Bix had heard from Stormy about shadowing him for some Sun Division duties. He didn't know what to show her since most of their duties were directly related to battle, but he scheduled to meet her on the training fields with the intention of showing her some of his ranged training exercises and his notebook of battle strategies.

The pale man waited, idly firing arrows into the training dummies to pass the time.

When she appeared, Stormy looked battle ready. her hair had started to grow out, which allowed her to tie it back, and while it was still chilly outside she only had a light coat on top of her gym wear. She approached Bix with purpose, though on the inside she squirmed with a little bit of nerves.

"Hiii~" she called as she jogged over. "Thanks for letting me take some of your time, sir! Nothing's a better excuse to catch up and stuff, right?"

Got to start this casually, very casually.

"Heeey I got nothing but time." Bix smiled as Stormy finally joined him. He lowered his bow to walk over to her, also where his belongings were settled in the grass (including his notebook of strategy and exercises).

"How's things? And how can I help you?" He wiggled his brows. "Treating my bro well, right?"

Stormy opened her mouth, felt her cheeks coloring, and quickly moved to a different topic.

"Best that I can," she answered quickly, slowing to a stop as they met up. "Sortakindawantedtotalkaboutthatbutthatslater how are you?" She put up a big smile to try and distract Bix. "Really good day for training, right? I know it's weird, asking someone with a bow when I've got a sword, but I need to pick up on my Sun stuff, and you're a really cool person, and I wanted to hang, and we can totally think of something!"

Super casual.

"Everyday is good for training.." He puffed his chest out importantly and gave her a grin. "You never know what sort of conditions we'll have to fight in! Always be prepared.. like the boyscouts.. or CONSTANT VIGILANCE.. like Mad-Eye Moody." Bix actually desummoned his bow because Stormy running her words together would never get him to ignore what could possibly be juicy gossip.

"But.. ohohoho.." He threw himself into the grass. "Gimme the dish first. And I will reward you with ummm.. SUN STUFF."

He was like a gossipy woman, okay.

There was a reason she got along with Bix and that was because, if confronted with the same situation, she would have reacted similarly. This was not working to her advantage right now, though. "Constant. Vigilance," Stormy repeated back with a little laugh, though her hands were kept close to her body out of unconscious nerves. "Okay, um . . ."

Alright, just because he called her out on it didn't mean it still couldn't be super casual, right?

She didn't join Bix on the grass just yet, feeling that if she did she'd probably just end up rolling around instead of talking. "Well, um, it's a weird segue but . . . How'd you and Ceres meet? I've always wondered."

"Oh.." Bix blinked, not expecting a question about he and Ceres. "Well just sort of around the island. I think I was reading comics and she's into comics too so we got to talking and then became really good friends." He smiled. "And then one day I was like uhhhhh duuuuuh you totally like this chick."

Bix scratched his head. "I was scared of messing it up, the friend thing, cause I usually fail so bad with girls but..." Well by the time he'd told her, he and she had soon after 'died' together. It was a further bonding experience in a way.

Comics. B'awwwwww~ She might have started gently sparkling in the sunlight. "I can't imagine you failing, Mr. Bix: nerd charm is very cute!" Stormy stated as a matter of factly. "Plus, I mean, you have the tenth doctor's coat and pull it off really well." That was clearly a good sign for date material, yes. Gale had said about as much as far as not messing it up, which made her smile to herself.

"If you don't mind me asking, how long were you guys friends before you asked her out? And how long've you been dating?"

"Not really sure.." Bix turned a bit pink not knowing the exact details of his relationship. "We were friends a while though. Long enough that I was unsure about telling her I liked her cause I was afraid of ruining it."

And then it dawned on him. "We've been together over a year now. Crap." Both of them were bad with anniversaries apparently.

"Why the questions?" Was there problems in weather paradise? HE WAS CONCERNED.

Cooing, she clapped her hands and smiled. "Happy anniversary!" Stormy congratulated. "A year's a long time here, huh. Go Team Eclipse!"

(Which would have to do for now until she figured out an actual ship name.)

