"Right. See you tomorrow." Where were his gloves? He'd left them on the table, hadn't he? He had, but they weren't there--
There was squishy lump in one of his pockets. Zero needed to stop doing stuff like that. But okay. Gloves found, and put back on. Phew.
Dirty and Bubbles stood, and they parted ways with the other two near the bar, looking for more drinks and friendly faces. Well, friendly parts of some nature or another.
Outside the sun had set behind the mountain, but it still lit up the clouds in dusky pink and gold. There was more traffic headed to and from the base now, those leaving work or headed in towards their quarters. Most nights while still on duty, the Aiwhas would head there too. But they had an apartment in the foothills beneath the mountain, a conveniently short walk from both the base and the center of town.
Now that he was out here, leaving alone with Poe, there was a little electric feeling of tension dancing through him. Mostly just excited nerves. "The apartment's less than ten minutes from here." Which was good, because otherwise he'd probably have to think of more stuff to say.
