Who: Wash, Church, and Tex.
What: Discussions of serious business
When: June 28 I guess
Where: Church's room
Rating: PG so far?

Well, after running into the newest UNSC arrival in the castle, he knew they had a potential issue to worry about. He wasn't intending to reveal Tex and Church, but the wrong person revealing them or the wrong piece of information would make things very awkward for anyone with project Freelancer. And that would be why he was knocking at Church's door rather loudly right now. Regardless of it possibly angering them... This is serious.

Being human was a big transition when it happened. Being human meant all sorts of things like hunger and fatigue and sweat. It made things different when you had a real body and it always seemed to throw her. Thankfully Church was actually there for her when it happened. He didn't care if she was pouting for no good reason, they cussed at each other and he helped her out.

Like now, the last walk with Mason had left her soaked in muddy water when the dog decided tromping through the pond was a good idea. She'd been sour and muttering all the way back to their..his room. The room they were more or less sharing at the moment. They'd managed to scrub the mutt clean and somehow in that process there was laughter and suds and Church was offering to help clean the mud off her.

That had lead to them cleaning up, more or less, mostly cleaning though the occasional touch or kiss might have left them both distracted until the loud knocking snagged Tex's attention.

She broke mid-kiss and scowled at the door. "What the hell is that?"

He liked her human, not to say he didn't like her otherwise but when she was human there was a subtle shift between them. She was, well he wasn't exactly sure what it was but things were... easier. Maybe it was just being alive again? Whatever it was for once he wasn't going to argue about it.

"Damn it, someone's at the door." He grumbled and shot a dirty look in the direction of whoever it was. "Just ignore them, maybe they'll go away."

Mason however wasn't ignoring it and he jumped off the bed to sit in front of the door, tail wagging.

Wash had heard something coming from the room... And while he normally wouldn't want to chance a beating from Tex, the potential issues of this were worth the punch. He's not going to stop knocking.

"They aren't going away." She chased the words with a few choice curses and scrambled to cover herself, one of Church's shirts pulled over her head and a pair of his boxers snagged from the pile of clean laundry nearby. Hey, she had been busy, and then a robot so, yeah she hadn't had a lot of time to do laundry, ok?

Of course her hair was still damp and mussed but she was at least clean. Clean and scowling like it might have the same effect as a punch to the back of the head of whoever was knocking at the door.

"Fucking open it, they aren't going to leave us alone, so maybe I can relieve some stress by beating the crap out of someone." She was just being hyperbolic... probably.

"Ugh fine... I'll answer the fuckin' door." He huffed and grabbed his clothes. He struggled into his sweatpants, hopping on one foot out to the living room and trailing half muttered curses as he went.

"Whoever you are, this had better be some kind of emergency!" He pulled his shirt over his head while Mason whined and scratched at the door. "Because if it's not, I'm probably going to let Tex punch you."

He wrenched the door open with a scowl. "The fuck do you want... Wash?"

Wash sighed, knowing he was dealing with some annoyed residents. "It's important, Church. I need to speak to you and Tex. There's a potential problem that showed up in the castle. UNSC."

[hatesgoodbyes]

"Punch? I'll kick their-..did you say Wash?"

Tex moved quickly, pulling the shirt down over her. She moved Church out of the way, but it at least was a gentle nudge and not a full on throw.

"What do you mean the UNSC? How the fuck can they do anything here?"

[originalcopy]

"UNSC? What, like another Spartan?" He moved grudgingly and looked between Wash and Tex somewhat confused. That was a good thing right?

"Isn't that... I don't know, a good thing? Someone from the home universe."

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Washington looks worried. Very much so. "They can't do anything here as such, but I still find anything from a member of ONI with rank worrying, including interest in us. I ran into her in the halls. A Rear Admiral named Serin Osman."

He sighs. "The Spartans were difficult enough when they arrived. And she desires to meet with us."

[hatesgoodbyes]

"A goddamned Rear Admiral?" She scowled and folded her arms. "Never catch a fucking break."

She stepped back, backing against Church and gesturing Wash inside. "Come on, get in here so we can talk without this being a public conversation."
