You know, I don't have a place to stay yet, Snake. Need a roommate? I could use a big, strong guy like yourself in case I run into any more of those bastards. [totally being facetious, except that she really does need a place to stay :|]
[Lady was just sorta strolling down Brebo since he didn't specify where on the avenue, but Snake's pretty easy to spot so she heads up to him, smiling] Hey you. So, which way to the secret base? [clearly mocking his secrecy? never.]
Mmmhm, alright. [leans up against wall beside him for a moment, shifting awkwardly because lol there is a rocket launcher on her back. After a silent pause, reaches over and steals the cigarette from him to take a drag. She's alright for a minute and then when she hands it back to him there's a quiet cough she's trying to muffle] . . . Pretend I didn't try that.
[looks down at it, more surprised that someone would actually try that rather than normally reprimanding him for smoking to begin with] If you wanted one, you could've asked.
[reaches down for his pack] Did you quit or something?
An old friend of mine smoked. Disgusting habit, I'd always give her shit for it but she told me that it was the best way she'd found to deal with her stress.
[shrugs a bit and waves it off, clearing her throat to get the last of the burning sensation to go away] Thought no better time to test that theory than a place like this.
[pauses for a second] And, let me tell you, she can fuck herself. That's disgusting. Why the hell do you do it?
[pushes herself away from the wall and heads after him] Clears your head, but poisons the rest of you. Mmm, whatever. Your choice, I guess. So, mind if I ask you something?
It doesn't, promise. So long as your place doesn't smell like ash 24/7. [You'll get used to her~]
Anyway. Why all the secrecy? You said you were ex-military, but you're still calling your place a base and wanting to keep it on the down-low. Got into a nasty fight with someone here or what?
You could say that. [rounds a corner] Not everyone here has good intentions or a full deck of cards to play with, and there are a few people from my world among them that I consider very dangerous. Until they're dead or I find reason to trust the majority of this city's inhabitants, I'd like to keep my residence secret for as long as I can.

Ooh, sexy and competent. Couldn't have scripted a better compliment, myself. Catch ya later, big guy. I'll only be a few minutes.

Lemme finish my cigarette first. Then I'll show you.

[stands up as he discards his cigarette, crushing it underfoot]
Sounds like your friend had the right idea. [starts walking down the street, gesturing for her to follow him]

As long as it doesn't have anything to do with how I'm killing my lungs, sure.
