The three had made it back to Gabriel's apartment without further incident, and once they were in the living room, he flopped into the single armchair he,d picked up with some of his savings. "Couch is open," he said, gesturing to it.
Alistair sat on the couch, legs crossed and arms behind his head, content to simply sit in silence and not interrupt, this was, primarily, a conversation between Lance and Gabriel. He was here for moral support for his boyfriend.

Lance flopped down into couch besides Ali. "..So how long have you..." He a hand. "Been at this Captain thing." He asked, settling his arm behind Alistair's. Lance wasn't sure where to begin, but he figured this was better then asking 'How many people have you killed?'

Gabriel frowned. "A little over a year. Started as a Lieutenant, got promoted...hopefully will make it to General, someday." He said, leaning back in his chair. "It's been a hell of a year."
Alistair leaned over, resting his head on Lance's shoulder. It was a thoughtless gesture - he would always be more comfortable curled up with the blond than not.

"...Why? Do this, I mean. What in the world possessed you that this was the right thing to do." Sparing his boyfriend a glance, Lance wrapped his arm around around Alistair, pulling him close. "Do I even want to ask about this year?" He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "...Well I don't doubt you'd make General.. You always were quite dedicated to things you liked..."

"Because it is the right thing, Lance," Gabriel said, and there was absolute conviction in his voice. "Order is a threat to this planet, and no offense, but Senshi don't belong on Earth. The Dark Mirror gets that much, at least. This is everything I already knew. Aliens are here, and invading...they're just girls in tiny skirts instead of Greys." And then, he sighed, and seemed to shrink into the chair. "And besides, the Negaverse believes in me. My parents threw me out, but my General lights up when she sees me. General-King Zinkenite thought I was useful enough to promote me."
Alistair curled up against Lance, and finally spoke up. "I don't know. The Order people I've met seemed perfectly decent, if a little lost." He couldn't help but think of Disneya, who had complained of being drafted and not given a purpose, or Avior, who had already chosen to leave Order far behind.

"Out side of the court I know of only one Order senshi.." The blonde muttered. And to date, Lance owed her big time on two accounts. Then Lance blinked. "...Aliens.. Wait. You mean these aliens I've been listening to you talk about are those guys?" Sighing, he began rubbing his temple with his free hand. "What's the matter Gabriel, scared of a skirt?" He asked flatly. "And you should have told me about your parents sooner. I could have helped." Somehow.

"You haven't met the real crazy ones. The first Knight I fought beat me into the pavement." Gabriel said, shifting a little in his chair. "For the last year or so, yeah," he said, resting his elbow on the chair arm and leaning over to drop his head into his hand. "I'm not scared. I don't have to be." There was a faint smile on his face. "I know, you and Cait would've rushed to help me, but I have this place and I'm handling it on my own. It's fine, really."
Alistair reached up to run his fingers through Lance's hair, a calming gesture. He'd gone back to silence, unsure if he even had a place here at all. This discussion was primarily between two friends, and just because one of the two was his boyfriend....but Lance had been so furious, he wanted to at least be there as a calming presence for the blond.

"Depends if you don't find greek gods crazy..." Lance mumbled. He glanced at Ali again when the shorter man began playing with his hair. "We could have atleast helped you move stuff in."

Gabriel raised his eyebrows, but decided not to probe further. "It's fine, I wasn't taking much, anyway." He said. "No furniture or anything, just clothes, telescope, laptop, conspiracy board, starseed box." He shrugged.
Alistair's head picked up. Starseed box? That was a very, very alarming thought and one he decided not to pursue further, because he really didn't need to know how many people the tiny, unimposing man in front of him had killed.

"I know we're here to talk, but we are not talking about the last one. I don't care how much you like it." He didn't want to think of his 'little brother' running around the city killing people. "We could have found you some things. I don't know if you've noticed but this place is a little empty. Even if you are up all night. Or..." Then suddenly he grinned. "Have you just been spending all your time at Desmond's place?"

Gabriel rolled his shoulders and stood up. "You wince away from it now, but you'll have to do it yourself someday. This is a war." Then, he froze, and turned aorund slowly. "I-I haven't! Not that much time, anyway, and we're not...Lance what the hell?"
Alistair frowned. He didn't like to think of it, but yes, if Leto asked, he would kill. He made a soft frustrated noise and reached over to grab a portion of Lance's hair, which he set to braiding. "You know, darling,t hat was a bit unfair," he said, dropping his voice a little.

"You saw my attack. I don't think it kills anyone Gabriel." His grin widened only to make a choking noise when Alistair set to braiding his hair. "Is not." Lance replied flatly. "You're stuttering Gabriel. Clearly you saw this coming. You know Caitlyn's going to get on to you eventually. Assuming she hasn't already..." This was normal for them.

"Cait already knows," Gabriel replied, flopping backwards into the chair with his legs up over the armrest. "She set us up, the little s**t," he grumbled, though there was genuine affection in his tone.
Alistair just smirked, continuing with his little braiding project. It was a good thing to focus on that wasn't the conversation in front of him. "Fascinating." He said dryly, turning to kiss the side of Lance's head affectionately.

Lance snorted. "She practically flipped her lid the first time I told her about Alistair. What did you expect though? Caitlyn's a people person... The more people in her group, the better. Especially when they end up together." He smiled at Gabriel's 'annoyance'. "He seems to really like you." The blonde continued, trying to do his best at ignoring Alistair and his hair. Whiiiich backfired horribly cause the blonde turned an interesting shade of red when Ali hissed his head. "If you're bored you can go home you know."

"By the weirdest definition of people person, yes," Gabriel agreed. Most people would never expect that the girl who could barely make her voice heard in a large room would laugh and joke the loudest when she was with close friends. "I hope so, I really like him." This was a much better subject than the whole "yeah I'm a Negaverse officer and I kind of regularly kill people" thing.
Alistair glanced over, raising his eyebrows. "And miss out on this? Never. Besides, I don't feel like walking home. You don't have a full-length mirror in here, do you?" He asked Gabriel, and it was very difficult to tell if he was serious or joking.
"No, sorry, I don't exactly get Court visits a lot," Gabriel replied, shrugging. "Just the little bathroom one, and I have no clue if you guys can use that..."
