Hey, she calls em like she...is vocally capable of callin' em. This friend sounds spooky as hell, but she'll roll with it. Must be an alright sort, she generally trusts Soldat's judgment of character.

"They napping any particular time, or could we head out whenever I've got the name-note down?"

"Usually I visit on my 1600 patrol. If you meet me at the Invincible at 1750 any day you're ready, we can get their, you can come with me." Routine is nice. Unless there's some kind of emergency, or he's summoned by someone during one of their "free time" periods like this (free time sucks, they always find useful things to fill it with; playing cards in the Invincible for an hour a day while they eat lunch is the most they can manage), Soldat's day is close to the same every day. "They aren't always there, but if we're patient and I keep calling, they usually come."

"Tomorrow's enough time to get the notes down, so I can try for that." Sooner the better, but best to not drop this in his lap. "I can definitely do patient. However long it takes, really, I'm excited."

Something new, seen first. The good stuff. "I won't hog you much after this, just wanted to get something set up. It'll be...I mean, hopefully good. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

"You know I don't ever mind spending time with you, Misty," Soldat says. Sure, they have other things to do, but this is technically free time (or rather, "random tasks that need doing" time), and none of their current tasks are in such dire need that they have to get back to them immediately. Plus, lunch that they don't have to make, so they might as well just stay here until it's time to sleep again.

Almost, almost sheepishly, she shrugs, free hand at the back of her neck. "You never let on like you do, I don't think you're just bearing a burden! But you're kind of a man about town, you know. Lots of things to do in a day, lot of people to talk to."

However greedy she'd like to be, there's no sense Soldat-hogging.

"My next patrol isn't until 1600. Most of the time until then I'll be asleep." Hopefully, anyway. There could always be nightmares. It's why they sleep in two shifts, in the hopes that at least one of them was uninterrupted. "I can stay for lunch and talk. Or not talk. Which could also happen."

Military time is something she'd have to think about, so that's out - she'll just assume 'some time, yep' and charge on for the moment. Hard not to grin at the candidness. "Preference, any which way?"

It's easier to use when you can't say "four in the afternoon" or "six in the morning" because there's no afternoon because there's no sun... not to mention easy to remember, when you've been on military time for seventy years. Soldat shrugs with a dry sort of look. "Won't know until we try. Different every day."
