[center][b]Collab between Caits and Aerandir[/b]

Fenros and Selena made their way to the rally point to meet the Trabia SeeD to accompany them on this mission, another relation building exercise that yet again Hector was apart of. He had lost count on how many of these missions he had been on, including the one he JUST got  back from. He was like the unofficial diplomat with Trabia. 

Selena looked to him and asked. " I forgot to ask when we were back in Trabia, how is it that all of the instructors knew you by name? I mean every one was hoping that you " helped" her students. "  she finished with a 'You better not be up to no good' glare. 

Hector chuckled and scratched the back of his neck. "What are you insinuating? Just because four of the six instructors were female you think it was something else than just help?" 

He gave a dashing smile and straightened his posture arching back slightly as if he was peacocking. "Perhaps it 's only because I'm devilishly handsome. A fox among men. " Smiling more smug now it quickly turned into a fake pained expression. "A curse that sadly I must carry." 

Selena laughed and shoved him lightly into a light pole they were passing. "As if! " after a second of thinking "Does this have anything to do with the name Foxy Bingo?" 

Shrugging he said casually " I can neither confirm nor deny if it does." Glancing back at her as they made it to their destination, the alley to the right of the timber news building. 


Heloise was not happy about this mission. Whenever she had to work with others like this, particularly in a relation building exercise, it more often then not fell apart, simply because she didn't particularly care for others. She sighed heavily, waiting for whoever she was meant to meet to show up, leaning against a wall in the shadows, her eyes closed. 

As she recognised a familiar voice, she opened one eye, looking about, and listening to the discussion between the two. Hector? Despite herself, she found herself smiling, as she waited for them to come nearer to where she was. 

"With you, Hector, it always is just more then 'Help'" Heloise stepped out from the shadows, her tone slightly amused. [i]Maybe this mission won't be so annoying then[/i] She thought to herself, as she watched Hector, of course she didn't know if he was here for the mission, of it was just a coincidence, sso she waited before saying anything else, just in case. 

Still, it was nice to see an old friend


When he heard someone say with a hint of amusement in their voice "With you Hector, it always is just more than ' help'. He turned around to see Heloise stepping into the light. It took him a second to realize it was her. Never expecting it would be her to join them on the mission. Smiling he then said. " It's true! I just am at Trabia so much I made many more friends!" 

"...who happen to be girls." Selena gave him a 'youre pathetic' smirk. At which Hector sighed and gave up then decided to introduce the two. "Selena this is Heloise, a SeeD from Trabia and also a friend." He looked to Heloise and then said "Heloise, This is Selena a fellow SeeD and friend from Balamb."

"I think she got that with out explanation [i]Foxy Bingo.[/i] " she giggled and offered a hand to shake her hand. After which Hector said "So glad you were the one they sent to help, I havent seen you in for ever." He paused and then asked "you are here for the joint mission right? "

"He makes friends with girls cause guys find him annoying" Heloise said to Selena's comment, giving a nod as Hector introduced them taking Selena's hand only because it would have been rude not to. She looked over to Hector with amusement, "If I weren't, you just told me about it. It does seems like it's been forever since I saw you last" 

She looked back to Selena, "Foxy bingo? What's that? Oh, lord, Hector, are you doing some sort of sick Bingo of scores with girls?" She said, raising an inquisitive eyebrow, waiting for his answer, forgetting about the mission for now, wanting that answer. She figured that was something that Hector would do, and it didn't really concern her, but she figured she had to play along with what seemed like good natured fooling around

She shook her head, deliberately letting her hair fall over her eyes, as a barrier, to allow her to watch Selena without seeing rude, as well as simply allow herself to feel some sort of security. Heloise didn't like to meet new people, and thus, it was a mixed blessing having Hector along for the mission. Still, Selena seemed to be an okay person, so far. 

""He makes friends with girls because guys find him annoying." Heloise said to Selena which caused her to giggle. At which she mentioned the mission and how long they seemed to be apart.

"You know me though, I don't believe in councidences. " he said with a smile which quickly went away when she asked about  his nickname Foxy bingo. Shaking his head he quickly answerd "no no no, nothing like that. I'm not not that sick...not sick at all actually mind you. "

Not wanting to answer he quickly changed the subject. "Anyways we got to get some tickets for the 1545 train. Which we might have to "liberate" some for it might be full already." He glanced up at Shaddow as he hopped on his shoulder. He apparently thought he was a bird and liked to sit on Hectors shoulder. 

"Despite wanting to know so badly how he got his nickname he is right lets go find some. " Selena added before making her way into the street." 

She glanced at Heloise" any embarrassing stories I should know along the way?" Smiling as they walked and Hector groaning with his head down. 

Heloise nodded, and she picked up her pack, and shook her head at the comment to 'liberate' some tickets. "We don't have to do anything so crude. I expected there to be a group, so I had some tickets put aside. We just have to go pay and collect the ones we want" she said, shrugging her pack over one shoulder.


She followed after them, her slight size forcing her to move quickly in order to do so. She had noticed that Hector had quickly changed the subject about the nickname. It seemed an odd reaction, but Heloise didn't push. She would find out eventually, she figured. For now, she was happy to let hector think he had successfully diverted her attention from the nickname.

She glanced about as they walked, merely from habit, but as Selena spoke to her, Hellose looked over. It seemed that Selena wanted to try and interaxt with her, as if they were friends. Heloise wasn't too sure what to do about that, and she looked away, seeming not to answer the question, until she sighed

"That depends on what you already know of Hector. And if he doesn't mind if I tell any embarrassing stories" she said softly, looking ahead, and as they reached the train station, she quickly grabbed the tickets

Hector was a little bummed, he wanted to steal some sad galbadian soldiers ticket or something. A great mastermind plan. But when hEloise said she pre paid he felt that it was just too easy. Oh well. "Smart thinking. I personally like doing things the harder way. Just makes things more fun ." 

Selena waited for after the tickets were bought and then said "oh you don't need his permission, that's what their for! To embarrass the person of course they dont want them told. " 

Hector didn't say anything he really didn't care, he walked silently scratching the bottom of shadows neck who after all this exchange had laid down around his neck. His other hand rested on the grip of his gunblade. Though he did slow down for Heloise she she didn't have to work as much to keep up. 

"Yeah, yeah, you just want fun. Honestly, I'm going to be doomed to pick up after you forever if you keep doing "Fun" things. Just like the hot sauce incident. Had to haul your butt our of that tavern fast, didn't I?"Heloise shook her head, looking over to Selena. 

"I don't....like embarrassing people." [i]I don't particularly like people[/i] she added in her head, giving a shrug, "I find my personality if often enough to get people to dislike me, so why given them more reason to?" She said, without meaning to. It actually come out without her even thinking about it, and she blinked at herself. 

She did smile at Hector as he slowed down for her. Despite all his faults, he was a considerate person. Perhaps because of them. "Beyond everything else, I don't really wish to spend time explaining why you were caught stealing tickets" She said to him, as if nothing had happened.
