Late Gundam to the party. Blame his landing trajectory

[tad_overkill]

Trowa Barton had thought about covertly joining the Chalice crew, but  at the last moment thought better of it.  He was within range before he made the call keeping the line secure.

His mission after all would be carried out easier if he managed to get aboard.  "White Chalice, this is the Gundam Heavy Arms requesting to come aboard."


Later the tall lanky pilot could be found wondering the halls of the ship, it wasn't that different from some of the places he'd been, and for now the Gundam was stored away, he could figure out how to carry out his orders, and maybe check on the other two pilots that had come to earth in the operation.

Trowa smiled a little at the smaller blond with his greeting. He could play nice if he wanted to, and these people were able to help him with his mission so there was no need to be rude.

"Hi." Oh, man of many words here.

He smiled and drew closer to the stranger, stopping a polite distance away before speaking.

"Do you need help finding anything? I might be able to help."

Trowa was glad he stayed back a little.

"Actually, I'm trying to find the first officer. Got turned around in the hangar." The kid didn't seem like a threat at least.

"This place is a little confusing at first. I only arrived a couple of days ago myself, and I'm still getting lost!"

If the polite manner of speaking wasn't enough, the admission of his own confusion should have proved that he was by no means a threat.

couldn't help it with the icon XD

"It is bigger than I expected. Only been aboard two hours. Though I'd appreciate it."

fffft

"Do you want to see if we both can find him then? Having two sets of eyes around is easier...and, I'm looking for something anyway."

Re: fffft

[tad_overkill]

"Works, what are you looking for?"

[hashtag_winner]

"It's not something that will help on the battlefield, if that's what you mean. But, I think it could be fun to have around here in our off hours if there is one."

He looked away at this, as if a little embarrassed, before continuing. "Honestly? It's a piano. I like to play sometimes."

[tad_overkill]

At that Trowa laughed. It wasn't cruel, just one of those amused chuckles. "If we find one and have enough down time, it would be worth it. I play the flute, but Piano shouldn't be that much harder." He can read music, and once he knows the keys should be a piece of cake, just like handless cartwheels on the tight rope.

"Really?" His smile brightened at the mention of it. Quatre hadn't dared to dream of finding other musicians onboard the Chalice, but finding two others on board helped him feel less awkward about it.

The little commonalities between the people onboard were what made life on the ship more comfortable.

"I prefer the violin myself, but I didn't think it would be wise to bring one with me. Maybe we can find one, and a flute, if we stop somewhere someday. But, for now? I heard that there might be a piano on board and I plan to find it."

[tad_overkill]

"Helps to focus when you can think a fight out in musical terms actually. Think of it as a tango." Hey it was his justification for it okay?

"If not on the ship, maybe at a port. Violins are common for Navy though." He chuckled. "I'll help search until I find the person I'm supposed to meet with. Then if when I'm done, and you haven't found it we'll continue how's that?"

"I find that it helps me calm down and think. There's something very honest about music." It was part of why he would always cherish it.

He laughed a little himself at the offer. "I can help you look for a flute too, until I meet with my own people. It's the same for both of us, and it sounds like a great deal."

[tad_overkill]

Trowa nodded.

"Sounds like a plan then." He couldn't help but relax a little more around the blonde there was just something about him that made it hard to stay stoic around.

[hashtag_winner]

It was probably Quatre's disposition; he genuinely enjoyed being around people, and he appreciated them for their own sake.

"I look forward to it then. Maybe, one day, we can perform together."

[tad_overkill]

"That would be great." He had no problem playing in front of people, wasn't really that big a secret.
