[COLOR="Sienna"]"I'm really glad that you suggest this, good company, good drinks."[/COLOR] [B]The three weeks in-between:[/B] More and more Cade's contracting business becomes a cover, although he still does a lot of design work, he also contracts trusted survey teams to inspect the locations and install teams to put in the security systems. More and more Cade focuses on his life at the Hoffmann Institute, between honing his skills, checking up on Team Libra, and spending time with Z. It is quite obvious that the young man is entrenched in what he does at Hoffmann and that his old life is more of a thing of the past, of a previous stage on his life, like how academic life was a different stage that he graduated from. While he keeps in touch with his family, Cade only plans trips back home as needed, yet his family understands. When Cade is at Hoffmann, he spends a lot of time at the range, specifically the walk-through range, sometimes known as Hogan's Alley or, more Hoffmann specific, Shadow Alley. His abilities start to become more smooth and natural, the tumbling and leaping of his free running mixing with his usage of firearms and his technical expertise. Not one to push anything, Cade mostly contacts Team Libra casually, making sure that they're okay and, if needed, helping them out as needed. Not only are they part of the same Team, but they're some of the only folk who can understand what they've been through, thus some of the only folk that they can turn to and talk about these things. And then there is Z, someone Cade just enjoys being with and he takes it as it is, not forcing anything or oversetting his expectations. Sure, he gets her things, things he finds out she likes, and it's obvious that he likes her...it's gossip for some of the office folk...however, Cade just appreciates their time together and takes things as they come. During this time, Cade also deals with the armory, a lot, as he sets up various field kits for Team Libra. Kits that the team can request, so as to not be scrambling as much and coming out under prepared. He's not pushy, though, and accepts advise from the armory on what would work and what wouldn't, but he's firm, too. Team Libra won't suffer for lack of preparation, ever. [B]Today:[/B] Reaching over Z's shoulder, to point at something on the screen, Cade grins as he says, [COLOR="Sienna"]"Oh, I see, so this right here..."[/COLOR] The minutia of the details of the conversation is lost, be it in techno babble or the lowering of tones. Cade's sidearm is visible, as he is carrying it in a concealed holster on his strong side, at the belt, and it leans slightly forward or a quick, tactical draw.
