It was one of those rare instances Before was actually in a place of his choosing and not just some convenient place to hide or because of a mission briefing or some such. The brunette was in serious need of some uplifting moments. So here he was in the mess hall, cafeteria, eating place, whatever you called it happily digging into a serving of eggs over easy (it was the only thing easy in this place and even that was a little hard boiled). It felt like a shame to be eating on his own but that was the way things happened sometimes. Conflicting schedules, trainees training, running courses, going on their own missions, doing chores, Before was surprised he hadn't run into anyone given their confinement.
Or was the probation period over? He wasn't sure. As he pondered on this, he looked up and chanced to see "Hey! Leon!" he called out, waving to his fellow Lifer.

Day in day out, living with another voice, another entity inside your own head was frustrating.
There was never any privacy, no alone time and a extra opinion on EVERYTHING.
And sometimes there were bets. Like a bet that The boxer had no chance of seeing under Dr. H's hood courtesy of one bored dragon hissed voice. After 24 hours and three botched attempts, Leon could not prove otherwise. He had lost to a mere voice in his head and now he had to pay up.
"Can I please get a stack of pancakes with maple syrup with butter and a pile of breakfast sausage?"
The cafeteria lady just smiled at him with a kind of knowing look in her glassy eyes held up a plate. "Cookies?" However after taking a glance, the plate was exactly what he was asked for. And somewhere inside the depth of grey matter and the neural receptors he could almost feel the former Fear creature smiling.
The most horrible breakfast that he could think of. it left the boxer trudging over to a empty chair in the cafe with the deepest frown. "This is disgusting Nid. Absolutely horrid." he grumbled out as he poked at the edge and took the tiniest slice of the stack and ate it like poison.
<There, happy now?> -only when you shove it all in your mouth and down your gullet-
"BEFORE GLAD TO SEE YA! Come come sit here let me clear the table!"
-Nooooooooooooooooooooo- (crash) Just like that, Leon wasted no time throwing the food away into the trash and picking up a much healthier choice in apple form. "So, what have been up to bro?"

There was a look of complete and utter horror plastered on Before's face. No, it wasn't because Leon acknowledged him or invited him over. It was... well, "Duuuuuuuude, your food! Did you knock them off by accident? Lemme buy you a new one!" :<<<<< Before was completely unaware of his fellow Lifer being a boxer and thus his preference for healthier food options.
Such generosity, that looked like quite a feast. Are you certain you wish to pay for him? Vanna sounded reluctant about the idea of her partner spending for someone other than himself.
I got this, Vanna, poor Leon having to just settle for an apple... ;;

Take the offer Leon
"No no there's no need before, really!" Leon cried of sheepishly as waved the matter away like it was nothing. "An apple a day keeps Dr H. away." he said in a sing song voice and rubbed the apple on his shirt. "Well, at least until he calls upon you for an errand that is." he said after a few moments of thought and took another bite.
TAKE THE JACKING OFFER!
The training in ignoring the dragon voice continued as Leon propped his foot up on a nearby empty chair and took another look at his new company. "So, what has the good doctor done to you lately?" He couldn't recall seeing the happy go lucky life hunter around while he did his own tasks, catching up and seeing what the others were doing was always a good idea. Especially when it came to plucky Before.

Before gave Leon a quizzical look, "You suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure? Those looked like awesome pancakes..." :< Maybe next time he'll have some himself! As long as he stayed away from the cookies he should be fine... "Surprisingly enough, he hasn't done anything to me. Apart from that time we ended up having a duet and singing about Rudolph," he scratched his cheek with one finger in thought, pursing his lips as he tried to recall some more. "Oh! And then there was that staring-all-creeper-like at the horsewoman Death." But that had been a group thing, did Leon perhaps mean to ask about Before's personal experiences? @ 3@a
"How about you? Did he get you as his guinea pig lately?" It was only fair to ask as he settled down on the seat across Leon so he could finish his eggs.

and Leon in turn, gave before a deadpanned face. 8|
"I can live without the pancakes Before." -well I CAN'T- The pancakes could rot in the garbage for all he cared, damn carbs and empty calories. They could all blow him.
What? there was no way he heard that correctly as he leaned in and twisted his head to hear better. "Did you just say that you two had a duet?" impossible, with Mr YAY LIFE?. "Was it for science?" he asked after a moment of soaking it in and stealing a morsel of Before's eggs. "All i get is to test out his new Golems, he wants he to set up a mission for everyone to test them and stuff."
He never got to sing with the good doctor however. the boxer wasn't sure why it made him sad.

