Somehow possible, Nigrum's grin spread a bit more at the mention of work and play. Better yet were all the possibilities. Oh this was going to be interesting.

--

Nigrum stared out the window boredly, humming a distant tune the radio played earlier. He drummed his fingers along the door-handle, his eyes slowly drifting shut as he covered his mouth from a yawn.

Ugh, he hated car-rides. Hardly anything interesting happened in them. Light drowned his vision after they passed...some building, he wasn't too sure with his now blurry eye. He turned his head to get a better look, catching the words "HOTEL GRAND REMNANT." Well, odd safehouse. His eye slowly drifted down as he a girl approach, wrapping her arms around Husk.

Or as he now knew, Lyko. So much for not knowing each other's names. Ah well. He subtly look at Lyko from the corner of his eye, his tired face spreading into a grin. It didn't take a genius to figure out what they're relationship was, or that Husk clearly didn't mention this little outing. He opened his mouth to reply, about to jokingly say the truth, then quickly cover it up, but he stopped himself mid-way.

He read over the girls face, registering only one emotion that caught his eye.

Concern.

Immediately, his mind flashed over to the image of one girl in particular, imaganing her in the same situation. He quickly frowned, one aimed at himself, though something which became a friendly grin before either party could notice.

"Hey there, Nigrum Leicent," he greeted politely, "nothing much, unless you count a few beers as exciting. Met your boyfriend here at a bar, had some drinks, chatted, though he was kind of a dick about it. Needed a ride back, mentioned he had a truck, so bought him a few more beers in exchange for a ride. Said he needed to make a quick detour though to see his girl, and after seeing how po-si-tiv-ly beau-ti-ful you are, I can say it was well worth it."

There was one easy to avoid given someone an answer you didn't want to, and that's by giving only half the answer and redirecting them into something else. From the looks of it, if he mentioned their relationship enough, it should drag her away from the what's in truck question, and how he worded it made it seem like it was only him.

It might be dangerous to keep her talking, so distract her with something further.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, how'd you two hit it off? Been meaning to do the same with a teammate of mine." Ignoring the fact they were already an item...More or less. "wait, don't tell me."

At this, Nigrum snapped his fingers, a knowing grin spreading across his face. "'Ah, it just sort of happened. Well, he liked me, and I liked him, and we teased each other about it, and, well...ya know?'" He mimicked in a voice similar to the girl's, shyness included and everything.

By all means, he wasn't a good actor, but impersonating others was a speciality of his. With all the work he was putting in with no entertainment benefit though, he  was definitely filing this under the "you totally owe me tab," something he made sure Lyko notice with a glance.