"Sorry these questions are a little personal..." Stormy hesitated, then gently nudged Bix with a foot. "Everything's fine before you ask, I was just...curious. We've been dating for a while and I wanted to compare some things." There was still one major question she wanted to ask, but now she was having second thoughts; the entire investigation was sort of silly to begin with.

"We should probably look like we're working," she mumbled self-consciously.

"Not super personal." Bix sat up straighter and at the foot nudge looked almost scandalized. "We are CLEARLY working.. way hard." He waved his arms around like he was showing her things and then eventually flipped open his notebook on the grass. It was full of formations, for the most part for ranged fighters (represented by little arrow/bow symbols). It kind of looked like a football playbook with dotted lines, solid lines, and arching arrows all over the place.

"I like to live my life like this book." He paused, "Full of weird symbolism and lines... hahaha no I'm kidding. I meant OPEN." The archer gave her a playful and light push with his hand. "So come on.. out with it."

She chuckled, but it was clear she was still unsure about proceeding. "Only thing that'd classify me as ranged would be if I threw my sword or something...Maybe you could practice shots on me? I've got a really mean defense!" Bix looked organized at any rate. But it was either distract or divulge, and she doubted the former was possible now.

"Okayyyy." Sighing, Storm plopped down next to him. Maybe there was a not awkward way to go about this. "Um...In the year you've known and dated Miss Ceres, have things...progressed?"

(Trick question: there was no way to ask this in a not awkward way.)

"Progressed?" Bix lifted his brows. "Like..." he made curvy-lady-body motions with his hands and then leaned in, cheeks pinkish, "oh my god is this a sex talk are you guys having sex?!"

He then regrouped. "Not that there's anything wrong with that!! It's natural and nice and..." uhhhhh he somehow suddenly doubted this was a sex talk. "....this isn't a sex talk is it?" Bix muttered slowly.

Stormy stared at Bix. Stared into forever.

At some point in time she snapped to and began a stream of "NO NO NO's" in a panicked tone that lasted almost as long as the time she took to stare. This was accompanied by various hand motions and an increasingly pink face. "N-Not that it hasn't come up," was also slipped somewhere in there followed by more emphatic no's.

When she was out of breath, she probably could have made an apple look bland in comparison. Stormy hid behind her hands, embarrassed. "I-I dunno what talk this is," she mumbled. "I'm sorry I'm bugging you, I just...I wanted a point of reference I guess?"

It had come up? Good job Gale. ;D ;D

"You aren't bugging me!" Bix waved his hands defensively. "I'm glad I don't have to do a sex talk is all haha.. cause.. you know.. everyone being grownups." For the most part. With Clarice not here anymore to play sex-ed-school-nurse, Bix didn't want to have to fill those shoes.

"I guess you just wanna know how intense and how fast we went?" Maybe? "Like.. emotionally? or ?" Bix's mouth twisted around as he thought. "Well she just moved in recently. Well mostly. I mean she's kept her own dorm this whole time because ya know, independent woman she don't need no man!" His head bobbled and he put on a sassy lady voice. "But she's always in my place anyway, and it's bigger, so I think finally she's acknowledged it." Bix smiled.

"I just like being with her to be honest. I think some of the people around here get too crazy and intense with their relationships. Like getting married?" He grimaced. "Why? What's the point really? Legally it makes no difference here. No insurance benefit. We can't have kids. The prospective of a house with a picket fence is sort of corrupted by the idea it could be smashed by a monster any minute."

Bix took a breath and frowned. "Living here, the way this place is, it could never be like that dream we had." He gave her a knowing look. "You know what I mean. We can't have families and build a meaningful community. Our connections are tight but brief." Their lives the same, burn bright and burn out fast. "So Ceres and I don't put more pressure on each other than we need to. We love each other's company, we are best friends, and we find each other super hot." He laughed and blushed a bit, "Well I think she's super hot. And we still totally fight about work stuff and jumping in front of bullets for people... but that's normal relationship crap." For hunters anyway, "That's all we need right? What else is there?"
