"Come to Jesus...?" Elizabeth hasn't actually heard that before, but she'll roll with it. She heard General Ravani's name in there, so that's good enough for her. There's a few uncertain beats while York figures out what Elizabeth should call him, but she stays patient throughout.

"Alright, if you're alright with me calling you Taylor, you can call me Liz," she smiles and indicates York should sit. "So what plans does General Ravani have for you in the Order?"

[goddamngrenades]

"Just that I should get put in. I don't think it's got all that much by way of people since the change over and the General doesn't really seem like she wants to get too hands on. I'm a former infiltration specialist and rainbow space marine so...wherever that'll do the most good." He shrugs, sliding in across from her. "I look forward to working with you, Liz."

[tearmeanewone]

Elizabeth stares at him for a moment, then her eyes narrow slightly.

"Did you... actually say 'rainbow space marine'?"

[goddamngrenades]

"...We kinda had really bright colored armor for stealth operatives, y'know?"

[tearmeanewone]

"...Bright colors for stealth operatives. How about that." At least it wasn't outer space full of rainbows.

"Well, I'm guessing that because you're a marine you know how to fire a gun. And I'm pretty good at stealth operations myself. Maybe we'll work on something together sometime."

[goddamngrenades]

"I just wore the armor, I didn't design it." He shrugs. "Figure our Uniform will be a little more subdued here but that's fine. I was under the impression we were gonna be paired up. Partners."

[tearmeanewone]

"Partners?" This is clearly new information to her, and she doesn't look thrilled. She's only had one person she's considered to be a partner, and that's Booker. It would always be Booker, and only him.

"Gosh, that sounds like it could be really great, but I'm not the best partner. For anybody, really. I usually work by myself."

[goddamngrenades]

"And I used to have a squad till- well let's just say shit went bad real quick." He hadn't really tried his hand at a proper partnership since then. "We'll figure it out."

[tearmeanewone]

Elizabeth arches an eyebrow, clearly not thrilled that apparently York is making this decision for her despite her clearly stated reservations.

"Well I used to have a partner too, and I lost him. Not really in a rush to 'figure it out' again."

[goddamngrenades]

"I meant the Order of Justice thing. Whether we work together or solo, man, that depends on what needs doing more than anything else, right? I figure we work on our own to start we'll cover more ground." Backups' wrothwhile but they can both get around pretty quick, right?

[tearmeanewone]

"Yeah, that's what I was talking about-- what'd you think I was talking about?" This just got a little odd.

"Alright, I'm willing to be flexible while we both get our feet planted in the Order. I'm not against giving it a try, I guess."

[goddamngrenades]

"Could be worse. We could end up working for a nutjob."

[tearmeanewone]

She gives a short laugh and picks up her sandwich. "No kidding. General Ravani wouldn't let that happen on her watch, I can promise you that."

[goddamngrenades]

"We'll see who we get saddled with. Should be someone decent, you know?" He shrugs, scrubbing at the back of his neck.
