The sky a black canvas of twinkling lights cast overhead, Hierakos sighs as he slumps back against a wall. Finally, the day's long active patrol hours have come to an end, and he can relax, knowing another set of squadrons is now waiting in the wings to take over. He looks over the stony roads, small buildings and erratic rise and fall of the Sixth Circle. There has to be a bar somewhere here, right? As he pushes off the wall and heads toward the center of the Circle, a lock of familiar silver hair passing beneath a streetlamp catches his eye, and he grins and waves.. "Hey! Vice-captain! Over here!" Professional, to be sure. |

Jumping at the sound of her captain, Terra Clementine turned and immediately snapped into a salute. "Ah! Hier- I mean, Captain Hierakos, sir!" she stammered out, eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. She had just been relaxed, heading on home and being by herself ready to just settle down and read one of her novels until the late evening with a mug of tea an- Your Captain is right there! "I-is something wrong? Did you need me for anything?!" |

"Whoa, relax. Nothing's wrong." As Hierakos catches up to her, he grins and offers a wink. "Just was wondering if you'd be up for a drink to unwind here? Just to shoot the shit for a while here. On me." |

Looking at the floor at her Captain's wink, Terra shuffled about a bit. Just for a drink? The two of them alone? Well, she was...sort of flattered but the history of the Captain spoke for itself an- S'just a drink with a colleague!... You can do this! "Uhm....sure! If you're paying, I guess." She tried to joke back with a nervous giggle. |

"Alright, sweet. I know a place..." Hierakos quickly does another scan and, luckily for him, does spot a bar not too far from where they stand. "Just around the corner here. Let's go." --- The bar, again luckily for Hierakos, turns out to be somewhat nicer than most he visits. More lighting. Less mess. Perfect. As he takes a seat, he swivels about to smile at Terra, trying to encourage the shy girl a bit. |

Well, this didn't seem so bad. At least the floor wasn't sticky. And there didn't seem to be any fighting going on. And no one was missing a tooth yet. Or an eye. As Hierakos smiled at her, she gave an awkward grin back before facing the table, not sure what they should start with. How DID you do these things with your superior? Heck, she wasn't even doing this with her subordinates! "S-so, uh..." C'mon, get it together, girl! "What's the occasion, captain?" There we go, you got a question out first. There were a few whispers here and there, but one word that Terra DEFINITELY heard was 'Clementine.' She shrank a little in her seat at that, lightly touching her face, making sure her illusion was still up by checking her reflection in a nearby pint glass. |

Hierakos shrugs, although he turns a sharp glance back at the crowd. Dammit, he'd hoped that no one would recognize her out here. Probably will make it harder for her to just unwind. "No occasion, really. Well, besides the weekend coming up. Just thought I'd check up on you here. Been a while since we got to just chat, you know?" After waving the bartender over, he turns to Terra with a smile--less confident and dashing, more friendly and concerned. "So. Work treating you well?" |

"We...don't get a lot of time to just talk, that's true..." Terra conceded, looking into her lap. "But that should just show how busy it is." His question did get her thinking a little though. "As...well as it can be. Work is work...I'm happy to be a part of everything and Papa is too. He said as much..." Seeing the barman, Terra perked up a little bit. She could get her drink now. "Fruit juice, please!" |

As a fair few eyes turn toward Terra at her odd choice of beverage, Hierakos gives each one a glare--'back off'. With that, he turns to the bartender and smiles. "Surprise me. But nothing too strong, alright? Got work in the morning." "Yeah? That's good, at least." Hierakos sits back, fighting the urge to kick his feet up on the bar counter. He chuckles a bit. "Wouldn't want Papa Clementine on my ass here." |

"Oh, don't be like that. Papa is a sweetheart if you're on his good side, you know..." Terra replied, defending her father's temper. "It...just seems that lately, quite a few people are on his bad side...maybe even his worst side... especially that one gentleman who wanted to ask me about my trunk...which I thought was strange seeing as I don't have a vehicle yet...or luggage." |
