How can you honestly be angry at this guy?" she said with a sly grin. judging by the performance it seemed as though he was easily annoyed by the little MRZ. "Yeah you're pretty cute." she said the the little zoid.
Ice stood before offering an amused smirk "You bet, after all that paperwork who wouldn't." "Since I don't know this Area as well I suppose you'll have to show me the best bar."

Talon couldn't help but get the impression that he was being duped by the MRZ. He eyed the sucker, grumbled, and crossed his arms tightly over his chest. Annoyed? Not so much. Fuming mad? HELL YES! And the little MRZ chirped and purred away at the attention.
"You'd be pretty peeved if you knew him better. Moe, quit being a ham. "
He kept his gaze on the little MRZ, half paying attention to Ice right now. "Yah. It moonlights as a Pizza Parlor for the local kidletts. You'll have to ignore the bright colored balloons. " Talon muttered, but he was smiling. Moe bounded around his master, barking happily. He loved going to the pizza parlor! The ball pit was fun. Everyone liked him there. And Talon ... Well, he sighed and resisted the urge to tackle the MRZ into silence. "Its a twenty minute walk south of the east enterance. " He did a mock bow to the lady, not out of the whole class thing, but hey! She was an areal pilot. Had more skills then him. He liked his earth. Good old earth. "Ladies and annoying little Zoids first... "

Ice grinned she was right on the money, he must hate being ousted by the little zoid. She'd make sure he'd remember it. Though she figured the little zoid didn't need any real help with that though.
"I'm sure we'd be fine." she said with a haughty smirk. "Right Moe?" Ice winked at the MRZ. It moonlighted as a pizza place? That was something, she was thinking something like a high class bar or something. But that sounded much more interesting and exciting.
Not much of a gentleman acting like that, he put to shame to the true gentlemen she knew. But either way, "Me first, my thank you." she mocked him a little right back as she started toward the south exit. "Come on Moe." she bade the little zoid to come, though she knew he'd prefer it with his master more regardless.

"Yeah yeah... go hold it over me later. I'm at the ends of my paycheck. 'S only place I could think of that I could get food and good beer for relatively cheep. " He grumbled. Moe barked and seemed to be laughing at its master squishy thingy.
Talon really wasn't trying to be a gentleman. Heck, the day he got out of this military crap he'd go back to being the suave guy he was naturally. An eyebrow rose as Moe barked and followed the lady. Huh...Guess she isn't as bad as her first impression was. He snickered and followed after the two.
"Curious...How'd you earn your name anyways? " he asked from a couple paces behind. Pft..like he was going to match pace with her. Didn't want fools thinking strange thoughts.

"I will." she smirked as she walked ahead. This was going to be quite amusing after all. And Moe had even come to walk beside her. He was a nice little MRZ.
SHe tilted her head as he spoke so she could ear better. "My name." that was a simple answer "From my abilities." That and the Redler used to be neon blue before the military guys couldn't stand it anymore and insisted it be changed to something that didn't resemble republic colors. "I'm one of the best pilots around the capital." she bragged casually.

"Oh goodie..." he grumbled, yawned, and decided that a conversation would be easier closer to the girl then away. Besides, Moe kept looking back all sad like. Poor, sweet, adorable, annoying, lovable Moe. The next chance he got, he was sooo sending a letter to whomever made it asking for a list of animal traits. Might make it easier to deal with. Might. Might not.
Talon was slightly--okay, very-- unsatisfied with the answer. Something about it screamed cryptic. Then again, she could be telling the truth and not pulling his leg. Darn his cynical state of mind. "So it really does come from your skills and not your nifty hair do? Fancy..." Apparently 'fancy' was his word of the week. It would change in a week, month, day-like period hopefully soon. Talon upped his own pace, jogged a couple of steps and fell in a pace beside the MRZ and Icy. "You know. You could have gotten it from your fiery personality. "

He was obviously unhappy with her cryptic answer. "Unsatisfied?" she chuckled "anything more will cost you." she smirked before giving a nod "Of course it doesn't come from my gorgeous hair." Ice grinned "Could very well, but it would just be Dragon then."
"What about you? how'd you manage to enter into the Emperors Prized Team?"

