Cassian's been on base working on his report and preparing for his next mission, when he finds a door. When he'd last been in, he had seen Sombra talking comfortably to the man, Reaper, which was intriguing. Finding Milliways gives him a chance to learn more, at the counter when he orders a beer, then he tries to see what information about that world she'll give him.

It turns out to not be a lot, since the questions he's asking are too broad and he realizes that he doesn't know years or places. Not that that's always useful considering in his galaxy, the Empire tries to regulate calendars but it doesn't always work. He taps his datapad and thinks, he doesn't want Sombra to suspect that he's learning too much about her. She won't be surprised but also probably won't like it. In the end, he realizes he needs more information and stays at the counter to drink and work.

Tiny tag: Cassian Andor
OOC: Handwaves, ignore previous EP, I had a better idea.

Jay comes in from his door, taking off his helmet as he does. There's blood on one sleeve of his suit and dents in the chest armour.

But I can't be too bad given that he's grinning. "Hey mate." Jay heads for the bar, grabbing a drink and a towel. "Want anything?"

[childofrebellion]

Cassian notes the dents, "I've got a beer. How does the other guy look?"

[runningred]

"Messy." Jay grins. "But his boss will be getting the message very soon. I don't tolerate people dealing drugs around schools. With luck, he'll be dropping in to see me before long."

He grabs another couple of beer and brings another over for Cassian. "How are things going with you?"

[childofrebellion]

He takes a drink as he considers that, "Drugs are always a way in for everything else. Not too bad."

[runningred]

Jay nods. "There's a cartel I'm trying to dismantle. I'm taking my time about it."

[childofrebellion]

"They're hard to get rid of as they get everywhere."

[runningred]

"This one's run by one family. Which makes them easier to bring down but it means you're gotta make sure you get all of them."

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, and knowing their connections."

[runningred]

"That's it. But it keeps me busy. How around yourself? How are things?"

[childofrebellion]

"Fine, I had a few bumps on my last job but nothing awful."

[runningred]

"The offer is still there. If you need gear or anything, just let me know."

[childofrebellion]

"I know and I don't need anything at the moment. How are your drones doing? Do they help you with your work?"

[runningred]

"Well, the little ones have been born, new years eve. But the alpha, Princess, had some health issues. We're holding off till she gets a bit older and stronger to start treating them."

Speak of the devil, they say, and in he walks.

Or maybe this time it's think of the devil . . .

"You are always working very hard, my friend," Sombra says, sliding onto a bar stool directly next to Cassian.

"It is very sad to see."

[childofrebellion]

When she sits down, he smiles and shrugs, "There's always work to do. I met your friend the skeleton."

[messwiththebest]

Sombra's eyebrows go up.

"I hate to tell you this, amigo, but I have no skeleton friends."

Reaper is not a skeleton, for one. Neither is Widowmaker (though maybe she is a zombie? Sombra might ask).

[childofrebellion]

"Skeleton mask, I couldn't see what was under his robes," And he probably would like to be thought of as a skeleton.

[messwiththebest]

"Ah," Sombra says, as the light dawns.

"Well, we cannot all help what makes us get up in the morning, no?."

Sorry not-sorry, Gabe.

[childofrebellion]

"Intimidation gets him up?" That's not surprising but also sad, "Are you there for his mornings?"

[messwiththebest]

"Oh yes," Sombra says, smirking.

"Ours is the most torrid of all love affairs."

She's lying. So, so lying. Or maybe she's just joking!

[childofrebellion]

He takes a drink of his beer with a shrug and smirk, "He does seem dedicated though I worry he could keep up with you."

[messwiththebest]

"You should tell him that."

Nothing could go wrong!

[childofrebellion]

"Maybe I will next time," If Sombra's comfortable enough to tease Reaper then Cassian might try it, "Does he bring you interesting jobs?"

[messwiththebest]

Sombra has some screws missing upstairs, Cassian. At least when it comes to fear.

"Like a cat with a dead bird."

What?

[childofrebellion]

Cassian's best friend is a seven foot tall droid and he does some of the most dangerous jobs, he's not the best guide, "How sweet of him."
