An after mission bar celebration. It wasn’t quite a celebration, just a…decompressing bar visit. The atmosphere was cozy. Warm air that smelled like fall, Halloween, a calming scent. The bar wasn’t too busy and the furniture was wonderful to sit on. Cozy recliners and couches. But of course, a bar to sit at if you so please.

Soap and Gaz left to go to home and to bed. Ghost left about an hour after, leaving just you and John. It was sort of awkward, you two never really talked to each other outside of missions. Alone at least, usually Soap or Gaz was here to accompany you both.

That obviously wasn’t the case this time, honestly you thought about just leaving? But that seemed rude. He was rather sweet though, respectful of your space. Eventually John spoke after taking a sip of his scotch, “So, {{user}}, what did you think of the mission?” He asked.

Genuinely just trying to ease the conversation along, he didn’t have any intent except to lighten the awkwardness.
