[ Sam's mental presence is accompanied by the sweep of feathers and the rush of wind as he focuses in on his connection to the Nest, occassionally dotted with a faint hint of static or the glint of stars. ]

( There's more than a few of us going at this mission in our own way, so I figure it can't hurt to check in. I don't got a lot this early in the game, but if anyone wants what I've found out about our hosts or the other envoys or what I've been doing to get it, I'll pass it on. This ain't a trade kind of thing - I'll tell you whether or not you wanna let me know what you've been up to. But if you don't mind sharing, hell, I'll take it. )

[ They're a paranoid bunch here, Sam knows that. He'd rather get what little he's been able to find out to people who might be able to do something with it than insist on getting something back. ]

( If you'd rather do it in person, just tell me when or where. I'm pretty sure I heard something about Adra making us all dinner later, so that might not be a bad time either. )

[ On an OOC note, if you only want info sharing and would rather handwave the interaction or just want to know what Sam would share, hit me up on the first comment to this post! ]

[ Elena doesn't hesitate to take that indicated spot, shedding the layers of her costume as she settles in next to Shiro with a smile. It's not as big and carefree as her smiles used to be before all of this, but it's more than she's managed during her time with the Nest so far. Hefting the bottle of alcohol, her eyes widen as Sam names the game and she voices a slightly horrified but mostly comical ]

Oh no.

[ Her smile grows as she covers her eyes with a hand, because she trusts Sam and Shiro enough to play this particular game with them, but still. Never Have I Ever is never not a little painful. ]

You're going to give us drinks.

[Oh he knows there's more to it than that. But he's got to poke a little. Sam can stand it. Especially if that's the kind of atmosphere he's going for. He just takes his bottle, shaking his head a little.]

[And then, addressing Elena, with mock seriousness. The kind of deadpan expression Shiro does so very well.

He's serious. I'm sorry. There's no talking him out of it now.

[ Sam gives Shiro a little shove at that, grinning in amusement. Yeah, yeah, Shiro, hassle him all you want - he can take it, and it's definitely the kind of atmosphere he's going for. ]

Oh yes.

[ Shiro's deadpan expression just makes him laugh, and he knocks back a sip of his drink. It may end up being a little bit painful, but Sam trusts both of them to at least keep it to the good kind of painful. ] I'll even go first - never have I ever gotten caught skipping class.

[ Elena's been getting used to the strange grassy taste of the drink, and the scent of it is almost refreshing as Sam takes that sip. But then he poses the first challenge and all she can do is stare at him in an expression quite similar to Shiro's...

And then she takes a drink before glancing over to Shiro, waiting to see if he'll join her.

Well, isn't this off to a great start. ]

[Gotten caught skipping class implies you skipped class which...]

[He looks back and forth between the two of them, before he shrugs, his expression embarrassed and apologetic all rolled into one.]

Never skipped class. So... never got caught.

[ This off to an excellent start, as far as Sam's concerned. He's learning things about both of them - thought admittedly, he kind of already figured that about Shiro. ]

Man, I think you should have to drink just for that. [ But he's teasing, and he glances over at Elena. ] You wanna go next?

[ Sam's teasing leaves her smiling, and she has to agree with his idea, though she won't say it. They'll probably feel it though. She takes half a second to think of her own statement before going with the first thing that comes into her head. ]

Never have I ever been a pilot.

Hey, you just said "got caught".

[You don't get to be the Kerberos pilot by skipping class, Sam. And then Elena has to go chime in.]

[He makes a face.]

[But drinks his juice anyway.] Low blow.

[ He shoots a little grin at Elena at the feel of her agreement, playfully bumping Shiro’s knee with his when Shiro protests that he’d said get caught.

And then Elena definitely cheats and Sam groans as he takes a drink from his bottle before gesturing at her with it. In the past, he would have left it at that - but he doesn’t have to try to keep his wings a secret anymore, not here. ]

Technically not a pilot, but I do fly, so I’ll count it.
