RP: Sunday Dinner
Who: Everyone
Where: Mike's house
When: Sunday
Summary: Sunday dinner plus Eric's birthday.

Mike detested these weekly dinners, not because they were all getting together, but because they were on Sundays. It reminded him of his father, who always insisted on a big family dinner on Sundays, and the man was a despicable asshole who Mike did not like being reminded of.

On the bright side, this was also Eric's birthday. So after dinner they had cake, ice cream, and sang Happy Birthday.

"That strange, huh?" he said, not asking if she didn't want to talk about it. He would have been so pissed off if it was him, and he knew Dom had been, especially for Kensi, but he wouldn't make her talk about it or anything. "How are the people there?" he asked instead, curious about her take on them.

"The work is different here," he said when she asked, and that was an understatement. In one way, it was so cool, the dimensional travel, trying to find out what material to access, and how to access it without anyone knowing. On the other he missed his toys back home, and the work they did there. The differences in systems were subtle and small, and it was interesting researching the differences. Then there was the set up in the safe house, finding the right things, checking prices, all without anyone finding out what he was doing. Some of it he could do when he went to get games or consoles privately, it was easy enough to note the prices of other things than the ones he actually bought. Some prices and specs he had to look up online, after making sure no one would be able to trace what he was doing.

"It's so cool in many ways, but it's not the same as it was back home at all. I miss the Ops-center."

Eric looked at Savannah and shrugged his shoulders. "Not sure," he said. "I haven't exactly asked and I don't live in the house." Given Savannah's obvious displeasure he was rather glad for that. "I'm glad I'm not Marty today though."

"Kind of. Teams have different dynamics though, we all know that. The people are great, very friendly and open. That's the bit I'm not so used to," she said, smiling crookedly. "I still think I prefer living along to with others but at least there's eye candy in the house."

"Are you on a much more basic system?" Kensi asked. She didn't understand techy stuff too much beyond how to work her phone and computer but she knew that the techs were only very good at what they did because they had tools that enabled them to search faster, do things quicker. "The ops-center was awesome. Hell, the entire office was brilliant. And there was real sunshine."

"Me neither. If they haven't had an argument already, it looks like one's brewing," she said, glancing at Savannah again before putting the thought aside. She'd perhaps talk to her later and find out what was wrong although she didn't want her head bitten off for trying to be nice.

"The friendly and open?" Erik asked with a grin, though he wasn't sure he got it, because as far as he was concerned he thought the team was open and friendly, or at least friendly. They knew each other well enough that they didn't feel the need to share everything, they knew what they needed to know and they knew each other's personalities well enough to know when to talk and when to just leave each other alone. Most of the time at least. "Open how?" he asked. "Like sitting down and sharing info or getting to know personal stuff or what?"

He just smirked at the eye-candy comment. "Seems you have your priorities figured out," he teased.

When she asked him about the system however, he knew he could speak forever. "Yes, definitely. I mean you know the system we have back home, or the basics of it at least. The things I can do with that is amazing, while this... well it has its limits." He stopped himself from going off into an explanation of the various differences and technical specifications, reminding himself that Kensi most likely wouldn't be all that interested. When she mentioned the weather though, he didn't stop himself at all.

"Oh my god, yes!" he said at the mere mention of sunshine. "There was water, and beaches and you could go surfing, and walk around in shorts and flip flops without freezing. If we could just do all of this on a base in Los Angeles that would have been so much better." Not that he didn't wear shorts here, as well as flip flops, but on colder days even he had to wear real shoes here.

"Yeah," he agreed, deciding to stay out of that one.

"As in Morgan would probably happily take you through a full and detailed version his life story without you having to ask specific questions to get the information out," Kensi replied, smiling. "Do you see Callen or Sam wanting to do that in a hurry? Dom is Dom, I guess, the same but different and it's when I think I have him figured out that something happens and I remember he's not. Tim is ... Tim's fun but this is just a world away from what he was doing before. I still don't know Jenna yet but I hear she's as in to sharing as Sam is," Kensi chuckled. "Morgan's going to hate us all soon."

Kensi's smile widened. "Of course," she replied. "Eye candy's very important after a hard day's training when there's no first date to perk me up in the evening."

"I'd settle for a few days of extra sunshine. I miss California," she said with a small frown. "Not LA so much but the office, Camp Pendleton, the gorgeous beaches and hiking routes. That, I do miss."

Eric blinked. "Seriously?" he asked, trying to imagine anyone, not even Sam or Callen, doing that. "Why?" It wasn't that he didn't get sharing info, just not all the info. Why would anyone talk that much with people you barely knew? He nodded as she went on about the others. "Dom will never be our Dom, but he's still mostly himself," he said.

"I don't even want to imagine what it would be to be thrown into this head first without a choice or an idea that it was coming." He looked at Sam's daughter as Kensi mentioned Jenna. "I didn't even know Sam had a daughter before," he admitted. "Did you?"

Her comment made him laugh. "We're in a base full of soldiers, surely there would be some who could be kind enough to offer you a first date," he teased.

"A few days would be great. I miss it too."
