[ He waits in the kitchen checking and rechecking the firearm he wants to give her. It needs to be done quickly and he hates that, but it's fine, he's a soldier, he knows what to do. His own gun rests against the table. ]

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. So gimme.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ A shake of the head. ] I can handle it. Gotta check in with Howard anyhow.

Y'gonna be good?

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks.

[yourbestguysgun]

Don't sweat it. Keep checking in, yeah? [ So he can try and not worry. ]

[waitedforyears]

You got it. ( Throwing him a sloppy salute. )
