[ Private to Drake Stone ]

Hey, I'm Wally West. Are you my new inmate?

[ ETA Private to Admiral ]

Could you give Drake his ring back? I think we've reached an understanding.

Okay, sure, but it'll make your magic more effective, right?

Is that the only reason you want it?

Re: [Private]

I can't use it at all without it. Unless I find something else that works as a channel.

I want it because I haven't taken it off since I was eleven.

So what you're really asking is to be able to use magic. You know I have no reason to trust you yet, right?

Re: [Private]

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Okay. Then no, I'm not your new inmate. Sorry.

[Private]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I wasn't saying no. But it won't be unconditional. One wrong move and you lose it again.

Re: [Private]

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Really? I'm getting it back? All right!

[Private]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Just don't do anything stupid. I can have it off of you before you even know what happened.

Re: [Private]

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Right, right. Of course.

Re: [Private]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

It's probably too early in the relationship to be sharing stories, right? So what do you do for fun around here?

Re: [Private]

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

There's a spa on the ship. I can't go without a warden letting me in, of course, but you can probably go in any time.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

...No offense, but that's not really what I had in mind for male bonding time.

Re: [Private]

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

I like the spa.

...I don't have any other ideas, really.

[Private]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Maybe something more... two person?

Re: [Private]

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Maybe we could get a drink at the pub? I heard there's a pub.

Re: [Private]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Now that is something I can get behind. Do you want to go now? Tomorrow?

Re: [Private]

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Now's fine. I don't have anything better to do.

So Drake waited outside the pub, needing to be let in in order to go inside since he wasn't a warden.

Being an inmate could be annoying at times.

[ Wally makes a point of waiting a few minutes, long enough (he thinks) for Drake to get to the pub before making an appearance. He stops super-speeding a few yards away to avoid freaking out his inmate too bad and walks up at a leisurely pace. ]

Re: Spam

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Drake looked over at the guy approaching him. "Hey, are you my warden, then?"

Re: Spam

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Wally simply raised an eyebrow. "Wally West, at your service." He very pointedly made no comment on his inmate's fashion sense.

Re: Spam

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

"Warden's first," he said, waving his hand to indicate Wally should go first since...he couldn't open the door.

Re: Spam

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

And so he did. Wally entered the pub, motioning for his inmate to follow and immediately heading to the counter to order a beer.

Re: Spam

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Drake followed him in, going to the counter and sitting down. "I'll have a bloody Mary."

Re: Spam

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

"So," Wally begins casually. "You've had this ring almost your whole life?"

Re: Spam

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Drake watches as the bartender begins mixing his drink. "Since I was a kid. I never even take it off to sleep."
