I'll have you know, it's slightly insulting to have that requested of me, as it's something I hardly consider a favor. I already have every intention of doing just that.
She's been a soldier, and she's stubborn. If it irritates her, feel free to blame me for it.

By the way I made contact with Jack. He's with Dagger. We'll stay in contact if we can, try and stay up to date if anything changes. I'll keep you informed.

If I can't get to you, watch her back for me. I'll return the favour whenever you need it.

Well then, I'm glad that she has friends like you. No offence intended, obviously. I'm still grateful, whether it's a favour or not.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
Most likely she'd say she doesn't need protecting at any rate.
no subject
I would do the same for you, should your situation parallel ours eventually.
It's hardly protecting as it is keeping our own forces alive, if she'd prefer to see it that way.

Now I'm beginning to think you simply want to claim all the credit.

Please do. Let him know I won't be thrilled if he's unable to return. I still refuse to write a eulogy for him.
no subject
Oh, believe me: I'd be in nothing but trouble if she knew.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
Did he actually ask you that? He's ever so dramatic. I'll tell him that much.
no subject
I'm certain she'd have some inkling by this point, either way.
FROM: carter.margaret@cdc.org
Something related to one, yes, albeit for very different circumstances. And please, do.
no subject
I can't imagine what would give her the idea.

By the way, how did you fare in yesterday's fight? I didn't see you afterwards, though I'm assuming all was well.
no subject
You know her far better than I do.

I was caked with blood and entrails so think my hair was plastered to my scalp. [Meaning she was as fine as she was gonna be.]
no subject
So long as it wasn't your own blood, I'll have to take that as a win.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
Though I assume you look as lovely as ever, now.
no subject
Some of it was, I'm sure, but not nearly as much as it could have been.

Flattery will get you nowhere.
no subject
So quick to assume it’s flattery and not simple truth. Really, Ms Carter – you’re far too suspicious.
no subject
Regardless if it is or not, stating as such in the manner you have really does make it hard to see things otherwise.
[Despite the fact everything falls under playful banter at this point...]

Flattery is in the eye of the beholder, much like beauty. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to take a compliment, would it?
no subject
I can think of a few less desirable options, you're right.
no subject
I thought so. But then, perhaps I’m not the one you want to hear it from.
no subject
What I'd like to hear from anyone isn't the issue. Perhaps you'd be better off telling someone else something similar.
no subject
That's fair. Preference duly noted, Ms Carter.
no subject
Thank you. You'll be updated.

As will you.
