</div>It was a long moment from when he heard Dan's step to when the man opened the door and Alvaro could only imagine the soft-hearted coach was debating on feigning being gone. He was pleasantly surprised and smiled when the door opened. He chuckled, leaning casually against the door frame. "Si, you correct, friend. It's evening. Dinner time to be more exact, but I was hoping to catch you for a minute...Do you have one?"<br/><br/>Dan looked like he had one and Alvaro slipped by into the room with his eyes on Dan's and his smile in place. "I saw your work...your list..." he walked into the room, hands up clasped in front of himself. You spent a<i>lot</i>of time on that..."<br/><br/>He moved to where the window looked out onto the side yard a couple of floors up. It was a decent view. He turned back toward Dan and leaned against the sill. "All night from what Rebel told me. And I don't doubt it. It was very complete, and you look as shitty as I do for lack of sleep."<br/><br/>He sniffed and cleared his throat, his eyes breaking from Dan to make a staccato glance around the room, taking in the layout and furnishings in a fraction of a second before returning to Dan again. "Made our job easy today. "Gracias, friend, for that I'm thankful. There's a lot, you know...to be done. A lot of people we had to go through and discuss. We were able to make changes because of the list."<br/><br/>He paused, just looking at Dan; taking in his expression, demeanor, and into his eyes. The man didn't have much skill at hiding his heart, Alvaro thought. Not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all. It took hard and soft people to make things work but they had to be in the right places with their heads on straight. "You did a good job, and I want you to be honest with me because you can and it's always better that way."<br/><br/>He shifted, the habit to light a cigarette was strong but he dismissed it and rest his hands down to lightly grasp the window sill he leaned against as he continued to speak. "You can do the guard job, but you shouldn't. It's not you. It goes against a nature in you that I can see, a deep nature. You know," he waxed philosophically, "this world, especially now, affords every opportunity for people with the harder natures, and there's plenty of them. But I don't think we should turn you into one of them. I think there's something else, something that hasn't really been made yet, that would suit you better. You like Senor Roman, right? The kids? All these people here, they've been through a lot, you know?"<br/><br/>His words were more stream of consciousness at that point, his mouth just iterating things as they came to his mind. "Perhaps, there is something you two could create, something for the people. I don't know, it's not a strong point for me, but for you," he pointed casually at Dan, "I think it would be easy. And for Roman? Well, he needs something besides the kids. A friend and connection to the community."
