once tritant came on screen, Gabe hummed. “sí, papi! me gustas! soy gay como el infierno!“ he said, clapping in between words. a few people started to laugh, and so did Gabe.

/translation: yes, daddy! i like! im gay as fuck!

Jack looked over at Gabe. He didn't speak a word of Spanish. He rose an eyebrow. After a moment, a taller male moved over to Jack, leaning on the back of the chair Jack was sitting on. Jack tensed up a bit, lookig over at him. "For the record, the commander is gay. Looks like you've got a chance." The man said, smirking. Jack looked him over, a bit shocked.

"I...What?" Jack asked, watching him. "I'm sorry I'm not...Not interested." Jack murmured. The man chuckled.

"Oh don't worry. I'm just messing with you." He said, smiling. "The name's Emre by the way. It's nice to meet you." he said, smiling. Jack nodded.

"Yeah...It's nice to meet you too, sir." He said. Emre rolled his eyes.

"God don't start getting formal on me." He said.

Gabe snorted and whacked one of the man on the floor in the back of his head, speaking in spanish for a moment and nodding, laughing. someone in front yelled ‘this bitch the only girl in the ocean who’s bra don’t match her tail!’ and Gabe burst into laughter, throwing a piece of popcorn at him. “she’s making a fashion statement, fuck off!”

[Leafwing12]

Jack watched them silently. Emre chuckled softly. "Don't worry Jack. I know you're still new here, so it;ll take time. But, you don't have to be timid around us. We're like a family here. And you'll fit right in." he aid. Jack sighed, looking away from the other. Emre patted his shoulder before heading off to the others.

he smirked and as it came to ariel making a deal, Gabe shook his head. “hoe, don’t do it.” he said and a woman near him snorted. “you know what’s gonna happen Gabe!” she said and Gabe chuckled. “doesn’t mean i can’t hope!”

[Leafwing12]

Jack chuckled softly to himself at Gabe's comment. After a while, Jack stood up. He then made his way to the door. Emre glanced over. "Where are you going Jack?" He asked.

"I need to use the bathroom. Don't mind me." Jack murmured. He then moved out of the room. Jack then walked down the hallway, his gaze downcast. He really didn't, but that was just the first excuse that came to his mind. He just felt uncomfortable in there and needed some time to himself.

Gabe watched him leave and frowned softly. he looked at everyone else.

Emre sighed, looking over at Gabe."I really don't know if that guy has what it takes to be in the military." He murmured

Gabe smacked him over the head. “shut your big ass mouth before i knock your teeth out. he just needs the proper help and training. none of his previous officers even tried.” he snapped. “they just tossed him to the next group. you know, when you first joined the squad, no one thought you were fit for it, but look at you know. don’t be such a little shit.”

[Leafwing12]

He winced at the smack, but nodded. “I know sir. I didn’t mean anything by that. It’s just...It’s not all about skill with a gun or combat training. You know these missions rely on communicating clearly with your comrades. We’ve all seen the reports from each officer that has transferred him. And it’s all because of the same issue. He didn’t communicate well or clearly and that caused the missions to go sideways and put others into harm. He’s a nice guy, Reyes. And I want him to be able to stay and help us. But...It’s been six times. With the same issue. That’s clearly an issue that he can’t change.” He said.

“Oh come on Emre. You know some people aren’t born leaders with the gift of speech. It’s like anything else we’ve learned here. He just needs time. Communication is harder then some think, and it doesn’t hurt to always practice with it.” One of the women said. “He’s a sweet guy, and i see some potential in him. Give him a chance.” She said
