As if humans get too old for that. Or anything. And it's not the bad sort of bickering, if you catch my drift.

[vonkrieg]

[Oh. Oh. This is taking an unexpected turn.]

FROM: bott.marco@cdc.org

Like an old married couple then? I kind of got the feeling she doesn't dislike him as much as she says she does. I wasn't going to jump to any conclusions though.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Like an old married human couple, yeah. Definitely not the way my species does things. But it's fun to watch. And sooner or later they're gonna clue in.

[vonkrieg]

[He supposes he should stop assuming everyone on the crew is a human, considering one of his own roommates is a cat.]

FROM: bott.marco@cdc.org

It's usually just an expression. Not every married couple argues all the time. But you think Jean could feel the same way?

[It's not outside the realm of possibility. Jean has already been here for the better part of a year, and a lot can change in that stretch of time. With how chaotic everything has been since Marco found himself on the Neheda, he hasn't had the chance to spend as much time with any of his classmates as he had before, and so he hasn't heard so much as a peep of Mikasa pining from Jean.]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Not as much, yet. But it's growing and it's far more than either of them sees coming. All they have to do is stop and think. Then they'll see it. But they're young. It'll take some time still.

I see. Whatever may happen, I hope both of them can be happy. I don't know Ino well, but she seems very spirited and strong-willed. And Jean is my best friend.

[God, they'll probably need a heart-to-heart or something.]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Good description of her. And I didn't know you were Jean's best friend. Known him since childhood? Or service together?

[This sounds promising, as well as interesting. Garrus likes people who likes his... flock, or whatever they are.]

[vonkrieg]

FROM: bott.marco@cdc.org

Service together, graduated from the same training class. We ended up getting partnered up for a lot of training assignments since our grades were pretty similar.

[Which is, apparently, as good of a reason as any to become friends. Not that it was the sole reason, but it had kickstarted the whole thing.]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

That's a lot of history together. I'm glad he has you here.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

And vice versa. Don't wanna imply you're just here for him and him not for you. I mean, he's a good guy, and he knows how to support back.

[vonkrieg]

FROM: bott.marco@cdc.org

I know. He's very reliable. I'm happy more people are beginning to see that. He's really grown up a lot since our training days.

[He's left feeling that he needs to catch up, in a way, especially now that he knows precisely why there were so many blanks to fill in between the Jean he had become accustomed to and the Jean he's getting to know here. He can't be quite the same person he was back then either, but he doesn't know in which direction he should grow.]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

More people will notice as time goes by. He's Blue, and they're gonna have a lot of attention paid to them. Though you're Blue too, so take that as a head's up.

[The young Garrus knows here are starting to grow up fast, and for their sake that's a good thing. It also makes him pretty proud of the ones he's keeping an eye on.]

[vonkrieg]

FROM: bott.marco@cdc.org

I'll keep that in mind, sir. And I'm sure he'll rise to the occasion. He might be on Gray now, but Blue will be lucky to have him back when the time comes.
