Hector freezes up when Leo pushes him further into the commons, not daring to move another inch closer. Relieved to see the wild animal doesn’t chase after the Soldier, he stares at it again before looking to Dell. “…but how?” 

Dell raises an eyebrow at the Pyro, doing his best to look confused. “How what? What’s ev’ryone bein’ so weird about t’day?”

Clyde gets his blood up at the sight of Hector, instinctively knowing Pyros to be the enemies of all Spies great and small. He snaps his claws threateningly, which the disguise technology thankfully translates into the crocodile illusion aggressively kneading the couch cushion. Unfortunately there’s nothing it can do to mask the distinctly un-crocodilian-like hiss the angry Spycrab directs at the RED.

Dell’s face twitches. Maybe Hector doesn’t know what kinds of sounds crocodiles are supposed to make.

Hector freezes again when the crocodile spots him, and oh god it doesn’t look happy. “NothingnevermindenjoyyourTV.” He takes off out the door before it can follow.

“Will do!” Dell waves cheerfully after Hector, quickly lowering his head and smothering his laughter in his hands once the Pyro’s gone. Wiping his eyes and trying to get himself under control, he grins at Clyde.

“Atta boy, Clyde. We should enjoy this while we can. It might not be pretty once someone checks their calendar.”

Leo throws his hands up in the air and pushes Hector out of his way again to run out of the room. “There’s a fucking alligator in the fucking Common room! What the fuck?!

Squinting, Hector takes a careful step into the room, still staring at the animal. It doesn’t make any sense, so he figures it’s worth inquiring.“…How.”

“Hector, you’re blocking the door, man, just go inside.” Leo pushes his teammate into the Common room and out of his way, walking straight in and then suddenly spotting the creepy alligator next to Dell. The Soldier nearly jumps right out of his skin.

“What the fuck?! That’s a fucking alligator! Fuck! That’s a fucking—! What the fuck, Dell?! What the fuck do you have an alligator for? What the fuck?! What the fuck?!”

Dell has to bite down on his gums so hard he tastes blood to keep from laughing. Giving the Soldier a faintly amused expression, he reaches down again to seemingly pat the massive reptile’s head.

“Calm down, Leo. It’s a crocodile.”

“Hmmm… Ya got a lot a’ these here…” Dell leafs through the pile of tiny paper masks on his desk, studying each crudely drawn face while Clyde plays with a ballpoint pen. “But which one’d be the best…? Heh! Oh, here we go…”

Pulling out a mask with a snarling crocodile face drawn in green crayon, Dell grins broadly. He plucks the pen from Clyde’s claw, the Spycrab having been thrusting it like a sword, and takes up a long length of string, tying it around the crab. Then he snaps the tiny mask over Clyde’s face and sets him on the floor, holding the other end of the string like a leash and leading him out into the hall and towards the Common room.

“C’mon, Clyde. Let’s go watch some TV.”

Watching from just outside the common room, Hector stares intently at the sight on the couch, hoping for it to become suddenly clear how Dell managed to get a crocodile and get it inside and manage to tame it so he could sit next to it. One thing’s for sure though, the Pyro isn’t taking another step into the room until he figures it out. 

Glancing over at the cowering Pyro, Dell gives him a pleasant smile and wave before turning his attention back to the television, his hand falling to pet Clyde as he struggles to keep a straight face. “Good boy.”

“I’m ratin’ everybody’s asses,” Ben replied matter-of-factly, not bothering to hide his activities. Besides, this little Pyro tended to observe everyone else a lot, too. She probably understood precisely what he was doing.

He gestured out to the room in general. “They walk by, I get a good look, an’ I write it down here. I give ‘em a one if they ain’t got no ass at all, an’ a ten if it’s perfect. Ain’t got a ten yet. But I know there’s one here, an’ he’ll come in eventually.”

Pips popped in for a brief moment, and from the retreating form, Ben frowned a little before writing: “Pips - 4.”

“…Cool.” Without waiting for an invitation, Hotaru crawls over the back of the couch and plops down next to Ben, just close enough to read his ratings so far. “…I watch people, too. But I just draw them. Mostly.”

Dell is pleased to see that for once everyone seems to be getting along. With the weather outside exceedingly unpleasant and trapping both teams indoors, the potential for tensions to run high and fights to break out is through the roof, but so far everyone seems to be coexisting peacefully. The Engineer glances around the bustling Commons as he crosses the room, flanked by Philippe and Arthur, feeling in good spirits (if extremely short), noticing the pool game in progress, the Scouts and Pyros bouncing around, Ben talking with Hotaru and writing in a notebook…

…Actually, that last one is a little concerning. At least they’re already headed to the bar.

“Yeah? That’s good to hear. You guys were all great. Mostly great. Eh, it’s the same with every team. You get some guys you like and some you don’t.  But, you know, I loved being BLU. I was a BLU for four years before this shit. I’m managing, though. There’s some good guys on this team, too.” Leo nods, an amused smile on his face. Dell hadn’t asked, but he’s still pretty sure the Engineer gracefully skirted that issue on purpose. Kind of like the way Jonah doesn’t like to even acknowledge that his brother might possibly not be a virgin at some point in his life.

“You know what? We’ll figure out a way to do something good for everybody before you guys go back to your base. I’ll work something out with Philippe and Grigori. But, uh…” Pulling his watch back out of his pocket, the Soldier checks the time. “That’ll have to wait until after battle. I gotta go get warmed up. I’ll see you out there, man. Me and my rockets.”

