@galaxythixf's Clove has been spotted for a surprise! || rain.

Cue the chime of a bell atop the door of a certain agent's favorite boba shop as he pushed open the door effortlessly. Taro bubble tea in hand & usual music choice could be heard blasting through his earbuds. A gloved hand to raise to pull out an ear bud while turning down the music, eyes easily finding his companion. 

❝ Thanks for waiting for me. I know you said you didn't want anything, but here... ❞ Gratitude expressed in his typical shy demeanor; a pull of lips to a smile & appreciation gleaming in his eyes. After shoving the other earbud back in its case he moved to shuffle around the items in the bag on his arm, feeling around for the surprise. A packet of shortbread cookies is pulled out of the bag & held out to Clove. ❝ A snack for the inconvenience. ❞

Surely the snacks, company, and conversation would elate this trip even more for the two had the sky decided not to rain on their parade. Although an expected outcome with how gloomy it was looking & luckily the duelist was prepared for this situation. With ease an umbrella is unclipped from the side of one of many pockets on his person, one flick of the wrist as the umbrella springs open to its full size. ❝ I told you this would be useful. ❞ Was that a flash of a smug expression as he chuckled softly? Perhaps. Recalling the other's typical teasing over how overly prepared he is for many possible situations. But could they argue that it doesn't pay off a lot of the time? His awareness has gotten the duo out of quite a few sticky situations actually.

Iso held the umbrella between the two of them as they walked, more priority of the umbrella's space covering Clove. His other hand found refuge in the warmth his jacket pocket provided. He didn't mind if he ended up getting a little soaked from the weather, but he would worry if Clove were to develop a cold later because he pulled them out of the safety of base for his own mandatory snack trip. ❝ If you're cold let me know, I don't mind letting you borrow my jacket. ❞ More worry in his tone than not, perhaps overly so.

"... I am impressed. You are brutally efficient."

He had observed Iso's bout in the training room for some time now, making his silent entrance only when the simulation had fully come to a halt. The wraith nods in acknowledgement, leaning back against the wall with his arms folded over his chest.

Initially, Omen had merely been passing through, but the opportunity to see the new recruit in action prior to his first deployment as an agent of the Protocol was far too enticing.

"It comes as no surprise that you've built a reputation for yourself. Well done."

"what are you doing?" - Iso to Deadlock

Hearing Iso's voice behind her, Iselin was quick to shut the notebook she had been writing in, using the pencil as a bookmark. "Nothing interesting, just a bit of journaling," she answered, turning to properly face him, her arm resting on the back of the sofa.

"How have you liked the book I lent you?"

@galaxythixf said: "You won't regret this, I promise." - Iso to Sova

- general || accepting -

. "Ehh, I don't think I have regretted a drink before." He shrugged. They had an hour before the Vulture arrived, and the claim that this was the best boba in the area at least made the Russian curious. It was one of the more regularly mentioned drinks among agents, but he hadn't actually tried it yet. It'd been a long line, and though Sasha was a patient man, his perpetually waning tolerance for the beating heat of the sun made him question Zhaoyu's judgment.

. But now, shade, and drinks. He was at least eager for something to cool off-

. Which led to having to cough a small object back up after taking a sip. He looked into his elbow where he'd hacked up a small pearl, still coughing a few times.

. "I did not know it was just another version of kompot," he said, voice hoarse as he coughed again.

[ STRIKE ] - Iso

@galaxythixf | ISO: [STRIKE] sender aims a blow (via either their fists or their weapon) at the receiver.

Iso was a good shot—excellent, even—but there was more to combat than being able to take aim and fire.

In a fluid motion, Omen steps back, narrowly dodging the knife that slices cleanly through the air where he once stood. Anticipation courses through him, tightening his grip on the knife clutched tightly in his grasp.

Close... but not close enough.

For a moment, it appears that Iso retreats, slinking away as if to consider his next move... but in the blink of an eye, the younger agent darts forward, knife bared. Omen's gut twists—Iso's feint had caught him off guard. Panic, however, gives way as instinct takes hold.

Unraveled at the seams, Omen disappears right in front of his eyes—at the same time, a clawed hand lunges forward and closes in around him, grappling Iso from behind and holding him firmly in place.

The cool, dull edge of a blade grazes his throat, laid bare along the swell of his Adam's apple. A sharp whisper cuts against the shell of his ear.

"Dead."

Carefully, Omen releases the vice grip on the younger agent's clothing, the weight of his body disappearing as he slinks backward. Slotting his knife back into its sheath, he raises his gaze back up to Iso.

"You must be able to defend yourself against their Omen's ambush. He will not afford you the same kindness." Though harsh, there's no bitterness in the deep, gravelly rumble of his voice—only patience. Encouragement.

"Try again."

@galaxythixf asked : "前辈, do you have a minute?" Iso stands a bit awkwardly by the door, uncertain if perhaps he belongs here, questioning whether or not he uses the right words. Shoulders stiff with a still expression trained not to give away the anxiety that eats him up inside, clawing for a way to break free. Now under careful watch he lets spurts of it slip through shifty eyes and clumsy words. "Sorry, I was having trouble sleeping and I saw you pass by." It's an earnest reason, far too shaken with the ruin he's caused over years of blood curdled screams and bodies he wrongfully snuffed the life from. Executioner, a role he was trained to pursue with the utmost skill and yet it haunted him. That role had never fit him even as he wore it confidently in the face of every target and now the shadow of his crimes has caught up to him in broken sleep and nervous action. "Would you mind … if I kept you company for a little while?" His tone is even out of habit but his mind begs for a little company during the nights that scare him. - Iso to Sage
