Wallabin's frankly boring visits were starting to become commonplace at the Gladsheim base; to the point where even Locke was getting dirty looks from the fellow soldiers. When he slanted his glance their way, they usually shut up their gossiping and returned to what they were doing, though. One would think they'd be used to it by now, but they didn't cease to find amusement in Locke running the duo around. (They always silenced themselves when Gearhorn turned up, though.)
Luckily for Weiler and Locke, they were allowed a break from Wallabin while he met with Gearhorn and several other officers. (More demands to be met, more money to be donated and the like, Locke was sure.) There weren't many safe places to talk on base, unfortunately. He didn't even trust his own quarters.
There was only one place that he knew would be safe, due to the sheer loud volume of it; the cantina. It was less than glamorous, and the drinks they had to offer were definitely not as exquisite as the bar they had gone to. The company even less so. It was with a little reluctance that Locke suggested it.
"We could kill some time at the cantina," he had said, "but I don't think you'll like it."

Something was odd about it, though. Commander Foster was in special ops. What would they have to do with Wallabin? Given the recent attack on the Circle by his sector, Locke felt some apprehension about the situation. They would have to be careful.
At the entrance of the base, Locke had managed to maintain his stoic military posture and expression. He did manage a polite smile, though, as he usually did with seeing off Wallabin.
"It was a pleasure to have you again, sir," Locke said politely with a slighter bow than he gave the General.
And, as usual when seeing off Weiler, he allowed for a small display of affection. A kiss on the cheek this time - that could've been seen as friendly, really - and a more serious whisper of, "Call me later."
