huh?

[Being gameless, this Leon is still pretty convinced he could handle almost anything after the latest game.]

[apositive]

Don't think I'd want to know...

[Piers is pretty confident in his own abilities, but this is all new to him. He's not sure, at all -- he just knows he doesn't like it.]

[dodgeslazers]

Hey, it's not all bad news. Most of them like to leave us alive.

Hah!

[apositive]

Is that supposed to be the best news?

xD What? Nothing ironic was said

[dodgeslazers]

Depends on the mun. Sometimes you get to meet old friends, again.

"Leave us alive." And it's Piers and, well...

[apositive]

I guess you're right.

[selfrestore]

Well, that's one way to jinx yourself... [Hiding the amusement behind the line her lips have made.]

[apositive]

It's not intentional, I assure you.

[His lips have made a thin line too, although there's no mirth trying to break through.]

[selfrestore]

I realize it's not, but with how these muns seem to take things anyway... Just be careful, okay?

[Small roll of her shoulders.]

[apositive]

Absolutely.

[A pause and his mouth cracks a tiny grin.]

If you promise to do the same.

[selfrestore]

[Pause at that - wasn't exactly something she was expecting from him, gesture and all.]

Of course! Didn't think that you cared that much.

[apositive]

[Wishing goodwill wasn't so strange was it? Then again, they were never exactly close or chummy...

His expression falls and he stands straighter than before, shoulders back, jaw a little tight. Shifting back into his more common, serious demeanor is rather easy, all things considered.]

You are an Agent. Your safety is of great concern to us all.

[Diplomatic and true.]

[selfrestore]

[ A brief moment or two spent talking, and that was honestly all of any impression she'd gotten from him. He'd come off as rather serious, but in their line of work it was a given, wasn't it? Nodding towards him, she raised a brow at the wording.]

And you're with the BSAA. Rank or not, your safety matters too.
