Nolan continued to pace his room as the hours ticked by, eventually coming to the conclusion that Makarov was pissed at him. He called for this "date" so he could lecture him and then kill him. This was Nolan's final meal.
It only made his anxiety grow. What had he done wrong? Was it the mission? He swore it had gone well.. maybe Makarov didn't think so..
Nolan's eyes flitted over to his clock, realising the time. It was getting late. Makarov did say "tonight". He'd be angry if Nolan was late.. angrier, anyways. So, Nolan grabbed some clean clothes, getting dressed clumsily and leaving to meet Makarov. He wasn't sure if the man actually wanted him to meet him, or if he was supposed to wait, but he figured it might be safer to do so. Just in case.
Outside the office, Nolan took a deep breath, coming to terms with the fact that this was it. This was his end. He had served his purpose and now Makarov was going to throw him away over a meal of steak and wine. With that final thought, Nolan knocked on the door.
The only response he got was a short grunt, convincing him to open the door. Inside, Makarov stood, looking over himself in the reflection of the window, brushing his hair down with his hand. He was dressed nicely, in one of his more expensive suits, all black and grey, with a simple red tie to match.
When he looked over at Nolan his brows furrowed, his face dusted red with what Nolan could only guess was rage.
"..Komandir?" Nolan spoke, his voice more hesitant than he'd like. "You said we were having a date?" He added, looking down at his boots. He felt underdressed now, only wearing some casual black joggers and a white vest with a jacket over the top. He looked stupid compared to Makarov.
"oh, yes. Come, Andrei" Makarov spoke, his voice had a weird tone to it, something Nolan couldn't place. Nonetheless, he nodded, following his Komandir out the office.
The two arrived later at a fancy restaurant, one Makarov had rented out almost completely so they would have privacy. It only served to prove Nolan's point. He was going to be killed. Makarov wanted no witnesses. It also confused him though, why go through all the effort just for him? Makarov usually just shot the poor fuckers and got it over with. This was odd.
Makarov kept glaring at him too, his face flushed bright red, he kept shifting in his chair, occasionally looking away. It made him more nervous, he'd never seen Makarov like this before.
The whole dinner was awkward in Nolan's opinion, he spent most of the time watching Makarov's hands, waiting for him to reach for his gun. Makarov made small talk and asked him weird questions, he tried to answer to the best of his ability but he had a feeling his anxiety was showing.
Makarov kept glaring at him too, seemingly getting angrier as time passed. Nolan still wasn't sure what he did wrong...
