Myles' heart was still racing fast from his encounter with Frey and that was why his pace from Frey's quarters to Kai's was faster than he normally walked. Eventually Frey was going to put it together that Kai was the guy that Myles was shipping him with - because that was totally what it was. There was limited access to the internet here and therefore ships and an otp had had to be invented therefore Frey/Kai had been born. And Myles had set it sail. Or at least, that was his plan.

If this went well, if he talked to Kai nicely then he could convince Riggins to put the two in a same room together - as long as he got them to exchange messages first. Say Kai 'sent' a message to Frey via Myles, that would make the initial conversation a lot easier. And although Myles would really love sitting through his new otp's first interaction, that was a little over his boundaries. And watching it on the cameras meant that when he squealed like a lunatic he would look completely crazy to the people who were monitoring the footage. People here just really wouldn't understand shipping.

Myles rapped on the door loudly. "Hey Kai! Can I come in?"

"Uhh...alright?" Myles bounded in cheerily and wanted to gasp as he took in Kai in real life - the photo didn't do him justice and oh yes this was going to be such a good ship he could see it now. Kai had chestnut hair and cognac-coloured eyes. There was a sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of his nose and he looked inquisitively up at Myles.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Myles Fyread. I'm bisexual." Myles waited in anticipation. If this reaction was negative then everything he had planned could go south.

"Cool. I'm gay. And I'm guessing you already know my name considering you announced it as you came into the room."

"Yeah, sorry that might have been a little creepy," Myles allowed, biting his lip.

"Just a tad. I'm guessing you aren't a Project though?"

"No. I'm...well I don't know what I am-"

Kai snorted and muttered, "Metaphor for my life."

"-but I'm here to help. I want you guys to get out of here because here sucks and my uncle is here which means it sucks."

"Wait, who's your uncle?" Kai asked, and frowned when Myles let out a huge sigh.

"Priest. Y'know, the evil one? Yeah, him. Anyways. Err...let's not talk about how my uncle is a psychopath who enjoys inflicting pain."

"Well that's probably a good subject to steer away from," Kai chuckled as he tried to make conversation but he was clearly nervous.

"I know!" Myles smile began to widen as he decided on their next topic of discussion, "Let's talk about Frey."
