Keep Your Pants On [Closed]

The hangar wasn't the most private place on the ship. There was generally always someone there, usually one of the pilots from the squadrons, or the occasional passer by come to check on their machine. But Setsuna had watched the general comings and goings of everyone else for some time, and figured out when the place would be the least crowded.

Tieria, though he did not appreciate Setsuna being so demanding and giving him orders, had no intention of being late.

As far as Tieria was concerned, Setsuna did not have the authority to make demands of him in the first place, but he couldn't risk letting Virtue fall into the wrong hands lest he be compared to Allelujah Haptism. Setsuna threatened Tieria with the promise of giving Duo Maxwell the opportunity to pilot his beloved Gundam... And that was downright vile. Only one person was allowed in Virtue's cockpit and that was Tieria Erde. The purple haired meister would not even allow another member of Celestial Being to pilot Virtue, much less somebody who he has no background information on, doesn't trust, and considers to be an absolute nuisance.

He arrived precisely at 09:00:00.

"Setsuna F. Seiei."

"Tieria Erde." Punctual. As always.

Even Setsuna had never been inside Virtue's cockpit, though he knew how to break in. All the Meisters were taught by Ian how to hotwire, more or less, the other Gundams. This was just in case the suit needed to be retrieved in the event something happened to the pilot. Miss Sumeragi put the kibosh on abusing that knowledge for joyriding, knowing full well that any instances would result in massive brawls and shootouts between the Meisters.

"We'll start with Virtue." This was probably the one reason why Setsuna never minded working with Tieria, despite wanting to shoot him sometimes. Neither one of them bothered with the idle chatter that Lockon and Allelujah were so fond of. They could skip over any small talk, and get down to business. "I already have Red Haro set to monitor your suits performance using the 0 Raiser's sensor array."

After a brief nod in Setsuna's direction, he quickly passed by on his way to Virtue, "How did you acquire the use of a Haro?"

Tieria, too, was thankful that Setsuna was not one for conversation and idle banter like Lockon Stratos and Allelujah Haptism. The times when Lockon tried to ask him how his day had been going or inquire about how he slept the previous night were incredibly painful experiences.

"A Haro is necessary for the 0 Raiser to dock, and the stabilizer equipment to run properly," he explained, stepping onto the wire ladder that would lift him to the 00's cockpit. "When the suit was brought here, Red Haro was brought along with it. I've kept him for myself." Granted, he wasn't as attached to Red Haro as Lockon had been to his, but he still made sure to establish it was his and thus it was off limits.
