[He's still punctual, at least, with the knock on her door coming almost exactly ten minutes after he sends his message. It's a particular knock, but perhaps a familiar one, given the fact that they're both soldiers and over the course of their shared careers, sometimes secret codes come in handy. It's the on that means it's him, and that he's alone.]
[Maybe he's a little offended, because of course he made sure he wasn't followed or being watched. It's not something he wants to start a fight about, however, and he's quick to step in the door after she makes sure they're clear. He closes it behind him, then goes for his mask. For whatever reason, it doesn't feel right to wear it around her.]
[If Ana hadn't changed like everyone else, he would have thought her reaction to him to be the same as Angela's: disturbed, but mostly ambivalent and tied down by things that didn't matter anymore. Unfortunately, Ana had already shown her hand to him, and he knows that she'd gone out of her way to protect Jack Morrison, and that she didn't resent him.
She made her choice. And she was going to regret it, if Reaper had anything to say about it.
He is without weapons, but he doesn't need them. Ana had chosen a different life, before she was a soldier. Reaper had strength on his side. So he waits in the mess hall, looking no less casual than he had in life, sitting at a table with his hands folded in a business-like manner.
His impatience shows in the form of one tapping claw.]
[If Ana was smart, she would have asked Jack to watch her back from someplace he couldn't be seen. But she also know that was a quick and easy way to set him off. All she really wanted to do was chat but the warning from others tickled in the back of her head. That Gabriel could no longer be trusted. That he was crazy and liable to blow up at any excuse he could grab. Or that was what was understood but not exactly said.
But Ana also cared. Far too much for her own good nor did she really understand the root of the issue as of yet.
She made it easy though, showing up and grabbing a seat right in front of him.]
[His knuckles crack under his gauntlets when Ana sits, and the casual air in which she does so annoys him instantly, perhaps even moreso than her choice of "Gabriel" does. There's a brief glint behind the eyeholes of his mask when he focuses on her, claws unfolding and hands disappearing under the table. He doesn't have his guns, but he doesn't really care whether or not she knows that.]
Never got the memo. Not surprised. Nobody was ever that broken up about it.
[Sure, he'd been told otherwise, but words never meant much to him. Jack Morrison's funeral had been televised, he had statues all across America. There had never been anything for him, who dragged them all alongside him.]
That is something I will reject. No matter your appearance, you are still Gabriel to me.
[Though Ana doesn't really know his appearance at this point. Regardless, if she did, her opinion wouldn't change. Though she was already feeling like she was hitting up against a brick wall.]
Regardless, what was it you wished to speak about?
What you prefer to do in your own house is up to you. However, they are simply young and have plenty of energy. Rather than a discussion or lecture, would it not be better to put them work and expend that energy? With so much to do, perhaps a little labor will help them understand your point plus be beneficial to others.
And I do happen to be attempting to grow my own tea plants. As an older lady, having energetic hands every now and then can be helpful.
Then I will give you a tip now. Do not be afraid to be tough. You can always make up for hurt feelings with love later but making up for mistakes caused by a lack of discipline will be a lot harder.

From:text; AFTER HER INTRODUCTION TO 'LION HOUSE'
Date: 2017-02-12 11:00 pm (UTC)My name is Shiro and I'm ... belatedly here to apologize for my team and the household. I heard you showed up while I was out.
[Out and on some really heavy duty painkillers.]
I'm sorry for the mess. And when I get back, they will be too.
