Between Siael, Lilith, and Krynienne, Zeph was certainly developing a wing-related kink, but he did not have the luxury of daydreaming at the moment. Because in a few seconds when the doors of the elevator opened onto the floor of the VIP dining room of the Diablos Ra Loz Resort and Spa, it was go time for him and Squad One. Even if the first half of the meeting was a late formal lunch.
He knew that just his choice to don his off-white patrol cycle uniform instead of his formal dress uniform or even the pure white standard academy uniform was going to ruffle a few feathers of those who wanted to rub elbows with Lilith and he didn't care. It's heavy-duty no-nonsense appearance that includes additional attachment points for radios and spare SLP charge packs and a very prominent version of his Black Badge on the upper right sleeve just below the shoulder sent the message he was aiming for.
Don't test me.
