Lincoln was both honored and surprised by Will's toast to him and his promotion. The two had a long past behind them, some of it filled with friendship and rivalry, and some parts filled with anger and jealousy even. But Lincoln always knew if there is one person he could seek help from, it was Will. Although both of them were unwilling to show how much they appreciate each other, no talk was needed for them to understand one another, almost as they read each others mind. The result of a past long forgotten by some, but not by Lincoln.

He looked towards Will as he was looking at the ladies in the bar, and raised a glass to him. Will saw him and responded in the same manner, raising a glass to Lincoln. Lincoln nodded his head while looking him in the eyes, a sign of respect, "To you my friend." - He muttered into his chin assuring no one hears him.

A lot of Lincoln's friends were in the pub, celebrating his promotion. It is not every day that one manages to achieve such a rank within the Serpentis Wing, and Lincoln was proud of what he did, and how much respect he gained from his comrades in such short time. He had nothing but respect for Jonathon, Jack, Will and all others who greeted him into the Serpentis Wing, and provided him a home.

Lincoln walked towards the communication console in the corner of the bar, loud music, singing and chatter could be heard behind him because there is nothing more Xenos like more then free drinks and fighting for their people and freedom. He hailed Jonathon's office, as he wanted the man who offered him salvation to be here, and celebrate with them.

"Hey Boss, if you have the time later, I'd like for you to join us in the bar here. The boys would like to see you with us here, and "Mother's Finest" is particularly fine today!" - Lincoln laughed at his own words and left the message on Jonathon's comm console, then returned to his friends. While walking back he noticed Will hugging and kissing some great looking girl, he looked at him and made a hand gesture, almost as he was saluting him, smiled and went on his way.
