⠀' well , you came lookin' for me , ' he says
⠀after a moment , glancing over at her with
⠀a slight smirk upon his lips .

⠀' other than that , i'm pretty sure you'd
⠀never come 'round here unless you had a
⠀damn good reason . so , was that it ? me ? '

[Cassie Cage @SnarkCommander]

He'd be surprised how easily Cassie could be entertained when in the right company.

"I dunno. This is your turf, Erron, and you keep saying I'm an open book, don't cha?" A devilish grin crossed the Commander's lips. "So surprise me. Go on. Read my mind. What am I looking for?"

⠀mind ? ' he asks , looking over at her as
⠀he hooks his thumbs upon his belt loops .
⠀

[𝘽𝙇𝘼𝘾𝙆 . @mortebitglande]

⠀
⠀considering he was pretty certain she was
⠀not very easily entertained , that was a bit
⠀of a tall order , and it amuses him .

⠀' there's always entertainment . just gotta
⠀know where to look , and it depends on
⠀what you're lookin' for . got anything in

< in this godforsaken town." Cassie stretched her upper body like a feline and rolled her shoulders before looping an arm around his to lean against him.

[𝘽𝙇𝘼𝘾𝙆 . @mortebitglande]

⠀
⠀it was safe to say he had already ditched
⠀them in his mind . who was to say she even
⠀had a report to make , or if it was a ploy to
⠀see if he would jump at the opportunity .

⠀and he would . of course he would .

⠀' lead the way , commander , ' he says in

[Cassie Cage @SnarkCommander]

"Maybe not the report per se, but if they call me back to base immediately, I can't ignore the order."

She gazed down at him over her nose and smirked. "You wanna risk it and finish your game, or ditch these losers and join me? Clock's ticking, Black."

⠀' can't imagine that's gonna take long . '

⠀he saw them too . ignored them too .

��frankly , he was often like a stray dog . so
⠀used to being on his own that it was easy
⠀to forget that he wasn't . not anymore .
⠀he was sure it must get exhausting to be
⠀reminding him time and time again , but
⠀as far as he could tell , she didn't mind .

< A lazy smile curled the blonde's lips as she regarded him through half-lidded eyes. Frankly, sometimes she wished he'd make up lame excuses like this to come and see her too, at least once in a blue moon.

She gave his chest several pats. "Can't stay for long, though. >

[𝘽𝙇𝘼𝘾𝙆 . @mortebitglande]

⠀
⠀she pulls away and he knows it's only to
⠀frustrate him but it works anyway , and
⠀his eyes open as he briefly licks his lips .

⠀' yeah ? ' he inquires with somewhat
⠀feigned interest , gaze flickering over her
⠀features but ultimately upon her lips .

[𝘽𝙇𝘼𝘾𝙆 . @mortebitglande]

⠀' am now , ' he replies , an arm looping
⠀around her waist to keep her steady as
⠀his head tilts , other arm draped across
⠀her knees . the game seemingly went on
⠀without him , and he didn't seem to care .

[Cassie Cage @SnarkCommander]

In all honesty, he wasn't hard to track down, notorious as he was around these parts.

His poker buddies didn't seem to appreciate the interruption, but they recognized Cassie and knew better than to mess with her. She brought her arms to coil around his neck. "Having fun?"

[𝘽𝙇𝘼𝘾𝙆 . @mortebitglande]

⠀
⠀should've known she would find him at
⠀some point , and do it in a fashion that
⠀he couldn't possibly ignore .

⠀not that he wanted to . because the
⠀moment he realized who had taken up
⠀residence , the game was forgotten .

⠀' howdy , ' he says with a tiny simper .
⠀

[Cassie Cage @SnarkCommander]

Missing a certain country boy @mortebitglande , she decided to search for him in the usual places he frequented after being done with a boring escort mission in Outworld.

" Howdy, cowboy," she greeted him after crashing his poker game, dropping onto his lap with a grin.

⠀he pauses, turns back to her briefly.

⠀' try not gettin' blown up this time. '

⠀a mischievous glint in his eye before
⠀he turns away to continue on.

[𝘽𝙇𝘼𝘾𝙆 . @mortebitglande]

@SnarkCommander ⠀
⠀in response to her question.

⠀' only scheme that makes sense, all
⠀things considered, ' he says, and after
⠀a moment, shifts his feet as if to go
⠀get into a more appropriate position,
⠀closer to the inhabited room.

⠀think, but he missed that. he missed
⠀this. they made a good team, nobody
⠀could deny that by now. not even them.

⠀' we get one of them first, then we find
