Being back in the game was hard for him. Adrian pushed a hand through his hair as he came home from a long night of patrolling and snatching a couple of starseeds from civilians. That hand slid down his face and rubbed at his nose before he flopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling fan, watching it move at a slow pace.

He was still hot despite it being October. His apartment was so quiet. Too quiet. He could hear cars pass by outside, doors shutting as people came or went, and sometimes a dog would bark. The blonde just rolled his eyes, sat up, and looked around.

Lonely.

Adrian realized he was actually quite lonely.

“God, I don't need this feeling.” He just got back into the fight and he wanted someone beside him. At least for a night, anyway. A warm person to touch and hold. The man sighed and rolled his arms light as he got up and started to unwind. “Beer.”

Yes. Beer would solve everything, wouldn't it? Maybe go to a nice bar.. Maybe he could pick someone up and take them home for the night. That required so much effort and he was a bit tired. Maybe he could go to a bar tomorrow night instead of patrolling. That'd probably be better. So for now, he wandered to his fridge and grabbed a can of beer in time for his senshi senses to start tingling.

Really? This close to me?

Pale eyes narrowed a bit and a smirk played on his lips. The signature was gone, but it was fairly interesting. That meant that a senshi lived here. He couldn't tell right now if it was Order or not, but he would probably find out soon. For a senshi to be this close, in his own apartment building…

He must have some kind of luck. He licked his lips lightly and just cracked open the beer before sipping. If only he could pinpoint the exact location instead of it just being near him. He could go over there, make friends, maybe learn a civilian identity.. if it was an Order senshi that would be icing on the cake when he delivers more starseeds, wouldn't it? Surely that'd get him some kind of recognition from the other Chaos members. Not that he needed the recognition, just some limelight would be nice now and then. After all, he worked hard for everything he had. Including his rank. He wasn't about to slip up and start getting into even more trouble.

“Have a nice night, senshi-darling… There'll be fewer of them in your future.” He murmured the words and went to go sit on his couch.

Maybe he wouldn't go to a bar after all...
