They've been posted up in this spot for about twenty minutes when Abel finally pulls out the small box of cigarettes from his pack. They're just waiting-- not even for a stealth op. Just waiting for the other members of their fireteam to flush out any stragglers to handle. The ETA for that push was still hours out, and he's bored. And maybe keyed up. These aren't high stakes-- but it still counts for leaderboard consideration. He's close. He could make it there if he plays his cards right.

Rhode lights up, pulling air through the cigarette quietly and breathing out. His partner is the current leader. He's got nothing against her for it-- just that her arrival has caused a clusterfuck of tension regarding placements over the last months. He sighs a puff of smoke. Fucking leaderboard.

He casts a glance to his partner and offers the box to her. When she draws one he's quick to casually wave her over and spark his lighter again.

Finally, a quiet day... well, relatively speaking. Church had put up with his idiot teammates all day, and he figured he'd earned a brief respite. Tex had joined him to sit on the edge of his bed without much fanfare, and he didn't really bother asking her what was up--mostly because he doubted he would get a straight answer. Besides, she was being... oddly cuddly, and he wasn't about to turn that down.

That being said, he was still a little surprised when he felt her grab his hand (with unusual gentleness) and start moving it down her side and towards her hip. He, obviously, had no plans on stopping her, though he couldn't help but shoot her a mildly confused look.

Between you and these bones prompt

     Hearing that phrase many a times, especially considering that she was the one called ‘LONE WOLF’ among the Spartan IIs.  That phrase was nothing new to her. It could be because she always seems to have the 1000 yard stare nearly all of the time. Emerald eyes looked over at the other, reading the body language.   Trying to figure out a way return a statement.

🍊  : does my muse desire romance? is it something they would actively seek out, or prefer to happen more ‘ naturally?  ’ what is their love life like? do they have any exes or past flings,  or crushes?

((Like so many things with Church, his views on romance are... complicated. It's probably hard to tell, but he's actually a total sap--he has a hard time expressing as such since his primary romantic interest is obviously Tex, who is anything but sappy most of the time.

Basically, Church definitely likes the idea of romance, even if he's not an expert on the subject. He's not very good at it, and he tends to rush things, but at the end of the day, it's all due to his own self-image issues and desire to be validated.

Obviously, in canon, his love life is entirely built around the existence of Tex, and that's a whole character study in its own right. People smarter than myself have probably written pages and pages on the subject. What's more interesting is exploring his views on romance post-memory unit. This manifests in one of two ways:

1. Reuniting with Tex, and learning to let her grow and identify as her own person before trying to pursue a relationship with her again.

🥝  : does my muse have any ‘ unusual ’ habits, interests,  and  /  or talents? do they hide it, or are they proud of it?

I've talked about this before but I have to mention it- most people don't expect Locus to be a good cook. He's not exactly a food hedonist due to being extremely used to eating complete crap, but he also enjoys cooking and it calms him down. He doesn't hide it, but he doesn't really talk about it either, since he's a quiet kind of person.
