[236] action; open
[devil's compass]

[Old soul or new maybe today's the day you wander into the Devil's Compass, an old-fashioned bar in Sector four. In fact the door's propped open late into the afternoon, before it shuts again with the oncoming rain and traps in the smoky atmosphere. Behind the bar for the most part of the day will be Tyki Mikk himself, a tall and dark haired man in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled back and a well fit but unbuttoned vest. He's tending to the bar with a rag, occasionally moving over to sort out an arrangement of bottles. Quite at home.]

[prayer facility]

[Sometime into the evening a faint tune is floating out of the non-denominational prayer facility in Sector five. If you care to wander in you would see Tyki sitting by the piano, playing it with lazy ease and a briefly bowed head in concentration. He's not wrapped up in the music so much as he is in trying to remember the keys, occasionally slipping and restarting sections or playing through the flaws. Practiced but not perfect, his fingers fly by on the faster sections and linger on the slower.

It'll take him a moment to realize anyone's watching. Didn't think he'd be found here of all places.]

	Those are a rarity, if they exist at all. [He'll still watch to see where she goes from him; to whom.] Wise decision, though. I'm sure many will approve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[His easy acquiescence is not unexpected. She's grateful nonetheless. She could use one less thing to complicate her life.] I'll take care of it in the morning, then.

But I don't much care about the approval of others. So you won't be rid of me entirely.

[She's aware she's leaving herself open in ways she shouldn't, being that red bands still allow for quite a long list of things she should definitely not be considering.]

I can't say it was ever a good choice on my part, but I have fun with you. You're a fascinating person, Tyki -- all sides of you. [That being both a neutral word and one that shows her appreciation for who he is. Even the parts that turn her stomach sometimes.] And no matter what, you're still the only person ever to inspire me to use swear words.

	[That earns a half smile as well as a stand at the piano bench, stepping aside it. He leans against the side of the piano itself, folding his arms and regarding her.] Aha. [He takes a stride away from the piano, the start of leaving but with a curve that heads her way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lacus remains still as Tyki approaches, but for her fingers still toying with the rosary beads. She holds it up as he nears.] Will you be wanting this back? [The crucifix swings in slow arcs as she dangles it in the air between them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His eyes flick to it, but he shakes his head.] No. [He reaches out instead to curl his finger beneath her chin, tipping it upwards; bowing his head down just enough to lay a kiss on her. One last taste is as good of a good bye as he's got.] Keep it. [And he straightens up to walk off if all seems in order.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
