Raised on tit and vodka, Ryker could throw back the drinks as hard as anyone. But he kept a close side eye on Nox throughout the flight, once it became apparent he was throwing back his body weight in bottles. Ryker completely abstained, meanwhile. Despite knowing how to party, and party hard, Ryker was quite professional when on assignment. He wanted his wits about him, more so because the destined country was one that already locked him up and threw away the key. It wouldn't happen a second time.
The plane ride was uneventful. He was amazed that the child was so quiet. A thought did occur to him though. Could he use his “influence” to make the thing stop crying? Suppose if it ever came to that, it was worth a shot. Worse that could happen was overdoing it and accidentally commanding it to die.
The hotel was fine. Ryker preferred the lap of luxury, but he could slum it when needed in a fleabag suite; he was playing the middle class asshole, after all. This place would suit Ryder’s identity.
He spoke briefly with Nox and Sage regarding plans. While the two blowholes were going to nap and eat, Ryker had check-ins to complete for team leader. He departed to the privacy of his own room to do just that. Afterward, they met up when the meal arrived.
Trained to operate on days without sleep, Ryker left the two behind to fuck each other or whatever while he went on a short scouting tour of the city.
