He was having lunch with two stunning women after battling a demon. Leigh liked to push people’s buttons being flirty, so he pushed back. Between learning about angel magic, missions and just maintaining his friendships there really wasn’t a lot of time to do things like…date for instance. Trying on each other’s clothes was a conversation he really didn’t have a comment on so he took the opportunity to get more of his lunch from the bowl to being inside of him.<br/><br/>When he felt the hand on his thigh his eyes widened in surprise. He had his share of female interest growing up but glancing over and seeing that Leigh had a hand in each lap was not something he figured was going to happen. He had to swallow before he could get a response out. “Well it is pretty warm, so shorts would be good.” He had no idea of Leigh was being serious here or just sort of messing with him again. “I haven’t been clubbing in years. I’m looking forward to it.”<br/><br/>He finished his bowl while Melody gave a rundown of her considerations about the subject of their morning operation. Well this stopped being about eating together and making some introductions as his thinking cap came back on. “I have to believe that they were behaving somewhat rationally. There are way too many possibilities that are out there if we are going to consider the irrational end goal.” he began. It was hard to think with Leigh’s hand on his thigh so he returned the favour and put his hand back on hers.<br/><br/>“From everything I’ve read about demons, our world is always the end goal. They have their duchies in hell that they rule over but we always represent new territory they want to annex.” Sometimes it was to spread fear or whatever they were into but also just because like any human nation, more land was better especially with the crazy amounts of people on the planet they would rule over. “I’m not sure why it ended up near us, I have to go with happenstance here. If they wanted to succeed without any kind of opposition or conflict, then why not just have this ship veer off course and go down in the middle of the ocean where it would be difficult for anyone to respond to its presence?”<br/><br/>“Unless they needed something from us. Then I can see it being deliberate.” he amended. What that may be was once again a complete unknown. It could range from angel blood to some relic to fulfilling some criteria for a ritual. “I totally agree that it wasn’t meant for any of us to investigate and get some kind of meaningful answers from the short time we had. I don’t know if a lunch is long enough, but when we get back to the institute maybe someone will have more ideas on the pictures we sent and the evidence we did gather.”<br/><br/>“The Captain we met seemed to regain his sense of self right at the end there. I think you’re right in that the Song of Demeter had served its purpose and someone was cleaning up after themselves. Us getting out there was not something anyone would plan for. It would have to involve an understanding of our individual motivations and capabilities” there were obvious ‘givens’ with Shadow Hunters, like trying to save people or combat aggressive demons, but a ship was a big thing and they could have gated in via warlock if one of them had such a friend, instead of flown in with their helicopter. Too many variables if they had more time to look.<br/><br/>“No, I think your reasoning is solid. I just think we need more facts to rub together to see a larger pattern.” He had to get some club clothes. Three years of Shadow Hunting meant his wardrobe had become functional outside a few birthday and Christmas gifts.
