♦ ♦ 5th Contract
[ It's routine for him to patrol the neighborhood. Hidden on rooftops under the dark sky. Skulking unseen in alleyways. On guard for strange activity. It's the only time he feels like himself anymore. The daylight hours, his mundane obligations, leave too much time to speculate where his life is going. What his life here is. ]
[ No Syndicate. No Gate. No Contractors.No teammates. ]
[ At least this keeps him focused. Allows him to sharpen skills, burn energies, that can be exerted no other way. At quarter to two a.m., a round completed, he slips into civilian clothes. As Li, he walks the empty streets. Stops off at a store for a quart of milk on his way towards a hot bath and bed. The clerk, a pretty redhead, smiles and rings up his order. Hei smiles back. ]
It's a really nice night out, isn't it? I can see all the stars.
[ Patrols are perfunctory. But tonight he's filled with (inexplicable) jubilation. So much that he leans across the counter, tipping the girl's chin up for a kiss. Which. Goes on. And on. And ... Okay, kids. Enough. After a moment Hei jerks back, red-faced and stammering. ]
Ah! S-Sorry about that! I think -- I-I-I think it's a curse.
[ The girl blushes and mumbles likewise. Flustered, Hei grabs his purchase and hurries off. She watches him go, a guilty little smile on her lips. Someone doesn't seem to have minded. ]
[ OOC: Hit with Victory Kisses. Feel free to run into him and get smooched, or vice versa. Just a warning: he may freeze up/eyetwitch/smack/injure your character. Or just blush and sob hideously! Whichever reaction you want is upto you! ]

Ugh!
[She'd like nothing more than to beat the snot out of him right now, but a small part of her knows that would be an over-reaction -- and a larger part is worried he might try to kiss her again. So she does the only sensible thing.]
Stay away from me!
[She runs.]

[ After a beat, he calls after her. ]
I'm really sorry!
[ Idiotic curse. He needs to get indoors. ASAP. ]
