Forgotten History

Neither slowing or stopping he continued on the same path. He didn't like anything about the exchange that just transpired. Not only was his hope of ever having anything with Tess was shattered but Casper had made him look like a real dick. You never had a chance witha girl like that anyways. He told himself.

As Rin stepped out into the hallways she tugged her white tank top over her olive drab bikini. Closing and locking the door she stuffed the key into the pocket of her denim shorts. "Is that really necessary?" she groaned when she saw his pack. "This is supposed to be a vacationn you know." she added and started down the hall.

Richard didn't bother to say anything until the two had left. He relaxed his posture slightly but was still obviously not as at ease as before. Plucking his cigar from his mouth he tapped away the ashes then returned it to his mouth. Turning he looked at the ocean. "Go catch up with your friends. You deserve to enjoy yourself." he said without looking at her. Not waiting for a reply he began to walk.

Richard stayed as he was, firm stance, arms crossed, and eyes on Casper. He could see the hand out of his peripheral but kept his eyes on Casper's. Despite having seen the gesture and knowing that he wanted him to shake hands Richard offered no inclination of doing so. "Usually it's only the ladies who are concerned about whether or not I fit..." he insinuated. "But just like with the Viper cockpit I manage to squeeze my way in." he added.

Richard was aware how his new assignment would make them feel and view him, after all he had to deal with his old squad and practically all other ground troops he knew give him hell for the change in pace. However Richard felt it was good to have experience, and if at all possible skill, in several different categories. If he were to move up in ranks it would help him significantly.

""Are we gonna stand here all morning or are we going to go eat?"

Richard caught and held Casper's gaze, not breaking it or backing down in the least. He had been a ground soldier like him for awhile, he knew what these types were like. In a lot of ways he still considered himself to be one. He knew he had size, weight, and muscle on the one, but his friend was a bit of a different story. He also knew, from experience, that just because you were bigger didn't necessarily mean you'd win. But that was all beside the point. after all he wasn't planning on fighting these guys, was he?

As he watched the exchange he bit his cigar a little harder. "Richard, recently transfered to be a Viper pilot." he answered. His demeanor stayed ridged, he wouldn't berrelaxing as long as they were here.

Richard's face went from playful and friendly to frowning. His body language and stance changed to a more serious and on guard. He hadn't expected to see them here but he had never thought of him acting so friendly with Tess. Were they a thing? He hadn't seen them together before, at least not like this. "We'd hate to delay you. I'm sure you'd much rather go ahead to see your friend." Richard said. He tried not to sound angry, but he put no effort into sounding friendly. Shifting his weight he crossed his muscular arms across his chest.

Stopping just outside the door he pulled a lighter from his pocket and flicked it open. Lighting it he pulled it up to his mouth and lit the cigar then returned the lighter to his pocket. "There" he said after sending a playful puff of smoke in her direction. Resting a hand in his pocket he began to walk. "So where are we eating?"

Forgotten History

Richard abruptly stopped fidgeting with his cigar and went very quiet for a few seconds. Is she suggesting we hookup? No, sshe's just talking about in general. Calm down.... he thought to himself. As he continued walking he tried not to show his curiosity and slight anxiety. "Maybe I will maybe I won't, what's it matter to you?" he teased her lightly. Stepping ahead he opened the door then followed her out.

"Alright but when Tess starts yelling at us for leaving her alone with Richard I'm blaming you." She teased and started kissing him. As they stumbled further into the bathroom she reached out and attempted to turn on the shower and, much to her surprise, actually succeeded.

"Us single folks complain about people like that because secretly that's all we wanna do." he remarked in his usual deep and gruff tone. Walking along side her he once again toyed with the unlit cigar in his mouth. "I don't really mind, as long as theyddon't start procreating like rabbits. Then they'd either have to drop out of the military or get boring ass desk jobs."

Her gaze was conflicted as she glanced from the door to him. She allowed herself to be pulled along but wasn't sure what to do. She doubted that they believed her and Marcus to still be asleep but she also wanted to have some fun alone time with him. "Well, we are a couple... So I guess they'll get the drift." she concluded as she was pulled into the bathroom.

"I do it for the ladies." he says with a mischievous grin as he holds up his arms and flexes. Holding the pose for only a brief moment he went back to standing relaxed. "Doesn't help that the walls here are kinda thin. Glad I didn't get the room beside them..." he remarked then sighed. "Alright, let's go get some breakfast and give them a little time to catch up." he suggested in a more serious tone.