"Yes. Actually." He had been hoping for more, but at least she had a sense of humor. "How much would it cost me, exactly? If it costs me my Zoids then I'll have to do it the old fashioned way of snooping about the pencil pushers. They like sweets you know. " It wasn't a threat, just a mild hint that he could find out if he really, really wanted to. Actually, that sounded rather fun. Better then lazing about all day waiting for a crisis or for some letter delivery. "Which is why it would make more sense if you just told me so I'd stop pestering you. "
Moe squeaked and seemed to roll its eyes at that. Oh dear. Now the hooman squishy had a project. This was going to end up with tears and maybe some spilt blood.
The tables turned and Talon shrugged, throwing his hands behind his head as he thought of the nicest way to put how he thought about how he ended up here. "If I knew, I would probably have a better answer then the Emperor decided to throw a lottery and I managed to get a winning ticket. " He fell silent after that. If he knew...oh if he knew he'd give whomever drafted him a good talking to. Maybe a punch to the gut. But hey! It was good money. And speaking of good money, that Pizza joint was coming up.
Talon pointed the place out to the girl, "Zeek's. Best Pizza and Beer in this city. " Moe bounded ahead and bounded inside. There was a scream and then coos of girls flocking to him, no doubt. Or he jumped into the ball pit and was playing with kids. Talon decided not to think about that.

"How bout I tell you after you buy me some beer and some Pizza." That was her decided price. Ice grinned "And save the poor pencil pushers from the cavities and headaches you'd give them."
He was being cryptic right back. Damn that guy, "Well then, it wasn't for your skills?" she prodded with her words "You couldn't be there without them." she was an aerial ace and she was sure the Emperor's draft men wouldn't pick someone just out of the blue. Ice looked up at the pizza place when they arrived. "It's bright..." she said before Moe dashed off.
"You've been out done Talon," she laughed as soon as she heard the screams of girls from inside. "Really out done..." Go Moe.

Talon snickered. "D'aww... You drive a hard bargain. " He reached forward and managed to catch the door as folks were heading out. It was a two way door, but eh... habits. Odd habits. "And I'd've bought them sugar free candy and coffee. And then baskets of pain killers after I got the information. "
He nodded on that thought. Pft...She was a mind bender. He had to use some effort to keep at least ten steps ahead. "No. Well, I don't know. I suppose it was for my mad skills. " He grinned at Ice, "But I'm the one paying for dinner and drinks. " Yeah... He had some skills. He just liked bumbling about like a fool. Made folks leave him alone. Worked wonders. Especially kept the annoying young fools away.
"Bright? Er. Well, they're still changing the decor for the night run. It'll get more sophisticated...maybe. " Talon thought for a moment, "If the owner remembered where they put the decorations that is. We might get Christmas stuff tonight... " and poof! His mind was elsewhere.
Talon's eye twitched as Ice seemed to side with Moe. Why do folk side with Moe? Wasn't he the one with the whole flesh thing? Flesh was appealing, right? Apparently cute had to be there too. Sigh... Talon leered at Ice for a moment, "Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, you are a real funny man. Whoo. My sides are splitting! " Mirth. He certainly had none of that around. It sounded more like angry mumbling then anything else. "Get in there and sit your rump down at a table there, Icy, before you drop the outside temperature with your cool attitude. "

A grin crossed her face "Of course I do," she said confidently before adding "Oo you make me feel terribly sorry for them." he drove a hard bargin himself but she wasn't going to say that either. "I'm sure I could tempt them with other things that are far less troublesome." mainly money pencil pushers usually liked getting tips compared to a headache.
"Riiight mad skills," he had to have skills but she couldn't guess correctly what they were until she saw the raptor and it's pilot in action. She walked through the Door Talon held open. "See you can act like a gentleman to a lady." Well she'd have to tell him about Striker's previous color scheme now, maybe.
Christmas? wasn't that a little late? "This is certainly an interesting shop," she chuckled then held back a laugh as Talon suddenly burst into mirthless laughter. "doesn't look like you'll beat more anytime soon" she said adding insult to injury. Icey? Damn he was annoyin, though honestly she'd never heard that one before.
"Oh and don't call me Icey..." she added with a cool edged tone. She certainly could be cold when she wanted too. She still sat down opposite to Talon. This was kinda fun.

