My NV is acting up. It's sent erroneous messages to several people.

So you're not in law school, then? Damn, I could have used the lawyer advice.

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[soldierfirst]

Oh, I can still give you legal advice. It just won't be *good* legal advice.

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[theshortestbird]

True legal advice won't be free, though. So you might be the better choice.

[soldierfirst]

Is it something you'd want to ask over text, or do you want to grab coffee somewhere?

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[theshortestbird]

Coffee would be really great, actually.

[soldierfirst]

I'm free if you are. Have you a preference for location?

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[theshortestbird]

There's a place in sector 3, called Kahve? We could meet there.

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[soldierfirst]

I've heard of it. Is half an hour from now good?

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[theshortestbird]

Yeah, that should be fine. I'll meet you there.

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[soldierfirst]

I'll see you soon.

[ooc: the obligatory action thread here, handwave or log question! I'm up for whatever bb.]

text; TFLN virus; backdated to Monday 1/30

[theshortestbird]

See you.

[ooc: I am cool with anything! I am easy like Sunday morning. Maybe action this up?]

a-a-a-action!

[soldierfirst]

[True to his word, about half an hour after the text conversation with Tim, Sephiroth is entering Khave, looking to see if Tim has yet arrived. If he hasn't, the General will wait, and perhaps offer to buy Tim's drink, as coffee had been Sephiroth's idea.]

awwww yeaaaaah

[theshortestbird]

[Tim came in a few minutes after Sephiroth had already entered, taking off his gloves and glancing around the shop before spotting him.]

Hey! [He called out, waving a little with a big smile. Dorky, yes, but he was a computer nerd.]

[soldierfirst]

[Tim, you are such a dork. But that's okay, Sephiroth will gesture for Tim to join him by the counter; the person in front of him is just about finishing up.]

If you can make up your mind quickly, I'm buying.

[theshortestbird]

Well, if you insist. [He laughed, quickly ordering a medium coffee. Something simple, especially since he wasn't paying.]

Thank you. You really didn't have to.

[soldierfirst]

I do.

[A shrug meets Tim's statement as Sephiroth finishes paying so they can move away from the counter and find a seat. He gestures for Tim to lead, not sure of what sort of privacy the other man might want for his 'advice.'] Part of the fun in life is doing those little things that you don't have to.

[theshortestbird]

That's some sound advice, but it does sound like it came from a fortune cookie. [Grins, grabbing his coffee and taking a seat near the window.]

[soldierfirst]

We don't have fortune cookies where I'm from.

[They'd been a novel discovery, as had Chinese takeout. Sephiroth sits opposite his companion, a glance given through the thick glass before focusing on Tim again. He'll give his companion a chance to start before he enters with the leading questions.]

[theshortestbird]

I keep forgetting that not everyone is from the same place. You'd never know it, you know? [Sighs, sipping his coffee.]

[soldierfirst]

One of the novelties of this place. [A sip of his own drink, slightly contemplative of the flavor. It's nice; the shop is going on his list of places to re-visit.] Do you miss much from home?

[theshortestbird]

I miss a few things. My friends, and school. This really good diner that was down the street from my home. [Smiles.] Normal things.

[soldierfirst]

I understand the sentiment. I miss the familiarity of my routine a little bit, even though I've fallen into one here. [He chuckles.] I think I miss my office.

[theshortestbird]

What did you do back home, in your world? If you don't mind me asking.

[soldierfirst]

You can ask. [Because really, Lee had mostly hired him on his rank, or so Sephiroth thought. It would probably come out sooner or later.]

I hold the rank of General. Back home, I worked for a company called ShinRa, as part of a program called SOLDIER.
