Nah. It's just me and my brother, butting heads. We've been doing it since he was able to talk.

[he looked off into the distance though. There was more to it, but not something that he should just be telling anyone. Especially when it concerned Ben]

[She watches him for a minute, before shrugging.]

I never had any siblings. It was just me and my mom until my dad came back.

You're welcome to mine if you want to get a taste of having siblings.

[she smirks.]

Sure thing. I'll just adopt one of them and take them off your hands.

I'll even put a big bow on Ben's head for you. You can use it to strangle him later.

[She shakes her head.]

Nah, me and Ben get on okay. I think we'd be fine.

Well, good luck to you both. Maybe you can get through to him where I can't.

I'll do my best.

And if you want, I can give you half custody of Matty too.

[he loved his baby brother and wouldn't get rid of him completely.]

Nah, I think it's just better to split them down the middle.

Alright. [he smiled a bit to himself]

So I haven't seen you in a few days. Things going alright with you?

Me? Yeah! Everything's ... fine.

That sounds so convincing. [Hal chuckled, giving her shoulder a nudge]

[She shakes her head.]

I just had some stuff I needed to take care of. I got nicked on the last run, needed a few days to rest up, that's all.

[aka, needed to make sure no one could see that she bled white as opposed to the usual red.]

But you're good now, right? I mean, if you're still hurting, you should be resting.

No, I'm five by five. I'll be fine.

[get a nice, confused look]

Five by Five?

Spend all this time around military and you haven't picked it up yet? It means all good.

Some of it doesn't make sense and not about to ask Weaver to translate phrases to me.

[She laughs.]

It makes sense once it's explained.

I still don't get how someone would have thought up a phrase five by five to mean you're alright.

Then maybe you should ask around and find out.

so you're not going to take pity on me and just tell me yourself?

[she gives him a look.]

I was a professional student. Look it up.

Point me to a wifi connection and I'll get right on that.
