Ashley had at least a few hours before he would be moving out with the rest of the forces. He went to one of the more private restaurants that were available for those that were in the Twilight Strays. He sat down in what looked liked a high end café and took a booth more towards the back. He had his mask and cloak off. For the moment he ordered a lemonaide and a sample platter of the best appetizers that the place had. He did pull out a small smart phone and turned on the holo screen and was watching current events and other treads going on. He hoped that most of the other strays were ready for a war like this. Since it was there job but some had never seen true fighting like what they would be fighting. He did ask for a bigger budget for psychiatric help, since Ashley wanted to cut down on the PTSD on his soldiers. This was not showing his weakness of softness. The young man wanted to have his men and women fighting at a constant fighting strength, but knew that they were all human or at least other beings. Since he now had other alien races to work with and understand. But for now Ashley wanted to relax and placed that into the back of his head. So he took another sip of his sweet but tart drink while watching a TV series that he had been following.

Samantha Checked herself in the mirror of the room that she was occupying with another pilot. She had one her new uniform and itched at her collar, the stupid thing was new and itchy and kind of stiff but she assumed all military uniforms where like that it sucked getting her tail through the modified pants she wore. Samantha walked out of the bathroom and out of the room as well she made her way to the restaurant where she found a booth and sat down. She flicked an ear as she read over the menu before ordering a strawberry shake, she didnt know why she picked it just that it looked good to her. And when it arrived she took a sip and let out a little squeak of joy as it tasted good, though she did look around and lowered her ears blushing a bit as she realized the squeak was a bit loud and now people where looking at her. She gave a embarrassed smile and sipped at her shake.

As Ashley was waiting for his food he spots a fox girl walking in and knew it was Samantha. One of his new recruits and gotten some flak for recruiting by Miori. But in the end it died down and as he drank his lemonaide his appetizer came from the kitchen and would pass by her table. The platter would be very enticing for Samantha as there would be several Italian styled foods on there. The waitress did ask if he wanted a refill and gave a nod and went to refill it. Ashley himself was not sure if to approach her or not. He was not shy but it seemed that Samantha was good on her own. Perhaps it was his over proffesionalisim was why he distanced himself a bit from others. He shook his head on the matter and desided to break some of that professional barrier he had. This was a off hours break he was taking "Ms Collins I think one's self should enjoy the company of others then being alone" he called out to her.
Since he at least sometimes went down to the messhall sometimes and sat down with his troops to play a few rounds of poker. Sometimes he would win and other times he would let them to win. So that he would appear more human then always winning. This shot up there moral as well make better bonds with his subordinates that would make strong levels of loyalty. To the point that they would die for him or over perform the normal soldiers. This was a reason why most commanders respected him even though he was much younger then them.

Samantha noticed the platter but she was enjoying her shake for the moment.She perked her ears up hearing her name and turned around to face Ashley. It would take her a few moments to remember who he was as she was still having a hard time remembering things. "I dont really have anyone to enjoy company with." she said "Unless your offering." the comment wasnt meant to be suggestive but the way her tail flicked could make some think it is. She sipped her shake again savoring the seemingly forgotten taste.
