Rep returned fully triumphant from his trip to the cafeteria, a large still steaming mug of hot chocolate in hand, topped with cream. He walked like a man who had just felled some massive predatory animal, but carefully in case he spilled it.
Wandering into the room he purred "Look what I've ******** got."
Only to blink and register that Ro was there.
"Eh. Hey." he stated awkwardly, cautious suddenly of how nasty he was to the newbie with Jordan present. He hugged his hot chocolate to his chest possessively, as if having a stranger in the room somehow put it at risk.

"No, relationships aren't any kind of problem as long as it's not affecting your performance on duty and missions," Jordan said. "It's a quasi-military organization, but since we don't officially exist, if you're interested in any kind of dating you either find another Hunter or you're going to have to keep a lot of secrets and see whoever you're dating once a month or less often." He half-smiled. "It can get complicated, it's a small island, but it's also a good thing to have emotional support, because a hint of crazy doesn't really cover it. Life gets really weird now and then."
He shrugged. "Also, Rep's just kind of prickly like that. Ignore the insults and s**t and you'll get along with him fine." He eyed Ro with a degree of amusement. "I'm guessing from that question that he failed to mention me and Harrison."
The person under discussion appeared at that moment. "Hey, there you are," Jordan said, his smile turning a little soft. "You intending on sharing that or did you just come to gloat?"

"I dun know it's not something I ever gave much thought too. A relationship that is. I was a military brat back home so I moved around too much to ever really even have a good group of friends let alone date someone." He shrugged a bit, "But if I'm stuck here might as well make the best of it right?" He poked his ear ring at the last part. "I have a talking voice in my head that turns into a scythe and I just woke up in a pod straight from a sci-fi film. It can't possibly be any worse. Can it?"
He turned as Rep walked in and was suddenly reminded how terribly thirsty he was earlier. His stomach also let out a very clear growl. "Hey Rep, Jordan let me in while you where out." He turned back to Jordan raising an eyebrow, "You and Harrison?"
He paused.
He thought for a little bit.
<< C'mon now. >>
"This... isn't Rep's room. Is it."
<< Brilliant! >>

Rep's expression likewise almost perceptively softened as he turned his gaze to Jordan. "Well. I was going to share it." he said, before pointedly turning his gaze to Ro. "But..."
He moved to place it on a nearby surface, crossing his arms.
"My room got flooded." he stated coldly, hoping that the way he said it would halt the other train of thoughts in its tracks.

"Your deductive reasoning capacity is astonishing," Jordan said, and golfclapped. "A lot of the facilities got destroyed a couple of months back. My room was fine, though. Natural enough conclusion."
Rep got a single raised eyebrow, along with a very specific and pointed look, one that said get too snappish over this conversation and you are not getting laid tonight.

"Hey don't look at me like that I never said I wanted any." His stomach growled again and he attempted to poker face his way through that as he eyes the hot coco.
"Rep mentioned some stuff getting destroyed, sorry it ended up like that." Still his mind ticked towards a few earlier comments. Handshakes are kinda homo
There was only one bed.
<< Getthembothtotaketheirshirtoff >>
His cheeks turned red again and he made a good point not to look at Rep and focus on Jordan, Jordan was giving Rep a look. He wasn't quiet sure what the look was but it was kind of like a 'behave' kind of stare. Well this was awkward.
<< Nowkisssssssss >>
No that was more awkward, his cheeks almost matched Rep's hair.

Rep met the look and seemed to consider making a stand for his clearly very important right to be a douchebag before seeming to think the better of it, deferring his gaze and turning back to Ro.
"Well you weren't getting any of it anyway." He said. "I don't do sharing, and especially not with newbies." he sniffed huffily, slowly realising the strange look Ro was giving them and the blush.
He scowled angrily. "What? There's a whole ******** lot of people sharing rooms all right?"
He picked up the mug and took a sip before he got even more defensive.

