I was waiting for you to start acting more like a soldier and less like an entitled civilian.
You're not a Spartan, but you are one of Marshal Hansen's men.
Then stop by [location] for any materials you might need.
[ he's quiet for a moment, and he doesn't say it's because you're dead, son because they both know it's true. for all of them who had gone on when Chuck had detonated the payload— ]
Noted.
[ because it means it's possible Herc might see him, too. ]]
She spoke to you, she knows it isn't real.
We'll round up when this shit's dealt with.

[ she spoke to you, she knows it isn't real he says. chuck's gaze cuts to the side. his mother's voice crawls up his spine and hums in his head for a handful of heartbeats- but it feels like it stretches on forever. it's his fault, it's his fault this happened. i'm dead and you're alive. why are you alive baby? he swallows, shakes his head. squares his shoulders. why are you alive ranger hansen. ]
Got it.
[ she knows it isn't real, he said. chuck listens to the drum of his own pulse until he can't hear them anymore, and he wonders how long any of them will be able to be sure. ]

[ there's a silence there Herc, look what you did. how could you let our boy die? that Herc knows and he straightens his shoulders, doesn't glance to his left where there's a ghost of a woman watching him with piercing eyes. ]
On point.
[ he says, as much to Chuck as himself, because one of them had to keep them on target while the other came out swinging ]

[ chuck tugs them on half to have something to do. a place to turn his attention, something tangible (safe, neutral) to focus on. it's always been in his nature to turn outward- avoid introspection at every possible turn, and this isn't any different. chuck won't let it be any different. ]
Avoiding Becket?
Avoiding Becket?
[ There's a moment when Mako simply looks over at Chuck and glares at him, glares as if he's broken some cardinal rule to the limits of the conversation. Not that Mako should be surprised, that was what Chuck did after all. He look the carefully constructed confines of things and then proceeded to unapologetically break them down, one by one by one.
He asks about Becket. She returns the favor. ]
Avoiding me?

Avoiding me?
[ this is a phone call wherein Herc's anxiety is slowly climbing to impossible levels ]
