"Indeed it was." He smiled softly.

He hadn't touched or embraced the man beside their chests bumping. He did lean in and press his lips to his ear. "Enough to make me yearn for you."

Watches quietly.

Eyebrow raised.

"Not even a hello?"

He chuckles quietly, hands behind his back. "Is all going well?"

"Also good. I can't complain." He said softly. "Though work is... difficult."

Rolls neck. It's been some time.

"Can I help you?"

He tilted his head. "Either or. What are you offering?"

He should try harder.

"Your name?"

"See me later today, but I could use you."

[Come to this address. We will test you.]

He blinked. "Record timing."

He smirked. "Indeed it is." He looked the man over. "You are physically fit. Needed in our line of work."

"Smart." He said as he gently grabbed the man's face. He looked him over more closely, turning his chin this way and that. "It's eerie how similar we look."

He squinted. Were they? "Mm... I don't like how you say that for some reason."

"No reason. Consider yourself recruited."

"Soon. First, get situated at the base. Then come see me later in my office."
