El noticed the tightening of Sphinx's jaw, understood the reaction. He'd yet to meet someone who wasn't surprised with his medical history. All things considered, he shouldn't be in the shape he was in. He should have been in a wheel chair, or using a cane, or at least have a gimp or something. Instead, he'd been just lucky enough not to have done any serious damage. Hell, three of five bullets had gone in and out, straight as could be without hitting anything vital or important. He considered himself pretty lucky, and as such he tended to take more risks than he aught to. He hoped his reckless streak would die down now that he wasn't getting shot at every day, but he knew it would take time. He shrugged as Sphinx spoke of the hell he'd been through. It hadn't really been for his 'country' so much as it had been for those he loved. He could have cared less about the general population, most of them where assholes anyhow. "It seemed like the best option at the time. I don't really have the temperament for collage, though my high school score where through the roof. I figured it would be interesting and the pay's pretty good for a Gunni" He shifted, tugging at Ice's ear for a moment before he snorted at the mans comment about him being 'more of a man' "I'm a Marine Scout Sniper, I'm more of a man than most anyone else in the Forces" He smirked for a moment before the rest of Sphinx's words found his ears and sobered him some. He wasn't used to this sort of thing. He could take praise, though it was rare in the marines, but it was almost uncomfortable coming from this man. He should have enjoyed the words, but they just left him hollow feeling "You don't give yourself enough credit... You were around for a good long while... better than the average run of a father these days. I doubt I would have turned out how I am without that foundation... " Hell, he'd likely have been his Sphinx's boots had the man not been around. He was about to respond to Sphinx's words regarding the hostiles who'd hurt him. About how those guys were long dead and rotting, but his phone chimed once before falling silent. He pulled it out of his pocket just in time for it to beep with Des's text. Flicking a finger across the screen, he skimmed the words before tucking into his jacket pocket "It seems Des is taking your car home, says to take hers..." He chewed over the idea for a second before he spoke "You might as well stay at the house... The pool house is all set up" He wasn't about to mention that he had set it up when he still lived here and it was his room. He wasn't comfortable having this man in the house, it just seemed wrong this soon. Not that he was worried about anyone getting hurt, not with Jason there. He'd just shack up in one of the spare rooms, it would still be better than what he was used to. A real bed would be a nice change. And a scaldingly hot shower... |
