Harrison smirked, and lowered his voice, "Jordan likes the glasses."
Harrison was wound pretty tight too, but he hadn't been giving himself much time to contemplate his misery.
"I don't got time to snap. I'm always getting these texts like, Urgent! I'm dying! Find me! Like I'm the only guy in my division. They don't ask when they go up there, they just wait until they're about to get disemboweled by fog monsters."

"Then he can have them." he drawled lazily "You'll just have to keep guessing what I like I guess."
"Woe is you I guess." he stated, getting oil into the little grooves and crevasses on the surface of Tracey. "I don't get asked, people know pretty well I'm a liability and a newbie. So I'm stuck down here going ******** crazy and drinking more war era hot chocolate than one man should probably ever drink."
He did give the blonde man a grin though. "Maybe you should stop being such an upstanding, handsome and efficient example of a moon. " it danced the line between sarcasm and honesty. "Honestly I have not a ******** clue why they harass you. Mr Defence with a smile."

"You're right," Harrison said, "they're probably just calling me up there to stare at my a**."

"Probably. They are welcome to look." he left the rest of that thought in the air.
He finished off one side of the axe, turning it over to deal with the other, it was impressive how much better he was looking already just from a bit of shine and polish.
"Guess I'll need to get some of that oil stuff if we ever get off the island ever again."

"They start getting grabby, I'll know who to call." Polishing the mechanized skull was easier in some ways. He rubbed concentric circles into the temples.
"You can get some from the Quartermaster. Mine's from Christmas, Candace gave me a real fancy set. The quality's a lot better, B0nez won't let me use the regular stuff now."

He nodded in a surprisingly possessive little way. "Mhm."
"He'll have to settle for the lesser stuff, its better than nothing. I'm not ******** complaining, when a sharp edge is all there is between death and me, I'm pretty happy to do the ******** maintenance."

"That's about my way of thinking," Harrison said. He let the conversation drop for a while, just polishing quietly beside Rep with the piano music and latin singing in the background.
There wasn't any real concept of time down here, and Harrison's normally-strict internal clock had been losing its focus. The polishing was normally a bedtime routine, and with B0nez so relaxed he could feel himself winding down too.
"Probably going to take a nap after this."

The quiet was soothing for Rep too, normally he'd feel the desire to fill it with idle conversation in case of awkward, but it wasn't awkward. It was company he enjoyed and even that fact still surprised him.
As the moon hunter spoke up he glanced over, content and at ease.
"I could.." He trailed off, volunteering to join him before even thinking about the fact that there was a really hard thing to decline if he couldn't be bothered.

Harrison smiled a little. "Yeah. Thanks."
He'd appreciate it. He didn't get much sleep alone. Without contact with somebody that was definitely warm and breathing, he was better off with the beanbags. Walking into the barracks still felt like walking between rows of corpses.

He desummoned Tracey finally, the presence in his mind feeling a great deal less jarring and awkward than before, more at ease and comfortable. Apparently his.. their efforts had gone a long way. He was grateful, though he didn't say it.
He didn't need to say anything else either, just got up from where he was sitting and waited for Harrison to join him for the walk into the dorms.
