[He grunted softly in agreement. He had been on a single mission so far, and it had seemed extremely pointless. He wasn't certain what it proved when it came to whether or not their worlds deserved to continue to exist, and if anything, they were put in a situation where it almost seemed designed to fail for most of them. Too few details, too little time to operate, too many people segregated.
She had clearly been on more missions than he had, and he appreciated her being united on the feelings he had not been able to verbalize properly.] Did we even save anything as a group? If was very disjointed. Are other missions like that, or was that just a particularly bad one?
[He considered her attempt at levity, realizing it was the backbone of how they coped with such situations when together.] Does he even like anyone, or is he just one of those types who has an agenda and won't stray from it no matter what? [He had worked with (read: wrangled) those types in the past, and they could be difficult to interact with, less willing to be part of an overall group effort without seeing it as a step closer to their end goal.] And I assume because if a man is willing to die for you, he's also keeping track of who you associate with.
[He could see the red flags already.]
You can just say it was sex and not to be emotional about it, right? You haven't revealed many of your secrets, so there's still plenty for me to learn. Such a mystery. [He did mean that sincerely. He did like the banter, and he was enjoying the brief expansion into seriousness too. Multifaceted flirting or something.]
