Thalia's Plotter

Best buddies? Best buddies. She introduced herself and they hit it off immediately. Their department and schedules don't quite align more often than not, but they do hang about HQ at times to catch up.

Maybe Autumn ocassionally pays visits to his office to make sure he hasn't died drowned under a mountain of paperwork?

GAWAIN, as has been established, does not often have free time, but what little he has he usually spends in a 70s style dinner on the way home from the train station at sector 5, top plate. It is a charming place! Mom & pop's style business, good if simple food, and the best goshdarn Jukebox 30 years running, Ol' Barbra!

... Maybe it's a bit on the quaint side for a high class lady like Autumn? Maybe she gets to pick where they hang out on the few times they get to.

Though recently GAWAIN has found a nice little jazz bar were they could also chat and have fun.

Ambitious or not, this is anime, Thalia m'gal! You've already been noticed by the overealous and weird Mentor-like figure! Tsuntsun or deredere, there's nothing left but to grow and flourish now!

Love it!

GAWAIN will try to be subtle at first at the very least, in the way he casually slides missions her way whether she likes it or not, but expect headpats eventually!

I like this idea! GAWAIN would certainly want to figure out what happened to the succesful(?) journalist he spoke with all those years ago.

You see, while he and ROUND TABLE hold relatively high ranks and authority within the Shin-Ra army, they are by no means members of the inner circle of Shin-Ra, and as such, not at all privy to the information regarding all manner of dark ops performed by Shin-ra to stomp out any opposition. GAWAIN has certainly participated in quite a few... but he ain't privy to anywhere near most of them.

His loyalty to Shin-Ra is very strong, but it's always fun to put it to the test with stuff like this!
