*Battletech: Planet's Fall

"Miss Wentworth, I am a medieval relic" Klaus replies drily. He gently strokes Tessa's face. "And I like this view very, very well." His expression becomes more distant at the mention of home. "Close. The mountains and cold are the same, but nowhere near as prosperous. I've barely seen it for...a do...

"Well my dear, as much as I enjoy the idea of being your barely legal stud..." Klaus take the opportunity of his date taking his hand to slide closer, an arm encircling around Tessa's waist. "First, I must apologize: a gentleman should never make a lady reveal her age." There is bluster and bravado ...

"It's that that my past is unknown, it's just-" Klaus sighs and removes his gloves, revealing expansive burn scars. "I was on the analyst track in the AFFC military. I shouldn't have been anywhere near an open warzone, but when I was nominated to consult on a wargame, it was a chance at advancement....

"Well, for one, you are adorable like this." Klaus reaches for her hand, his own blush starting to fade. "And I see plenty more than you think." "I...have" Klaus pauses. "Minimal experience as well. "Dating" was not something I have experienced much of, to be honest. I had plenty of social interacti...

"I didn't see anything, I swear!" Klaus feels his blush deepen to match Tessa's. "It was a long skirt, so I didn't-well, that it was very nice and I imagined-ok I am going to shut up and kiss you now." He leans forward to place his lips on hers, hoping to change the subject. "We are kind of a mess a...

"Mysterious and intriguing?" Klaus chuckles. "I think I'm one of the most boring people you'll find in the officers' corps. Bluntly...I'm a nerd. I spin things around in my head and useful things pop out."

"Hmm, thank you for giving me the heads up. I...don't always notice things like that. I get so wrapped up in my own head that I miss obvious things that I should have guessed on my own. I haven't stuck up for Iria as much as should have. I often find myself in agreement with her, and I think she has...

"Well, I think you might be quite cunning yourself madam, but I'll get to that later." Klaus bites the inside of his cheek. "It's just that...you were the first thing that made me welcome in the Angels and I doubt you ever knew it. I had been cut out from the only life I knew, the only paty I had se...

"It was indeed a good time. It helped me, brought some things into focus."

Klaus' gaze falls onto the unlit cigarette at Yoko's prompt. "That sounds ominous. How might I be of service?"

"I like both. And I know exactly how you can express those thanks." Klaus responds with a cheeky smile of his own. He presents the tickets to the station attendant and makes his way to the cable car, holding the door for his date. The interior is minimalist but honey, with faux wood paneling to give...

"I know." Klaus nods, dipping his head for a moment. "Things are very different here. Not bad, simply different. This is just the time I am closest to what I used to be. As I said, old habits" Klaus looks Yoko over. "I want to thank you. Tessa and I had a lovely time out with your tour. I need to in...

"It's Lieutenant." Klaus corrects, and then sighs. "I'm sorry. Old habit, from when I was on general staff. The Lyran military tends to be sticklers for protocol. How are you Miss Lee? Have there been any reports other than Butcher neutralizing the exterior guard?"

"Oh, certainly. And the mountain will be nice too" Klaus' eye twinkles with amusement and he leans in conspiratorially, placing a hand on his date's arm. "Seriously though, you look wonderful. I've never seen you in that before." Klaus present the tickets for the rail car as they reach the station. ...

Klaus steps out of the cafe, a basket in his hand. "Good news, they have practically everything. Sandwiches, tea, coffee, wine." He extends an arm to his date. "I hope we can make it to the top before sunset." He continues a leisurely stroll to the cable car station. "But I hope that we can entertai...

Klaus can't help but allow himself a smile. They might just find themselves an unexpected recruit...or patron.

"So, guys, gals and enby pals, do we have any wagers on how the young Lady will do?" Klaus asks, happy to play bookmaker to people if there is interest.

Voting for Ninovo.

Klaus discreetly backs off and sees if there are any curious onlookers.

"I don't mind if I do" Klaus offers a wry smile. "I don't know if soap is a good present for a lady, making her wonder if I'm saying something by it"

"But thank you. I look forward to working with you"

"Well, we will make you one of us degenerates yet." Klaus jokes, doing his best to hide a smile behind his hand.

"Ezmeralda can speak to a lot of that I believe. And we could make do with a trio of combat redheads"
