The Log W5!
Who: Aidan, Roads Blackwell, possibly interlopers
What: What else? A date... though Roads may or may not be aware of this fact
When: As scheduled, 8:00! A day after this!
Where: On and around the White Chalice. Feel free to notice them and comment, but ask us before you interfere directly please.
Why: Lulz! Also why not?

It was a beautiful starry night in the south United States. The desert was quiet but glistening with life. The stars were shining brightly down upon the deck of the White Chalice. A dark haired young man had picked a place between two of the light sources which lit up the deck at night so that the sky would be more visible. Said youth waited while watching the sky, every so often looking around to find his compatriot...

Aidan laughs, "Depends, how good a shot are you?"

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's been a while since I had access to a gun. But if my skills haven't rusted too much...Quite a good one, if I may say so myself."

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

"Shooting ranges are kind of boring though aren't they?" He laughs, "I mean, how much fun is it to just shoot at stationary targets?"

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Roads shrugs. "Eh, it's all in how you approach it. I find it kind of relaxing, myself. The endless repetition gives me time to reflect on things. Besides, it's a nice feeling to develop a skill."

"But you aren't really developing the skill. Once your already a good shot, shooting at a stationary target doesn't really do you any good."

2/2

He gives Roads a small smile, "But if it relaxes you, sure go for it. But it's not really a group activity."

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

"Ah, yeah, I guess so. See ya later, then, unless you want to come along."

With a slight wave, Roads turned around and began to walk away.

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

Aidan walks over beside him, leans down and gives him a soft, but sensual kiss on the cheek, "Yeah, see ya later."

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Roads didn't stop Aidan, or even flinch as the young man kissed him. He didn't do anything, actually, until a bit after Aidan finished and stepped away from him.





"...What."

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

"Am I moving to fast?" This was a date after all, or at least Aidan thought it was.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

"I'm a bit more surprised that there's movement in that direction at all..."

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

Aidan smirks, "Seriously?" He doesn't seem hurt or confused. Really, if anything he's amused.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. To be honest, I expected more of a friendly chat thing, than a date-thing."

Roads resumed his usual thinking posture, closing his eyes while he spoke.

"Though in retrospect, I suppose I didn't describe what I was expecting very well..."

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

Aidan laughs, "You were the one who brought up romantic candlelight. Can you really blame me for taking the shot? It's not everyday I actually get hit on by a guy."

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

"Heheheh...Yeah, that is true, isn't it.." Roads scratched the back of his neck again, laughing slightly.

His gaze drifted upwards, to the stars blanketing the night sky. I wonder how everyone else is getting along...

Suddenly, a thought occured to him.
"Oh, yeah...What's your name, kid?"

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

Aidan turns towards Roads before saying, "The Fearless Coward." With a totally straight face.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

"Ah."
There's a bit of a pause while Roads thinks of what to do next; sighing briefly, he speaks:

"So you're that kind of pilot..."

Roads thinks for a bit. Should he tell this kid? It was usually custom to exchange their nicknames...and he certainly hadn't heard of a Fearless Coward before.

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

Aidan laughs, "Yeah, that's my call sign. People who actually know me call me Aidan." He then looks Roads directly in the eyes, "And for the record? I am actually fearless." He got the feeling Roads hadn't believed him before, most people didn't.

"Huh. That's pretty interesting. As for me..."

2/2

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

This...was probably not the wisest decision Roads was making right now, but it didn't seem like Aidan would go talking to everyone about Roads' old job. And it was quite possible the kid hadn't ever heard of the Black Valkyries, too. So he went ahead.

"...Black Valkyrie 3 was my callsign, at least at my last job. I go by Roads now, though."

1/3

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

He gave Roads a pointed look, "Black Valkyrie 3 eh? Gotta be a story there."

2/3

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

"Not one I imagine you want to talk about either." He continued after a short bit of thought.

3/3

[fearless-coward.livejournal.com]

"In any case, if you know anyone who might be interested. I'm available basically whenever." He winks at Roads, "And don't worry. Your secret's safe with me."

Re: 3/3

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Roads stayed solemn while Aidan spoke. It wasn't until the kid told him his secret was safe that he started smiling.

"...Thanks for that."

He turner around and waves again, this time actually leaving.

"See ya later, Aidan."
