[Soldier: 76 hadn't known that, hadn't lived that part yet. The idea that hunting Shrike down had resulted in a travel companion again was novel after so many years living and fighting alone. His expression was half suspicious and half relieved, even if he would never know it as long as he was here.]
I didn't know that. I wasn't certain what to expect when I went looking for Shrike in Cairo.
[He shrugged though because that was there and not here. All he knew was that he would be making a go for Gabriel as well now that he knew the man was alive after nothing more than crazy theories and rumours.
He looked around as if he could tell which items were Ana's and which were Gabe's. He hadn't been in the house long enough to actually be able to do that, but Ana had always had a certain taste to her things.]
Should have called me earlier. I could have helped clear her place out with you. [That wasn't something someone grieving should have to face alone.
He tilted his head slightly at the idea of a liquor that overtook their massive metabolism as SEP survivors. He'd given up drinking because there was no point doing it for the taste these days.]
...no, I don't remember you saying anything about that. [A beat.] So... we're drinking tonight? You sure that's not dangerous?
