Rating: PG, most likely
Time: November 26, Middway
Description: Since they're not on the mission, they take the opportunity to go out somewhere together for once.
Equius waited in the lobby of the hive stem, arms folded across his chest, and watched the stairway constantly, to an almost unnerving degree. While he was wearing his standard outfit, having still had trouble dealing with the human implication of fashion being important, he had gone out and bought new sunglasses, ones that weren't cracked. Of course he kept the old ones, but these were easier to see out of, and so far they'd rained their un-cracked state, which was a new experience for him. It was almost pleasant being able to put them on without snapping them in half.
Sollux had apparently gone off on the big mission today. Equius wondered if he shouldn't have, too; after all, it didn't do for a highblood to abscond from military duty when it presented itself. But he hadn't been here quite as long; he still didn't have a partner. And while spare weapons would have been available, it just wouldn't have felt right fighting without with bare hands smashing something. So, alas, here he was; but it gave him some time to spend with Aradia, what with her moirail gone. And she'd seemed bored anyway. This could only end well.
They'd arranged to meet here before going out to find someplace to further study humans. Particularly the human preoccupation with dining. Humans got so worked up over the smallest, least important things ... so long as it was edible, what did they care how it looked or where it came from?
