Looking up from the camera he was tinkering with, only to see Sage looking much worse for wear. For a healer, she does seem to put her own needs last.
"Sage...? What happened? Do you need me to get Skye?"
//cunning and perceptive, curious about the secrets of people who work with him
At the same time, he's terrified of his own past putting people he cares about and himself in danger, so he tries in vain to stay emotionally distant
younger agents like they were his own children, wanting to protect them at all costs.
Yes, it made him vulnerable and slightly terrified of what the future held, especially in this line of work.
But with Omen by his side, he felt like he could do anything.
Yes. He could get used to this. Feeling a bit bolder, Cypher moves to rest his head on Omen's shoulder.
After losing his family, he swore to himself that he would never get close to anyone. But the agents at the protocol...he couldn't help it. He cared about the +
Cypher nods, glad that Omen understands but is still respectful enough not to pry further.
He's a bit surprised when Omen takes the lead, gently taking his hand. He smiles under his mask, giving Omen's hand a gentle squeeze. "Thank you for listening. I...I'm grateful you're +
Omen's. It feels warm and familiar. He thought he'd never feel something like this again.
"Usually, I'd be working around this time. Feels nice to do something else for a change."
He's not sure why he was nervous to admit it directly. They did already agree to start dating, after all. Maybe part of him was still afraid that it wasn't real, that the mere mention would make everything fade away like a dream.
Cypher looks down at his hand entwined around +
“ or so , I’m not sure at the moment . “
Seeing the other flush up , he was right on what he said .
“ I’m okay with it . You could’ve just said originally . “ taking cyphers hand , holding gently .
Cypher hesitates for a moment. He can't hide anything from Omen, can he?
But still...letting anyone else know his secrets is dangerous.
He still has to say something, though.
"They...remind me of someone I knew. I don't really know if there's an afterlife+
If he could smile he would at hearing the fact cypher has the same favorite as him .
Soon noticing his falter in stature .
“ something wrong ? “ he wasn’t going to pry past this but he was worried .
Strange. He could sense the hostile energy from the other agent, so it's best to give him some space now.
Maybe he can ask about it later when Omen has calmed down.
"Eleven?"
Mm, this could be a good idea after all.
Ah. Caught in the act. Cypher suddenly flushes at how Omen was so easily able to discover his intentions.
"Uh...it could be. I-if you want to, that is!
I like...spending time with you, Omen."
He shyly reaches for Omen's hand.
“ I think like 11 , there might be one coming out soon . “
“ is this a way to spend more time with me ? “ he’s not opposed , he’d love to spend any amount of time with him . Even if in silence while watching a movie .
But then the moment passes, and he's back to his cheerful self.
"Constellations are so interesting! Humans really can see patterns in anything.
...I'm glad that you like them as much as I do."
Cypher smiles under his mask.
"That one's also my favorite! And Ursa Minor.
The little bear and its mother, always together. The guiding north star that's always visible..."
It seems to remind him of something, and for the briefest of moments, Cypher looks a bit sad.+
Not surprised that cypher could read one’s physical tone to their emotions .
The sky looks amazing tonight , even better with cypher around him .
“ Ursa Major , what about you ? “
Face scanning over to look at cypher when asking .
"There's more than one?" An idea forms in his mind.
"I suppose we'll need to sit and watch every one together, then." A series of dates, even. This could be fun.
