Walking into the bar once again, Scarlet looks tired and drawn for once, slumping into the seat without embarassment now she's known to the barman, where she sits and rubs her temples.
[22:29:00 | Edited 22:29:52] Corey (Gheis): Just because I'm an admin doesn't mean I can't appreciate an attractive woman.
The doors are opening up and a man in a jacket gets through. It is the Order agent Johan Lennox who is looking around, trying to find somebody. As he looks over the tables he can notice Scarlet is sitting at one of them. He walks at first to the counter, ordering something. As the bartender finishes there are two cups in his hands to see as he turns around, starting to walk towards the table where Scarlet sits.
Arrived at the table, Lennox sits down slowly, smiling at her and placing one cup infront of her.
"It is nice to see you again. To be honest I missed you a bit. Nobody to talk...and so on..."
He tilts his head to the right and to the left a bit like he wouldn't agree completely.
"Well...yes. Sometimes, indeed. Mostly during my duty. But...heh. Privacy...I use it for meditating and other stuff...it may sound odd but I need to do it....and how about you? I guess you have a lot of paperwork and so on to do?"
Johan returns the smile. For him, meditation is always important to control his thoughts and hist mind. But he is also used to encounter -opinions- from others, that might not sound very nice. However Lennox expected a different reaction of her, like the others before him. As she just smiles at him, he nods, like thanking for something. He sits there, relatively relaxed due to her presence somehow, looking into her eyes.
"I guess if not, you wouldn't be here now....how was your travel? You told me in space Liberty got more dangerous..."
"We've been... Questioned a few times so far. Most recently by a Security Force cruiser and attendant gunboats. If it had come down to it we could have handled them, however a Secondary Fleet Dreadnaught decided to butt in, ofcourse without bothing to check the matter began to demand answers. We where somewhat lucky the Captain was inexperienced or inbecilic, seeing how my Helmsman managed to lose his ship in the Alaskan Asteroids, in one of the least manouverable Warships Liberty produces"
Scarlet smiles wryly, returning his gaze for a few moments before blinking and looking away towards the bar.
[22:29:00 | Edited 22:29:52] Corey (Gheis): Just because I'm an admin doesn't mean I can't appreciate an attractive woman.
Lennox' glance turns into a more serious expression, also his voice sounds more serious.
"Alaska is very dangerous, yeah. Not only the Navy and the LSF you probably know. I have seen Marduks around the jumphole to Omicron Minor. I am glad to hear you didn't encounter some of these vessels. At least you made it here alive, even if a bit tired..."
His last words sounded less serious. Johan looks down on his cup briefly and begin to lift it towards her, smiling.
"A toast for you then. For your ability to manage such situations and keeping..eh well....'cool'? Oh....and of course to your crew..."
He chuckles quietly and looks back into her eyes while lifting the cup.
He sighs and takes a sip, too. Actually Johan never commanded a bigger ship yet. He was just a visitor on the Eclipse of Sombrero sometimes. Knowing he doesn't know exactly how it feels for her, he just smiles, speaking a bit lower than before.
"Mhm...your crew must be very brave. To be honest...I never had the pleasure to command a big vessel like the Pride or something else...an Osiris or so. Anyway....it seems like you really could need some rest...how much time do you have to stay here?"
