[It's never anything drastically important, or anything terribly "serious", as much as he'd hate to use a loaded term like that. They're friends in the same business, is all, and they've at least got an understanding there. If he gets bored, he rings Wade, and they go out and do... something. Anything. Killing time between jobs (that they've made very sure to not have intersect again, thanks very much) and blowing off steam together quickly becomes their routine as the time goes and goes.

Not that it bothers Travis. Doing nothing with somebody (and occasionally doing, heh, something), he's always thought, is the true test of getting along on the long term, and he likes Wade. He's a good guy, and he hasn't gotten to really waste time with somebody on a regular basis since Bishop. It's comfortable, and not an arrangement he's looking to budge on anytime soon.

Because Wade's a damn good friend, all things considered. ...Emphasis on "friend".

And to further emphasize that "friend" part, they've taken to proving they can wingman for each other and for the love of god it's gonna work this time.

Travis sighs, dials the familiar number, and waits for the ringing to stop.

Hey, we still goin' anywhere tonight?

[Well. That certainly went better than expected. Looks like Travis doesn't really need his help anymore. Wade flashes them both a grin.]

Well then! I'm gonna let you two kids get acquainted. Pretty sure there's a whole selection of beverages I haven't gotten to peruse yet. Oh, and here-- [He sets the keys to his bike down on the bar next to Travis.] Just take good care of it, okay? Might not be the sweetest ride, but it's mine. Don't do anything that I wouldn't do, now.

[With a wink in their direction, Wade takes his leave of them, taking a seat at the far corner of the bar. He grins as he watches Travis work-- the guy's a little on the awkward side as far as flirtation goes, but Rosalyn seems to be receptive to his dorky charms. Looks like his foray into wingmanning was a big success tonight.

Now if he can just get rid of the urge to go over there and interrupt them, everything would be hunky-dory.

It had snuck up on him without warning, the jealousy. He supposes it's only natural-- after all, once she'd caught sight of Travis she'd barely paid any attention to Wade at all. And although it was his job to get Travis a date... well. He can't help but be a little burned by it; a little resentful of her.

But why shouldn't she pick Travis over him? After all, he's known the guy long enough to get a good indication of all of his good points. He's clever-- when he needs to be, anyway-- it takes a special type of person to keep up with Wade's banter. He can be quite funny, and very easy to get along with when you've got something in common with him. He's interesting, intriguing, a blast to hang out with, not to mention he can be surprisingly sweet and thoughtful if you just give him a chance and--]