Dang... A woman after his own heart. Too bad he wasn't looking. Why do they always show up when he's too busy to look at girls? He raised an eyebrow at her, "Hey. At least I'd earn loyalty, not bribe them to death with money that is tax-deductible... " Where did she learn how to bribe? High Council 101: Money Talks? ... Was that class available at the local college?
Probably. Never went to that one.
Her sarcasm was met with a wide, knowing grin. Like a snowball's chance in Hell would he show off his skills to her. It wouldn't be fun like that. "Are you calling me an uncivilized, low brow, ape? Why...I'm flattered. " Gain one point and loose two. Yay for negative points! Course, opening the door also helped him gain points with the ladies... that were cooing over Moe bouncing around in the ball pit. Sigh.
"Its something to keep folks amused. Depending on the day you can get all the national holidays in one go! " He chuckled, tootally ignoring the little dino squeaking and chirping with delight as someone decided to play fetch with him. Hey! Moe wasn't causing trouble, Talon could relax. "Ah.. I already do. I just don't feel like trying. " Somehow he ignored the insult and just dealt with it. Huh...maybe most of his actions were an act? Could be. Could be.
As Talon slid into a seat, he paused as she said something about not calling her something. This got a slightly inquisitive look out of him, but that was about it, since well, there wasn't much he could say to that other then, "Okay. But Ice sounds like a really bad rapper name. No offence meant or anything of that sort. "
Talon quickly ordered a couple of pitchers of the house beer, and two large pizzas... the second large was explained 'For Moe..so he doesn't eat mine" to the waiting staff. Course...this was when Moe had gotten bored so the dino bounded over, hopped onto the seat next to Talon, and rested its head on the table with a tired huff of a purr. Contentment whaffed off the little Zoid. Talon seemed just as relaxed oddly enough.

"Is tax decutable, now where would you get that idea?" she smirked back. "Loyalty that's paper thin of course." she shot back elegantly. Bribery was one of the first things her father had taught his daughter. And obviously taught her well.
Damn... that was a good recoil by Talon she wouldn't loose her ground. "You're quite welcome, uncivilized Ape." Interesting, She'd never seen a mismatch of holidays like that befroe. This was indeed an interesting place.
"Of course you don't, because you're unable to defeat the adorable little Moe." she smirked as the beer was ordered.
Fine, then. He was good to say the least. "You may call me by my name, then" she paused "It's Ranee." hopefully that sounded better to him. She grinned "Good job Moe."

" An accountant actually got a bribe he could write off as tax-deductible. Then again..." Talon smirked, "I suppose that it's all accountant's preferences and ability to lie to the standardized system. " Heh, the male decided that he'll let this one go. There were just too many ways he could like a match on that one. He'll let her win...for now.
Another mock bow was given as she thanked him for his incivility of holding the door open. "Oook, oook. " This was amusing. Wait... attention wavering. Distraction imminent ...
"In this environment? Nope. But in any other environment sans the little MRZ, say Moe's nap or sleep cycle, I'm pretty much a commodity. " Talon settled back into his chair. "Unless of course you're trying to distract yourself from me by focusing on Moe? " An eyebrow rose and those eyes of his traveled from Ice to the MRZ next to him.
Moe sighed happily and gave a squeaking chirp, flopped its head off the table and onto Talon's lap demanding some sort of petting. Huh. Moe was tuckered out. BIG TIP TIEM!!!
He glanced up from Moe and blinked. Well, he hadn't expected to know her actual name! He eyed her in confusion for a couple of moments. "Curious, now that I know your name, do I have to jump through more hoops? It's rather hard with a snoozing Zoid on your lap. " It wasn't said in any other tone then neutral, normal conversational tone. "Pretty name, Ice. "

"Letting me win I see.." she grinned "Where's the fun in that?" she accused him, fighting for a win was far more entertaining.
"Hardly, you're not my type." she waved off his previous comment. That would hurt some pride. "Too bad for you." she already had a fiancee. Some Nobleman she hadn't met yet in the capital that her father and mother had arranged for her when she was born.
Che put her elbow on the table and pointed at him "Of course, I never give anything for free." but she'd remind him about this latter when he was least expecting it.
"Thank you," she gave a slight smile as the pizza and beer arrived.
