An ace, a Gundam, and a promise....
[1]
[If you are walking by the hangar you will see something quite unusual. Graham is standing in front of the (now repaired) Astraea, he is looking expectantly at what appears to be a crew of about 7 mechanics scrambling over the Gundam, with a computer tablet in his hand. But wait a moment, those aren't Chalice mechanics! On closer inspection their uniforms are a shade of indigo, with a logo of an open eye with the word "IRIS" in the center, emblazoned on the back. Graham yells something you can hear.]
"Now I want the whole frame to be better weight relieved as well as the armor! Almost got my ass shot off twice I don't want to miss a dodge because I'm hauling unnecessary weight in this things posterior! Also be careful with that new tech! These are the only prototypes we've got, I want a full diagnostic of this suit sent to the R&D labs that way we can make sure it fits my requirements!"
[You see two quite enormous crates being hauled in by crane, these as well have the IRIS logo emblazoned upon them]
[2] [Locked to Adette Kistler]
[If Adette goes into her room she will see an envelope on her bed. Inside is a restaurant Napkin neatly folded (fancy looking too) when turned over written in Grahams neat military handwriting are the words: "7:00, Table 26, open the napkin for another surprise." When opened, out of the napkin fall two tickets to a private box at a fancy jazz club. In between the tickets is one last note: "I never forget a promise."]

"Isn't it though After all those long years of informational isolation, the Chalice was like a carnival to me when I first got here. We didn't know there was a soul alive outside Siberia, imagine my surprise when I was just a stole away on the ship and it took off for space." For a moment she thought of that day, and the man she had met that night, his blond hair and powerful demeanor not so unlike Graham's. "I do agree it's quite strange. None of us can seem to break away from it's spell. My fight is almost over, and still I can't bring myself to even think about leaving that Chalice."
Graham would find his lovely date was not quite as good at this as he was. She had danced before, but these steps where unknown to her. She clung to his shoulder for dear life, letting him lead so she could clumsily follow. She smiled and laughed but didn't complain or try to stop. His touch was warm, the strength of his hand in hers was comforting after everything that had happened this week. The stars twinkling over head peeking out from between folds of thick ebony velvet set the tone just right.

[He caught himself smiling again....]
"Who knows what else we may encounter... but think, whatever it is; be it inspectors or anything else, we can handle it."
[Graham looked down at her and he realizes he cant keep his eyes off her, slowly as the music winds down he holds her closer...]

"I've learned since coming to the Chalice, you can't even fathom what's coming next, so stop trying, but be ready. When we all put our mechs and heads and hearts together, there doesn't seem to be much we can't do." Including this dance, which she was rather getting the hang of. She noticed the way he was looking at her, and it made her flutter a little, even against the still fresh wounds Micheal had left in his sudden egress. How long was it appropriate to wait after such a thing?
Who cares, I'm a grown damn woman, and I'll do as I please.
"And every departure of friends, bring us so many new faces and hands to join the fight. I love that about this place. Everything is always changing." Her dress fluttered perfectly around her pale knees as they danced, Adette looking every bit the part.
"You shouldn't look at me like that you know." She smiled and leaned her forehead in a little, "I'm nothing but trouble, ya know."
no subject
"It's funny this place you, me it's almost like it was... Back then, hell, even the Chalice is like finding my old self again."
[Once again he looks down at her, you don't even notice that you've stopped dancing...]
Adette, I... Don't want to impose...anything...

She smirked, with a little sound of amusement. She could not wait to tell Resnick all about this, the poor fool would die of laughter when she retold this tale.
"It is." Although their feet had stopped, Adette knew the dance he was getting at now.
"Oh?" she lifted an eye brow carefully. "But you do." She all but dared him with that playfully charming grin.

"I think you misunderstood i was going to offer to drive you home instead of calling a cab. But what you said works too."
[ He gives you a roguish wink, still laughing]
no subject
Oh aren't you just adorable?
Adette grinned, partially she was just to amused not to.
"Aren't we both going back to the ship?" She made a little motion in the general direction, a bit confused.