"I'm more interested in who you had to bribe to get the whipped cream," Jordan said. "And the going price. It's not exactly a staple. The cafeteria coffee and cocoa are tolerable," he said to Ro, "but by the time you're getting leave, real coffee is going to taste like heaven. Unless you're one of those weirdos who doesn't drink coffee. If that's the case I'll take your share."

"Right, no sharing, no asking too many questions," He was going to need a list of things to not say or do around Rep it seemed. The rule of no question however seemed to only go one way.
"Ah no I drink coffee, late nights sometimes it helps get things by..." He paused again at Rep though and frowned, "It's not.. it's not the sharing of rooms it's just the one bed... and Syliva is erm.... well....."
<< They aren't kissing. Why aren't they kissing? :C >>
".... did... I think Sylvia is making faces at me..." He would ignore the part where she seemed intent on the idea of Rep and Jordan making out or preforming any form of slightly suggestive actions.

Rep smirked smugly from over the mug as he took a long slow savouring swig of the drink, taking his time and licking his lips before he replied. "The whipped cream is mine. I might just have bought a few cans of it while on leave, along with some of the really ******** good hot chocolate. Treating myself cause I deserve it."
"And aye, the hot chocolate from the cafeteria is ******** rank, I've had better stuff in rations boxes."
The conversational tone iced over at the mention of one bed. "Well there's one bed in here right now maybe." He gave it a sidelong glance. It was pretty clear it had been modded to be more accommodating to more than one person, and he suddenly regretted his choice of venue for this discussion.
Opposing instincts duked it out in his mind, and he finally conceded to the easiest, carefully avoiding any looks Jordan gave him. "Nothing says I sleep there."

"Oh, really?" Jordan's smile was slow and evil. "My question stands, what's the going price?"
At Ro's explanation, he chuckled. "Ferros likes to see if he can get me to react sometimes," he said. "Also, get used to sharing your privacy."
Rep got a sharp look, even if he was carefully avoiding seeing it. "Rep."

"Umm speaking of leave do we get paid or anything too? I didn't bring much with me when I left but I got some money out of my account..." he didn't specify how much, but his dad had left him with one good lesson, a Go-Bag was only as good as what you put in it, the extra 300 bucks saved over time might be a blessing if the islands coffee was as bad as these two made it out to be.
He didn't even respond to Rep's remarks instead keeping his head down focusing on his hands for a moment. Picking at a nail here, scratching an itch over there.
"I don't think Sylvia want's just me to react... she has ummm made a lot of requests today that I don't think should ever really be brought up again."
<< ..... would they just get in the bed and cuddle a bit? >>
"P-please stop saying that Slyvia..." he muttered as he rested his head on the chair. "I'm going to need, a lot of coffee." He added more loudly.

Rep poker faced in a fairly obvious way at Jordan's question, determinedly trying to be completely unreadable. "Negotiable at a later point." he said more calmly than he felt. "Its a rare commodity after all."
He seized onto the subject change like it was a lifeline, swerving away from the point of reprimand. "Oh well yeah, Tracey used to wind me up a lot with s**t. They are people, people like to be giant ******** wind-ups. "
He wasn't entirely sure -given the blushing- that he wanted to know exactly what Ro's weapon was requesting from him.
"You get used to it eventually."

"I'll keep that in mind." Jordan left it at that.
"Yeah, we get paid. Not much, but when you consider that we're not paying rent or other bills, it's not bad," he explained. "Once you can go off-island, you should have a couple thousand available."
The corner of his mouth quirked up at the subject change. "Yeah, you do get used to it. I don't even really remember what it was like before Ferros was with me."

At some point Ro had taken to rotating around in his chair in slow circles. "Huh well then... I guess it gets better then." He continue to rotate rocking back and forth slightly.
"Huh thousand bucks.... I just have to not." He looked at Rep, "Make any mistakes, die horribly on a mission, or get Eaten By a Grue? The labtech mentioned that, Grue's are actually real?"
