Despite what the icon may lead you to believe, Mack is not wearing a cowboy hat. Go figure.

He's rolling up his shirt sleeves, seemingly paying very little attention to his surroundings. This is probably not the case. He's got...some kind of...thorny...baton...thing in a holster. It looks cool, whatever the hell it is. When he's satisfied with his state of dress, he looks up.

"You ever meet somebody made you wish you'd known somebody else a little earlier?"

Is this the same man from a few weeks ago? If it is, he certainly looks much better than he did when she helped dress his wound.

"Gosh yes. And it's good to see you again sir, how've been doing?" Funny, she hadn't caught his name before.

"Yeah?" He cocks his eyebrow at her, curious, but adjusts from one foot to the other and answers her question. "I've been doing just fine, ma'am. Got my situation sorted out, as it were." He offers her his hand. "Liutenant Colonel Marshall Sumner, ma'am." He's not terribly impressed with the step down in rank, but after some experience with the Dhonal palace guard, he's pretty sure the Captain's days as Captain are limited.

She takes his offered hand and shakes it, smiling up at him. "Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Colonel Sumner, and it's just Ellie, not ma'am."

Curious about what prompted his question, she's considering prying a little -- if he'll allow it. "So... your situation has improved then? Meeting new people here?"

"Things are looking up from where they were." He agrees, taking his hand back and smiling at her. He's much nicer when he smiles, which is probably why he doesn't do it very often, the sourpuss.

He's got a very nice smile, actually. It's a shame he doesn't smile more often but she'd understand why not given the last time she saw him.

"And you've found a place to stay I hope?" She's going to look at apartments herself tommorow with Anne.

"Maybe. I've certainly met people that made me wish I didn't know the other person at all." Filia and Saichuro, to be precise.

"Uh huh." Mack is not especially interested in that, but he can do sort of impassive politeness really well.

"Have you been here long, sir?" Xelloss asks, noting the answer. Humans, he'd never understand them. But he's kind of used to negative reactions from people, given his personality.

"Few weeks." Mack is not the most friendly of dudes, in fairness. Depending on various factors. He's more inclined to be friendly to women, less because he wants to get laid and more because he was raised a certain way. Of course, to his eye, Xelloss does look kind of like a woman, so it's probably just that he doesn't want his relatively pleasant nostalgia ruined.

Xelloss is wondering if it's such a good idea to stick around at this point, but... eh. He doesn't know what to think, not knowing what's behind Mack's taciturn demeanor. Mack sort of reminds him of Zelgadis with the way Mack's acting.

"Well, I certainly hope your time here is productive, sir," Xelloss says politely. "You remind me of someone I used to know, and if you're anything like him I'm sure you'll take the most reasonable route towards survival here."

"You might say that," Martha tells him, a little ruefully. It might have prevented her from making herself look like a bit foolish.

"You look well, Colonel."

"I think I'm doing well, too, Doc." He offers her a crooked smile.

"You wanna elaborate, or should I keep my nose out of it?"

She smiles back! Once again, Martha is decidedly not dressed in her doctorwear - she looks like she might've just come from a party, what with the dress and all.

"It's a really long story. But tell me what you've got up to! Consider it a check-up."

"Check up, huh?" he chuckles, briefly. "Got myself a job with the Dhonal palace guard. Lieutenant Colonel. Bit of a step down, but as Lord al-Rahim put it -- got room for mobility." He's pretty sure he knows exactly what Diwaniya meant by that.

"And is that part of the job?" She indicates the baton with a nod, eyebrows raised. "I've never heard of Dhonal."

Diwaniya looks pleased to see him, though they've seen each other more recently than the last time they met in these parts.

"Colonel. Everything going well?"

He has to think about the question a bit; it's a little abstract, and honestly, there really aren't that many people Diwaniya actually...likes.

"Seems that way, sir," Mack nods, straightening at the younger man's approach.

It is abstract, mostly...because of Diwaniya, and the fact he's not sure how much he wants to say.

"Good, very good. I'm quite pleased with the reports I've heard thus far."

A pause, since he doesn't want to sound like he's admonishing Mack or anything--he's not, honestly, he really was hoping this would happen. (Obliviously, since he has no way of knowing about Mack's history with a certain Dr. Weir.)

"I hear you've met my wife."

Mack clears his throat a little uncomfortably, considering his subject matter. "That I did, sir. She had a few things to say to me."

"I thought she might," says Diwaniya, with a pleased smile. "I was hoping you two would speak. Are your worlds as similar as I had thought?"

...oh, Diwaniya. You have NO IDEA.

A thorny baton weapon thing is always enough to catch her attention.

"Yeah. Matt."

"Matt?" his eyebrow cocks.

She nods as she reaches out to poke the baton thing then brings her hand back fast.

"Matt, Nemesis."

Mack takes a step back, his hand covering the baton. "Don't touch that." That is not a tone that brooks argument.

"Nemesis. Promising title."

She lowers her head and looks at him through her bangs. Busted!

"Promise broken."
