Welcome to Gaia! ::

"As Lieutenants we do it because we're told to. It's an easy way of getting us out and about without giving us too much of a task. Mind you, that's my opinion and not anything from the official employee handbook or anything." He flashed Cordoba a grin, hoping that she caught on to the teasing tone of his voice to know that there wasn't actually an employee handbook.

Would have been something if there was, though...

"Before I was able to draw a crowd I kept thing simple. I'd find some dirtbag who was going out to cause trouble and drain his energy to keep him from starting something with someone later. We'd make games of it. There are some good people on our side of the line."

"No. No, they don't." Richterite murmured, thoughts drifting just a little bit darker as he fell quiet following his words. After a moment of pensive thought and regaining his energy the captain stood, holding his hand back down to Cordoba to help her to her feet.

"The manual doesn't mention a lot of things." Sometimes those in charge didn't either. "For what it's worth, Cordoba, I hope you see it through to the end." As much as he would have enjoyed lingering further, being in someone's company for just a little bit longer, he didn't want to risk saying too much and putting the young woman in danger. He really was the absolute worst Negaverse officer.

"Until we meet again?"

"We'll see," he laughed shaking his head slowly as he pulled her up. He gave her hand a light squeeze, wordlessly saying 'thank you' for things he wouldn't be able to properly put into words. It might be easy enough to explain away their attire, as he often did on nights when he was 'performing', but it wasn't always that easy to mask an aura.

"Stay out of trouble." He flashed her a smirk as he released her hand before pulling enough energy together to teleport himself back home.
