Anthony? I got your message. Sorry if I kept you, I was busy with some odds and ends.
The place looks wonderful.

Temp! You look amazing! I'm so glad you could make it....
<pulls chair out for her>
I wasn't sure what you like, so I pretty much made a little of everything...salad, pasta, soup...I hope you see something you like? <emphasizes 'something' a little suggestively in a playful way>
I'm celebrating my unemployment! I have some wine if you'd like? I'm just having some club soda. Recovering alcoholic and what-not.

<pours her some fresh spring water and sits> I...pretty much turned myself in, Temp. I screwed things up pretty badly as Chief. My heart was in the right place, I thought, but my issues always tend to bend things backwards, somehow.
Besides, with the Dark Oval mission looming, I needed to free myself up, anyway. <sips his soda and regards her> Have I told you how beautiful you are?

You know, I thought you asked me here because you need to talk to someone. I have this feeling you have ulterior motives. Perhaps we should just skip the meal and get right down to it?

As the darkness descends a shadowy figure moves from the drapes. Looking towards the direction of the dining room, he passes silently into Lardys comm’s room.
“He deserves some happiness before he leaves on this mission, would that I could grant him this boon. Alas even this night must have a bitter memory for him I must leave this. He must come soon or she will be lost to him again, and this time forever.
A small Oval box is placed on the Omnicom where Lardy will see it. Next to the box a small card is placed. The card has a simple message “Come quick, you are our last hope”
The figure turns and leaves as unnoticed as he arrived.
In the next room Lardy stops kissing Tempest, “Whoa, wait a moment, did you hear that” he says.
“Hush Anthony, there’s nothing there, your hearing things. Now come back here”
As Exo Lard turns back to Tempest he is still unnerved by the sounds he heard.
In his head he hears it again,
It is the sound of War drums, of women screaming, the sounds of flames hungrily licking up the walls of buildings, It is the sound of war and death.
He shivers “And so it begins” he thinks.

<thinks> Still here? Would've bet that she'd be gone when I woke up. Said it herself: she was "using me". I guess I just wore her out! Hmm...coulda sworn I heard something last night, around the second...or third time? <looks around lazily but doesn't see the box> Mm. May as well enjoy her company while it lasts. I really, REALLY like her, but I don't think I'm in her heart...
<puts his arms around her, spoons and drifts off>

Dev had left the Office and decided to talk to Lardy. He was feeling bad about how things had been left between them, and hoped to maybe set a few things straight.
Dev landed outside the Lair, and knocked on the door.