Before nodded, "Errr, yeah... I actually went to talk to Clarice about the um pendants. Stuff got kinda stressful for me," he explained, "And then she went and left me cookies and milk in the meantime. And THEY WERE AWESOME OMIGAW~" X3333!!!! he declared enthusiastically. "And then Dr. H came and had some as well and then I noticed he has a real good set of pipes and asked if he didn't mind a duet."
Looking back at it, Before should have realized it was too good to be true. "Oooh new golems? Do you finally get to pick your sex? I keep getting stuck in that tiny 2-foot-tall female imp..." 8CCCCC

Leon just watched before as he bit into the apple and almost choked on the soft flesh of it. "Say what?" he choked out frm the mislodged material in his windpipe and party due to the laugh that threatened to bubble up. "Are you for real Before?" he never would have expected to hear that Clarice and Dr H had parental sides.
Like a mother and father to little Before. And Leon had to joke with him as he went to pinch the shorter man's cheek. "Aw they just love their little baby boy." he cooed out before taking another bite.
The other question was more work related as he waved his arms at the new task that needed a lot more time to think about. "The golems are still experimental so for right now, I think they are very bland and still random, I've yet to put one on." Somehow Dr. H's new golem didn't seem like they were capable of singing duets. "I just think i need to spar some more in the training golems before using them."
Did he ever get the short stick in that draw.

"Funny enough, Dr. H said he'd put me up for adoption if that were ever the case..." Before deadpanned. Well, as much as anyone having their cheek pinched could. And yes, that was all true. Before, however, was not aware that someone else left him the cookies. He had just assumed it was Clarice because who else knew he was there? :/
He moved to pry Leon's hand from his cheek, teal eyes tapering into slits as he winced. "I thought we couldn't spar in those golems? That's why we could only use those crappy guns..." he muttered.

o.O;;
"Well.... best act like the good son in that case." Leon said awkwardly at the whole sudden Hunter family that seemed to sprout up. Milk and cookies and singing, yep.
Dr H and Clarice need to get laid.
He didn't stop smirking when the shorter life hunter pushed his hand away and tucked it back into his pocket and the other tossed the apple core away, its job was fulfilled. "Well, maybe that's why he's testing these new ones." Leon offered as a explanation and propped his feet up on the table with a thump. "Maybe he's trying to explore a way to help us fight in those golems instead of only capturing." it would explain why he was testing them out.
However, Dr H. was nuts and may have planted them all with dynamite. "Or maybe he was bored, who knows?"

Before gave Leon a glare then promptly finished eating his eggs. "Dr. H said Clarice was his daughter and wanted her legs wrapped around something. If there was innuendo in it at the time, I think I was on too much JOY to react properly." he muttered. "A bored Dr. H scares the ******** out of me. I don't know who's worse, him or Mr. I-hate-Life-Caelius." The shorter trainee made a grimace then tilted his head in thought as if he had an idea occur to him just that moment. "What do you do when you're bored?"

......
"Moving on." Leon decided to cut off that train of though of his perverted doctor and his PHD fantasies.
He had to wonder if Dr H had a PHD in ANYTHING. Credentials, he wanted to see them.
"I'd have to say Caelius, even when he's bored or not, that guy's always the same." the boxer told Before instantly, there was no question or hesitation to the answer. Shame on the life hunter to even ask it and he made sure the boy knew it with the frown and glare of disapproval.
"Well, I work out, or spar with the dummies." Like Robert. but that went without saying. "How bout' you?"

Before raised both hands as if to shield his face, "Man, killer glare-beam you got there!" he eeshed, "Didn't mean anything by it. Like, iunno, it just came up or something." :<<<<< With the question posed back at him, Before realized he wasn't sure, "Pre-traineefication or post? Because if it's pre, usually on the net or homework for classes and uh, buying peeps a round or two of coffee. Post... um... it's all a blur?" he shrugged, "But I have been unintentionally spending lotsa time in the Gym lately... 'cuz I got issues I need to work out..."

"Pre-traineefication?" Leon asked back dumbly. Was the boy making up some kind of phrase to make him look bad? There wasn't even time to focus on the dreaded coffee word as the boxer's eyes began to glaze over from the strange things Before was prattling on about. "What do you mean?"
The talk of gym was a much more relate able situation that caught the brunettes attention and piqued his interest. "is that so?" he asked skeptically "Well if you want to get some practice, I won't mind sparring with you" he offered to the life hunter with a friendly headlock. "You feel up to it or what, life squad member?"

Before would have given Leon a stare that was half Dude, R U SRS? and half Oh you~. Except with an arm around his neck it was hard to do effectively. "Gah! Like I have a choice? Fine, fine!" xAx
((rolling for initiative))
