( Since we're all supposed to be real close and buddy buddy around here, anyone care to fill me in on your skills or training?

I'm not going to drill you and ask you to run laps, I promise. Not today at least.

... Unless you're with me, then you better be on the tenth lap and not a nap )

[You know who you are.]

( I'm thinking it's not going to be a respectful suggestion but yeah. )

[Since, you know, he does the exact same thing, but without asking permission or offering apologies.]

( Can you cut back on the nihilism a little bit? We're all gonna die some day, but until then we're all sharing a certain amount of close quarters, so to speak. )

[If she's not comforting Seviilia that she is in fact mortal, it's this guy with his deathwish. Is the Nest just attracted to goth poetry or something?]

( I'm just trying to get through the week, alright? )

[servitor]

( I'm just trying to get back and make sure no one dies here in the process. )

[Not that he won't try to cut back. It's that seeing your own corpse from someone who's ten years ahead of your time kind of fucks you up a little. Hard to not track back to that entire scenario.]

( I'm not used to the whole brain thing. I'll try to keep my not-so-private thoughts private. )

[At least he's sincerely apologetic? At least he's the most normal one from Insomnia?]

[Shepard holds fast to her own shielding, putting the memory of her own death firmly out of mind. Suffering isn't a competition, but even if it were... Then letting two old soldiers trigger flashbacks at one another all night would not help anyone win anything.]

( Thanks. ) [It's perfunctory, gratitude in the automatic, socially acceptable way, meant more for the intention than the inevitable result.] ( You actually think any of us are going back. )

[servitor]

( It's not that I think, it's that I have to get back. No matter what. )

[Such a hero, this one. It's just duty, though. Duty to get back and make sure it gets worse for it to get better.]

( Whether or not it happens is another story but I can't sit back and not try. )

[earthborn]

[Well, she had asked for less nihilism. This is technically the opposite of that. Sort of.]

( I mean, you could. But I get it. )

[servitor]

[People are fun like that.]

( At least you're the first one not to be openly hostile for that train of thought,
so thanks for that. )

[Kind of a nice change of pace, despite that he's used to it by now since the start of his service.]

[earthborn]

( What, really? For fuck's sake. )

[Looks like he's not the only one who needs to cut down on the depression coffee what the hell]

[And then, there it is. Just a laugh, if a quiet one. It's true, all of it.

But he takes it all in stride. It's difficult to actually piss him off, and then it takes a lot more effort to goad him to break his composure.]

( Yeah, really. Everyone here thinks I've got an agenda and so far you'e the only one who's not blaming me for anything. Good going. )
