[sarkazm]

The way that they act about it. I'm not going to explain myself every single day.

[noirges]

You are a little brusque.

[ but his tone is teasing... he's sure that wis'adel knows exactly how she comes off ]

... but I get it. You're just trying to exist too, right?

[sarkazm]

That's all we've ever done.

[her, and every other sarkaz.]

[noirges]

Okay.

[ nods... ]

Then... if you ever get too frustrated, then you can let me know and I'll try to help. I know everyone means well, but I don't want you to have to deal with that alone.

[sarkazm]

[well, by now he might expect the answer to be exactly what it is:]

I'll pass! I can fight my own battles just fine.

[noirges]

I know you can.

But it must get annoying.

[ just to borrow her own words? ]

[sarkazm]

And I'll deal with it if it's too much of a pain in the ass.

[but she definitely doesn't need anyone to help with that.]

[noirges]

You're really independent, Wiš'adel...

Has it always been like that?

[sarkazm]

Yes? I've worked in squads most of my career, don't get me wrong, but I work best independently.

[noirges]

Does that mean we can't be friends...?

[sarkazm]

We've barely been here a week! What do you want that for, anyway.

[noirges]

[ help he laughs ]

Because I like you.

I don't expect you to feel the same, but I do admire you. Is there any other reason to want to be friends with someone?

[sarkazm]

Bad decision, but whatever.

[yves your fucking taste.]

I'm not promising it'll be easy.

[noirges]

Do you think I'll give up?

[sarkazm]

A girl can hope!

[noirges]

Do I annoy you too...?

[sarkazm]

You're not the only one who's all, "oh, but why won't you be my friend," as if there's any point to it when we'll be here for two months.

[noirges]

Hmm... I think it makes sense for friendship to be something to earn. I won't blame you if you don't want to be my friend.

[ he's realistic ]

Even still, I don't think that means relationships fail to matter just because they might be short.

[sarkazm]

Maybe not.

[she shrugs, tail flicking.]

But I don't go into relationships 'just because', that's all.

[noirges]

[ nods ]

Then... is it because you're assigned to work in a team?

[sarkazm]

Not always. But I'm not assigned these days, anyway-- I've got my own men to look out for.

[noirges]

Oh? What're they like?

[sarkazm]

They're all reliable mercs. Usually experts in recon, mine-laying, mapping paths... and, of course, the backup to make sure those guys can do their jobs.

One of my squad leads, Crane-- we lost him in the last mission, but he always ran a good crew. Tire's been doing a good job in his place, and Bolt and Rust have really picked up the slack.

[noirges]

Ah...

[ he nods in response ]

I'm sorry to hear about Crane. What do your missions normally entail?

[sarkazm]

Depends! Last time... that assignment was to defend an objective and keep an eye out on the surrounding area. I left the boys in charge of that for a little solo work.
