[ Hernan is indeed home, working out how to deal with their recurring bat infestation. Surely Aurora would grant them some of their security features. The cameras at least so they could monitor who was coming near the property.
He picks up Kirk's approach while he works and notices Kirk's agitation long before he opens his mouth to say anything to him. ]
I think we've accumulated enough points to restore partial functionality to the Tower.
[ He's cheerful as he says it, but then levels Kirk with a more serious look. ]
But if your heart rate is any indication, you did not come here to talk about security features. What has you so agitated, Kirk?
[Kirk agrees something should be done about their persistent Bat infestation. These vigilantes certainly don’t seem to respect other fellows supposedly in the same line of work as them.
But Hernan is right. Kirk is here to talk about something this. He looks back at his dearest friend, seemingly stoic as always]
How do you prepare for a date?
[Despite his expression, Hernan is also right that his heart rate is elevated. He’s nervous]
[Kirk is nearly blushing at what Hernan is strongly implying. There was no use in hiding from his best friend that Vander is a sexual partner for him now]
He didn't seem to have a problem with that last time.
[ Hernan takes quick mental inventory of what's left of his liquor stores and decides there might be a bottle or two he's willing to part with. Something he doesn't particularly care for and won't miss. ]
Fine, you've convinced me. I will help you make this a good date. But in exchange, I expect details.
[ Yes, come home and have a slumber party with your bestie, Kirk. ]
That's how the world will remember me. Considerate and generous with his liquor.
[ All teasing aside, Hernan gives Kirk a more serious look. ]
You should worry less about the structure of the date and more about having fun. Not everything has to be planned out to the finest details. Some of the best dates I've ever had happened when things did not go to plan.

[ He knows that look, but that doesn't stop Hernan from grinning at him. ]
What are you doing on your date and who is your date with?
no subject
[While getting him to dance with him at the same time]
He wants me to have more fun.
no subject
Well, you can never go wrong with black. Maybe a bit of red to go with your eyes.
[ he pauses a moment, considers and then adds: ]
I'd suggest it be something easy to take off too. Your suit has too many damned zippers.
no subject

no subject
[ He gets up and seems like he's sizing his friend up, to figure out exactly what would suit him. ]
A dark vest. Red shirt. You'd look very handsome in that.
no subject
And bring flowers?
[The dry monotone makes it hard to tell if he’s joking or not]
no subject
Don't do that. If you want to bring him something I might be willing to part with a bottle of my top shelf whiskey.
I might.
no subject
Your sacrifice will be duly appreciated if you do. He bartends.

An unofficial mission brief.
no subject
[ Not like Waller's here to gripe about it anyway. ]
no subject
How considerate.
[But he'll do it. Maybe it can be feedback if he goes on another date in the future too...?]
What else should I do on a date?
[Kirk knows Hernan has had his share of flings throughout the years. He must've picked up some things]

no subject
[It's less control than Kirk would like but Hernan does have a point. This isn't like a mission]
no subject
[ he’s probably not kidding ]
no subject
[A corner of Kirk’s lip twitches, almost like a dry smirk. He knows Hernan hasn’t forgotten nor forgiven the incident with the green knife]
Given his own interactions with them so far, he might get tempted.
no subject
[ Seriously it's all jokes. Hahahahahahaaaaaaa. ]
no subject
Maybe not. It might spoil the romance. Maybe you should do the honors.

Ever the generous hero.
