Fafnir's smile got warmer as he moved in closer and began to flirt. It was the only way to describe what he did, the way he moved and held himself. He knew he was attractive. He knew how to show that to advantage, to dazzle and draw in his audience.
Holding a hand low, he motioned Fettelite to approach, shifting in a casual way to put the man between him and the other officer. It would be up to the lieutenant now. Fafnir could grab the stranger, if need be, but he was hoping hard that the draining would be quick and easy. Just a little energy and they'd be on their way, no one worse for the wear.
It was rarely that simple, but he always hoped.

Fettel had no hesitations when it came to draining. He came in quick, and in the next moment.... He had drained way too much energy too quickly, and the man before them seemed sleepier and sleepier until he found himself propped up against the wall, barely able to stand.
"Heck..." he muttered, then looked worriedly at Fafnir. ".... I'm sorry, what should I do? I can't just... Leave him here, can I?"

There was a moment of disorientation before the man realized how tired he'd become and started to question it, but it all went too fast for him to put up more than a token protest. Fafnir caught his arms as he swayed on his feet and guided him to lean against the wall before finally slumping to the ground. He was careful, and gentle, making sure the stranger didn't hurt himself and was resting as comfortably as was possible under the circumstances.
We don't have a choice in this, but thanks for the energy. He thought, straightening back up in a rustle of hair and draping cloth. The senshi wasn't happy about it, but neither did he feel quite as much regret over it as he had once. It was just business, right? And the man would recover.
"Its fine. We can point someone this way as we leave. You did a good job, if a little hasty about it. You just need more practice to find some more control." Fafnir reached out to squeeze Fettelite's shoulder, putting on a reassuring smile. It was fake, of course, but he'd always been good at fake smiles. "I think maybe we can be done for now. That's quite a lot that you got. We should head back before we draw someone's attention."
Some senshi or knights attention, he meant. If they got off without seeing any of those, he'd feel rather blessed.

The very idea of getting any sort of praise was strange to Fettelite. And when he heard it, he immediately perked up, that worried expression quickly replaced with a smile and a nod.
That's right, with practice, everything can get better. And would get better! He needed to remember that.
"Yeah, I think so.. Are you gonna head home?" That made sense, since he didn't think either of them could teleport. They'd have to wait until the were summoned back to the Negaverse, and for Fettel, he had no idea when that would come.
"You're right, we got alot! I think I can maybe even rest tomorrow!"

Fafnir was already pulling a crystal out of his outfit and he shook his head.
"There are members of my team who can teleport, so I just contact one of them when I have energy to turn in. Its safer than running around with an energy orb you have to baby-sit or risk losing it. They can probably take both of us... do you need a 'ride'?" He asked. Calling it a ride felt weird, but there wasn't a lot of other terms for it. 'Lift'? Maybe.
"We should do this again though. It went well, and I feel safer with two of us out together, than doing it alone."
It was true, but he didn't add how it would let him keep tabs on the younger man if they went on these little missions together. Fettelite wasn't his brother, but he seemed like he needed someone to be a big brother to him. Something. Fafnir was as good for that as anyone, and it eased the ache, just a little, of his own loss.

”Uh.. Yes! Yes, please! My General typically leaves me here until dawn, and since I live in the barracks, I don’t get to rest until then.” It sucked being out so long, but it did teach him to be a little resourceful! There were good places to sleep outside as long as you weren’t afraid of super pitch blackness, or the occasional homeless person chasing him away. And even then, a little bit of draining allowed him to comfortably relax once again.
But nothing beat his lumpy bed in the barracks!
“I’d love to see you again! I dunno if this was fun, cuz it was work, but it was really, really nice not to be alone. And you’re really kind so.... Yes! I would be more than happy to hang out again. Hehe, maybe one of these days we’ll both get stronger and we can provide rides to one another!”

He eyed the lieutenant as he called for one of the others to pick him up, a slight frown pulling his brows together.
"You live in the barracks?" Fafnir asked, trying to keep the judgement out of his voice. Fettelite couldn't teleport, as they'd pointed out... he had no way of getting 'home' without relying on someone else. That was a frightening amount of control for someone else to have over a person. He depended on his own team for travel, but he'd always known that in a pinch, he could power down and call a ride to his mother's house.
"You should call me... if you ever finish up early, or need somewhere to go until your General picks you up. I would be happy to host you until then. Or find you someone to take you back, if your General is too busy to come for you."
Dawn was late. Or early, as some would say. Maybe his general just had too much else to do, to pick him up whenever he was done. Surely Fettelite had places to wait, or things to do... but it had to impact his un-powered life, spending so much of the night out doing this. With everything Fafnir himself was required for, he struggled to get enough sleep for it all.
"Really, you can call me any time you need something. I know I'm only a basic ranked agent, but I am willing to help, if you need it." It probably wasn't much, but he felt driven to offer it anyway. He had too much of a creeping feeling not to.

"I do. It's a whole story! Like, a really, really long story. But since they burned my house down, they've put me up in the barracks. It's not so bad! At least I'm fed every day, right?" The 'they' was implied, but clear who he was referring to.
The Negaverse burned his house to the ground, burning the bodies they left in their wake.
Fettel shook his head clear of those depressing thoughts. Tonight had been good! He should focus on that and that alone.
"That's really, really kind of you, Fafnir! If it seems like an okay night, I'll very much be happy to be with you some more! It all depends if my general has other work for me." Another thought in passing, another worried statement passed through his mouth without much worry to it. Everyone's General's were cruel, right? That's how they got stronger!
"I'm sorry, I keep repeating myself. But really, I do like you, so I hope we can see more of one another! You're very... You're so much nicer than anyone else I've met so far."

He wasn't really surprised by the insinuations that the Negaverse was harsh on it's members, but he was still new enough for it to sadden him. Still naive enough to wish things were different. But wasn't he the one who always trotted out the whole 'I'm only doing this because they're making me do it' dog and pony show with white moon troublemakers?
Fafnir smiled and shrugged one shoulder, his smile sardonic. "I'm not that nice, but I guess its a low bar."
When his ride arrived, he offered a hand to the other lieutenant. At least he could do this, right now. How much of a difference it would make in the long run, he wasn't really sure, but it was something. Something was always better than nothing at all.

"Well, maybe you aren't that nice, but... You're nice to me. and until I can see it happen some other way, I can believe that you are just naturally this nice!" A smile was a smile, and the different types there were, Fettel just wasn't good at identifying. For him, it was still warm.
When the ride arrived, and the hand offered, he thought nothing of taking it, then pulling Fafnir into a hug, squeezing him firmly, but without the natural inclination to simply squeeze with all his might. They were new friends, so that need to cling and be close to couldn't yet be given.
At least not with someone else watching, he learned that the hard way far too many times.
"I can't wait to see you again, Fafnir! Be safe out there, okay?"
