"Ha ha ha I hear ya there, had several female friends with the marines. You guys have to have bigger balls then most your squad mates!" He laughed and downed the guiness quickly, "Another please?" He lifted the glass to the bartender who was happy to oblige. "Well that's gotta be a lonely life, but I'm our line of work it's to be expected huh?"

Nora raised her eyebrow. "Thirsty, eh?" She laughed and sipped from hers.
"Well, you wouldn't understand. All the girls go crazy for a military man. You must have it easy. I, on the other hand, don't." Nora sighed. "It shouldn't matter what my 'line of work' is. If I'm flipping burgers in a Burger King, who cares? If I'm kicking ass overseas, who cares?"
She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. "It's hard being a girl."

"Hard being alive," he said and swished the froth around the mug, "My ex was a spy, tried to use me and I found out too late." He shrugged, "Some times life just sucks." He added half laughing as he took another swig of the dark brew. "How long are you on leave for?" He raised an eyebrow to her.

Nora looked at him shocked. She had been expecting that scenario the least. She shook her head in surprise and drank the rest of her beer. She motioned for another one and glanced at him.
"Just a year. They think I'm mentally unstable and want me to get used to civillian. Bullshit I'm unstable." She frowned and then chuckled at how stupid it sounded. She grabbed the new beer and pressed it against her forehead. A dull headache was beginning to form.

Walter couldn't help but laugh, "I think anyone that does SpecOps is touched a bit. It comes with the territory. I mean who in their right mind would jump from a perfectly good airplane and over enemy territory at that." He smiled broadly and asked for another Guiness. This time he sipped it instead of chugged it. "So why come to LA for leave? Family?" He asked and leaned against the bar top to look at her.

Nora laughed and shook her head. "We're all crazy, I guess. It's just some are a little more than others." She drank from her beer as he asked his question.
"Nope. My parents were my only family." And now they're both dead, she thought to herself. "I chose LA because it was near the beach. And a base is here, too."
Nora shrugged her shoulders and finished off the rest of her beer. Her head was fuzzy, and normally she wouldn't have gotten a buzz so fast, but she hadn't had alcohol in a while. Her tolerance was down. If Nora got drunk, that meant all of her walls would crumble, and anything could happen.

"Most people hightail it from base when they get off deployment." He laughed and took a bit more of his draught. He felt a bit tense talking informally to a sarge, if any mp's or ma's caught them it would be a bad day but he really didn't care right now despite it. Nora had downed that one pretty fast, "Need a top off? I know how you army guys get after a beer maybe you should slow down." He smirked at her playfully tossing the insult.

Nora crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. "So, what, you're saying everyone in the Army are a bunch of drunks?"
She chuckled. In all the military groups of the US was a slight competitiveness. There always had been. "Well you Navy men are fucking crazy, I'll give you that much." She beamed and laughed. The bartender set another beer down in front of her. She turned to him.
"How 'bout some whiskey?"

"Careful, whisky might make you puke little girl." He said and raised two fingers to the bartender who promptly set two shot glasses down and poured the Jack into each. "Slantja." Kav said and bottomed the shot without flinching.

"I'm a big girl. I'm sure I can handle myself." Nora laughed and grabbed the whiskey. She likewise downed it without flinching. She motioned for another one. Her head was definitely buzzing now.
"So are we just gonna sit in this bar all night? Or are we gonna walk the town or what?" Nora laughed. She was chalk full of pent up energy, and she was ready to move.

"Waiting on you ground pounder," He laughed and did a double shot of jack and finished his drought before standing up. "What you wanna do, I actually just made land fall today and have zeeeero plans." He shoved his hands in his pockets and shrugged.

Nora downed her last shot of whiskey and likewise stood. She sighed. "Same here, actually." She put her finger on her chin and thought about it. Her lips were pursed and her eyebrow was arched.
"I don't know....walk the town? Or see a movie? It's been a while since I've seen me some good American film." Nora laughed. She grabbed Walter's hand and tugged him outside so they were less crowded.

Walter let himself be dragged from the bar with no fuss, "Well, they have a horrorfest going right now, some Bruce Willis movies, and a couple kissy face movies up the street." He mentioned shooting a help me look at the roto crew as they passed.

Nora frowned. "Horror movie it is, then." She had never really been a squeamish girl, and she loved a good horror movie every now and then. Realizing that she was still holding Walter's hand, she dropped it. Her face was bright red.
"Or, y'know, this could be the end of this...whatever the hell it is." Nora smiled half-heartedly; she wasn't really sure if Walter was even the least bit interested in her.

"Nora, I'll take you on one date," He said brightly, "You see if we get caught, you get boned." He smiled at her, "I'm in the G pay grade, if you get caught with me you will get tried for fraternization." he explained as he lead the way towards the theater. One date he could explain easily.

Nora sighed. She knew it was all true. Since when was being in the Army so difficult?
"Both our asses will get kicked. I had strict orders from my CO to do nothing concerning the military...I've only been back for twelve hours and I've already broke orders." She smiled slightly.

"Hey I'm ex, military. Soon to be existing..." He added and stopped to mull it over for a second. "Odd, it's an odd feeling knowing your about to never be." He laughed and kept walking.

Nora smiled, but didn't say anything. She crossed her arms and stared at the ground while she was walking. The buzz was gone but a dull headache had taken it's place. She sighed.
"I really don't want to go back there, but I do." She wondered if he understood what she meant.

"It's a coping mechanism," He replied and stepped up to the ticket booth, "Jason or Freddy?" He asked Nora with a soft smile on his face. She was still trying to deal with her losses. He knew the feeling, not too much a difference in their lives. Neither of them could talk to their parents again, difference was his were still alive. They knew he has set out to dissapear so when he was announced dead they never beleived the chiefs that told them.
