Three Minute Dates- Caritas- Saturday before 8:15 pm

It was that time agaaaaaain! There was a sign on the door and a banner above the stage.

CARITAS PRESENTS
THREE MINUTE DATES


Or maybe, perchance, you totally missed it somehow, and didn't run from the bar before Tino could sign you up for dates. It happens!

And then a few minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage under the banner, to a drumroll from the zombie drummer.

"Hello and welcome to another installment of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty began. "In case you're new to this, in a couple minutes I'm going to call out sets of names. You'll find that person, talk to them for a whole three minutes. When you hear this siren-" Oh, that was an obnoxious air horn sound. "-you'll get a new person to talk to. If you got sucked into this without your knowledge, sorry, and also it's fifteen minutes of your life, make some new friends!"


[So much OCD incoming. OCD is up! Date away! A post for Caritas after the dates will go up Saturday!]

"Crownsguard in the service of the Lucian royal family," Ignis answered, with a dutiful nod of his head and a faint, proud sort of smile, "and, of course, the citizenry of Lucis, as well. And Kingslaive, one day, when the crown prince takes the place of his father on the throne, but let us hope that that day is very far ahead in the future."

Even as he said it, it seemed to hold the ominous feeling of prophesy, but he tried to ignore that for now.

"But believe me, I'm well familiar with complicated situations in that regard. Have you always been interested in military service?"

Goose nodded, as he listened and then considered Ignis’ question.

“I suppose in a way I have,” he said, after a bit, “Commander Walsh, my Commanding Officer, I’ve known him my whole life so I guess he helped inspire my career path”, which was going to make things extremely awkward when he eventually found out about Walsh being his genetic donor, “I serve with a good team and we work well together, all things considered it could be worse,”

Ah, well, Ignis knew someone Goose could have a chat with if they wanted to talk about awkward genetic donors...

"A good team can make all the difference," Ignis agreed with a nod. "My own team is rather small and tight-knit, so anything short of that, I imagine, would be quite the disastrous mess."

They certainly weren't perfect, but it was hard to not feel a little pride over their dorky little squad.

Goose grinned, “absolutely,” he agreed, “it definitely helps make the missions easier that’s for sure, I didn’t think I’d be part of such a good team but I can’t imagine not being part of it now,”

And at that, Ignis couldn't help letting his eyes drift over toward a few other tables in the room with a faint, fond sort of smile on his face with a sentiment like that. "They do rather grow on you, don't they?"

And as his tone led into a musing expression, the air horn signalling the end of the round promptly changed it to a faint wince and a much more indulgent sort of smile.

"Well," he declared, "that's certainly not subtle, is it? And I assume that means our three minutes are up."
