[Dell accepts the hug, gripping his friend tightly in return, a matching grin on his face.]

Damned good to see ya, Tavish. I don't know how much longer I could keep palling around with all these Disney movie rejects 'fore I lost my mind. You know they tried to elect a damn jaguar as a mayor? Sounds like somethin' right outta Solly's head.

[He shakes his head, sympathetic.]

Been a while since I worked retail, but I agree with ya. Lord knows I was more in danger as a cashier on a Black Friday than I ever was on the battlefield with y'all.

... Huh. How long you been here, Tavish? 'Cause I've been here... Shit, since middle of April? I ain't seen the team since I got here.
