Affably Evil
It had been about a week since the altercation with the female Atlantean, and Mason, for the most part, was recovered. Stitches hadn't come out yet, but he didn't need to worry about popping them in the course of his day. Marrina and Jordie had threatened to lock him in his room if he didn't rest for at least the first few days afterwards, so he'd been forced to comply.

Right now though, he was feeling okay, and he had nachos with three kinds of cheese, bacon, and gravy. There was good in the world.

	Tallek wasn't about to try to sneak into Alpha Flight's headquarters. He didn't need the element of surprise. He was going to do this the honorable way. More or less. He pounded on the main doors with one hand and held a bottle of Atlantean alcohol in the other. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Mason checks the video feed for the front gate as a notification blinks onto the screens in the Temple, and just sighs. He opens up a comm channel. "All right... I'll be out in a minute. Let me just grab Marrina and we'll be right there."

He almost wants to ask for an hour's postponement to let some of the nachos settle, but then decides he's about to need the calories.

	"On my way," Marrina said, over the comm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason loads up his pockets with ball bearings and a spool of wire, and heads for the front door, opening it once Marrina arrives and proceeding across the yard towards the gate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tallek bowed to the Princess when she approached. "I have come seeking your hand, Princess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina regarded him with a polite nod. "You know the drill. You need to defeat my chosen consort." Which isn't gonna happen, buster. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be me, Mason Jeffries." Mason opens the gate for him, nodding towards an open stretch of lawn. "Come on then, let's get it over with. And you are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tallek passed through the gate. "In due time. A drink first?" he asked. "There is no reason why we can't act civilly," he said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason blinks, staring back, before nudging Marrina slightly. The others had just rushed in ready to go. This was... weird. "Your call. I'm still just trying to piece the rules of this thing together as I go." He tilts his head. "You.. you're not allowed to attack unless you give your name first, right? Doesn't count otherwise."

	"I... guess that's okay," Marrina said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, those are the rules," he said. "Perhaps we can sit for this drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay..." Mason gestures towards the building. "I'm, uh... not actually old enough to drink yet, but we can sit for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina nodded. "I'm pretty sure you we could forgive it this once, Mason." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_atlantis 2010-10-23 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	"We have to fight, but it doesn't mean we cann't be civilized about this," he said and waited to follow Mason and Marrina in the building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason shrugs and figures to go along with it for now. It's certainly nicer than being ambushed from the sewer. "Sure, this way." He leads the Atlantean back towards the building. "Umm, thanks for not just sneak-attacking me. This is, uh, a lot more polite, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-10-23 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Politest one yet," Marrina agreed, as she followed along. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nodded to each of them and followed them into Alpha Flight headquarters. "I believe in manners and being polite." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, it's a nice change of pace from what we've dealt with so far." Mason comments, then seems to freeze up. "Not that I've got anything against Atlanteans of course. Ones that aren't trying to kill me... at the moment, I mean. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She stifled a giggle at that. "I get what you mean, Mason." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Would you be so kind to get us some glasses?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-10-24 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Nah, I'd rather make them." Mason smiles, taking some of the ball bearings from his pockets and putting them on the table. Moments later, he's formed three square-edged glasses. He smirks slightly, pleased with himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina allowed herself a smile. "I never get tired of that trick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He opened the bottle before e took one of the glasses from Mason, not impressed. He filled the glass and handed it to Marrina. He took another glass and filled it, discreetly dropping a small drops of a liquid from a small hidden vial. He handed the glass to Mason. He took the third glass and filled it.
