Who: November 11 & Hei [CLOSED]
When: Day 17, morning
Where: Somewhere in Nature
What: It's been a long, long time, love.

[He's had an entire day to watch Li Shengsun, and the results have been telling. Time to see if he can... confirm certain things.

As such, he's strolling out, oh-so-casually following the path Li left when he stepped out some ten minutes ago. A random encounter is in order.]

[Hei isn't exactly oblivious. Even in such an enclosed space, even with the number of people around, it's clear that November has been watching him.

What Hei isn't sure of is whether he's watching Li Shengshun, or watching BK-201. He hasn't been subtle in the past day, not with how tightly the other Contractor's presence alone has wound him, the tension that thrums through his body anew every time he catches a glimpse of Jack.

So he's off to kill something and pay back Dellen, or possibly just to release some of his nervous energy. But he's heading straight for the opening to the outdoors, because fresh air can only help. If the nature out there doesn't kill him, that is.]

[He takes his time following Hei, and it isn't just because he wants to make sure he isn't noticed until the last possible moment - he also wants to take a good look at what's outside of the relative safety of their 'headquarters'.

He'll snap his attention right back to his quarry, however, the moment the fighting starts. Whatever he gleans from this encounter will pretty much confirm or debunk what his theories.]

[Hei moves with all the lethal grace of the BK-201 with which November is so familiar, and the way he dispatches the lizagons that tried to get in his way is nothing less than efficient, with use of wire and knife.]

[And now that he's at liberty to do so, he's admiring that form. BK-201's always been too damned good at what he does, after all.

It's purely professional, this interest. Really.

November lets this carry on for about fifteen minutes before setting things up: moving in even quieter than he already was, closing the distance between them.]

[Hei notices November the moment he comes within his peripheral vision, allows himself to be distracted from the environment in order to snap his head around and stare at the Contractor with narrowed eyes.]

Oh, fancy seeing you here~

[Smiling. He totally hasn't been following you, nope. This is a completely random run-in.]

[.....'-'

But that gets him a small smile, too: a Li smile.]

Doing some hunting, yourself?

I was, actually... or, I had been planning to until I realized that I don't have much on me that'll help me deal with the wild life here just yet. Good thing I ran into you.

[8)]

[An experienced MI6 agent coming out into Nature unprepared, and making blatant attempts to join his expedition?

Yeah, bullshit.

But he has no choice but to play along. Sigh.]

I'm going to be going outside... Are you sure you shouldn't just go back?

And miss the chance to be with such an experienced hunter? No, I don't think so.

[Folding his arms across his chest, leaning a bit on a nearby tree.]

You're very skilled with that knife, and those wires.

[... 8)]

An old hobby, but not one that had much use in Tokyo, I'm afraid.

[Who needs to work on decent lies when it's obvious November knows?

But turning to continue the journey.]

[Following, following along~ hands in his pocket, smile in place. Like they aren't on a planet full of wild life that's pretty much geared towards killing you.]

Is that so? One would think that such parlor tricks would at least make you the life of the party.

I'm not the partying type.

[clearing some of the less dangerous looking clumps of plantlife absently as they go.]

A homebody then?

[La la la~]

A college student.

[the most casual destruction...]

With commendable bushwhacking powers.

A transfer student. Born in the countryside.

And I suppose they teach provincial lads like yourself how to use lethal wires now?

Are you going to say it, or should we keep acting like idiots?

[Heh. He was waiting for that.]

So impatient, BK-201. I was rather enjoying this completely normal conversation with you, you know.

I don't think that counted as normal, November 11.

[oh look, the opening to the great and terrible outdoors. heading straight for it.]

[Chuckles.]

And what would count as normal, then?

[Rounding on him when they reach an area that looks relatively clear.]

What do you want.

What do you think I want?

[:D

(He's totally not trolling in order to measure just how things are with you now. Nope.]

Don't answer a question with a question.