“I know what ya mean. I had a hard enough time jus’ bein’ RED for a month. I don’ think I could manage a permanent swap near as well as you. Got too much I’d be givin’ up. An’ I look a lot better in blue anyway.”

Dell had indeed neatly and deliberately avoided that issue. Other people’s sex lives aren’t any of his business, and his concern is better focused on maybe at some point ever getting one of his own. Especially when the person in question is someone he used to play in the sandbox with, he really doesn’t want to think about them sleeping with anyone, even potentially two- …No, he’s not going to think about that.

“Oh, uh… Oh, yeah? That’d be great. Oh…” That’s right. Battle today. They had battles all the time now, far more frequently than he’d ever had before. “Yeah, I’d better wrap it up here, too. Heh, good luck, but if it’s all the same t’ you, I hope I don’ see ya.”

“I’m pretty sure JT is always like that. I’m on the same team, right? Wouldn’t let me use the phone to call my mother on her birthday. On her birthday. You do not miss calling your mother on her birthday when you’re her only child, you know what I’m saying?” Leo shakes his head, brow creasing in a heavy frown as he recalls the horrible things JT said that day. That guy was beyond lucky that he was blood-related to the man he loved, or else the Soldier might’ve ripped his throat out right then. Soon, however, a grin overtakes his features. “I broke his nose, though, for that. But Jonah still doesn’t know about that, so don’t go telling everybody I did that, all right?”

Keeping his face away from Bonnie’s enthusiastic licking, Leo stands up and stretches a little, listening to Dell go on about his other teammates. He grins almost a little dirtily at the mention of the recently-single Engineer. “Yeah, Ben. I know Ben. A lot better recently. Really…generous guy. And you grew up with him? Lucky.”

Dell grins broadly. “Aw, ya did? Heh! That’s great. I won’ tell, but… Yeah, that’s jus’ fantastic. I caved his skull in once. But that was battle, so it might not count.”

Leo’s slight change in expression and tone causes Dell to blink and study him for just a second, but he quickly decides he probably doesn’t want to know. It’s none of his business, he’s certain. “Uhh… yeah. Yeah, he was a couple a’ grades below me, but ran aroun’ t’gether for a few years. Lost touch when we started growin’ up. Y’know how it is. S’been real good t’ see him again. An’ you, too. We, uh… We miss ya over there.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking about that. None of them would really try to use that against you. Maybe JT. But he’s too busy trying to keep Philippe out of the Communications room, am I right?” Leo squats down to rub at Bonnie’s face and head, scrubbing his fingers behind her ears. “Poor little fucker doesn’t even know Philippe breaks in every night. And I only know that because I’ve seen him while I’m getting midnight snacks for me and Jonah.”

For a moment, Leo wishes he had a ball or something to play fetch with Bonnie, but then he thinks better of it. They’re on a roof. You don’t really play fetch on a roof. “I gotta say, it’s nice having you guys around. I know the circumstances aren’t great, but… I’m still not completely used to being RED. Jonah’s great. And I like most of them. Some of them not so much.” The Soldier shrugs. “How are you holding up, eh? Anybody giving you a hard time?”

Bonnie wriggles in place happily, licking all over Leo’s hands and wrists and trying to bounce up to lick his face, while Dell rolls his eyes at the mention of the RED Spy. “You got any idea what’s up that Spy’s ass? I mean, is he always like this or is it jus’ ‘cause we’re bunkin’ here?” The Engineer considers himself fortunate that he’s managed to avoid direct interaction with RED’s only Spy. He’s overheard the arguments others have gotten into with him and knows there’s no way he’d get through a confrontation with JT without twisting his neck like a bottle cap.

“Ah, I’m doin’ alright. Jus’ do my best t’ stay out a’ ev’ryone’s way, ya know? No one’s given me a hard time personally, but it ain’ exactly a welcomin’ atmosphere. Some a’ y’all are alright, though. I’ve known Paul for a little while, an’ that li’l Pyro’s not so bad… Plenty weird, though. Oh, an’ Ben. You’re prob’ly friends with Ben, right? Heh, actually went t’ school with him when we were li’l fellas. Pretty small world.”

With the weather being relatively pleasant lately, Leo had taken to keeping Jonah company some nights when he was up in the watch tower. It was thankfully no longer a nightly chore that the Sniper put himself through, but he still went up there a couple of times a week, just in case. Like last night, for example. And Leo is sure that’s where he’d left his watch.

He rummages around the small area and finally finds it under a couple of stowed sleeping bags. The leather band is worn as hell, leather stripping near one end of the face. The Soldier briefly wonders whether or not he should even be wearing it. If the band gives out, he might lose it for good. Although losing it wouldn’t be the end of the world, it would be incredibly disappointing; it had belonged to his father.

Coming back down the ladder, he’s surprised to find he’s not alone. It seems his former teammate Dell and his big German Shepherd were doing a little sightseeing. “Hey, Dell! I don’t think I’ve seen you up here. Aren’t you afraid of heights, man?”

Bonnie reacts first, jumping and turning with a sharp bark but instantly wagging her tail and trotting over as she recognizes the Soldier. That one used to wear the good color and live with them. And even now he only stinks a little bit of this place. Dell takes a moment to finish fiddling with the flash setting on his camera before following her, grinning at his former teammate.

“Hey, Leo. Oh, well, yeah, but…” He glances around and shrugs. “It’s pretty wide and level up here. I’m fine if I don’ get near the edge. An’ I’m… real glad none a’ your teammates were aroun’ t’ hear ya announce that.”
