@FVSegundo He was surprised by the sudden visit, but continued to pour himself another glass.
“Did your promotion get to your head, Fidel?” He asked, slurring. “And made you lose all your manners?”
He swirled the wine, watching it as it swished inside. “Why, yes. I’m not sharing.”
@FVSegundo Oh. He's too far gone. Maybe he should enlist Garcia's help to get them together. Maybe even Mike's and Vic's (by extension, Carlos too) and the rest of the Tamaraws.
"You sure are devoted to him."
@AyudanteNieto "Oh, no. I don't think anyone can rival what you have with Basil." He stopped himself from smirking at how jealous he sounded. "You two simply have too much history."
Emphasis on "history". Maybe lightning would strike Douglas before they actually end up together.
"Apologies."
@AyudanteNieto He wanted to snort. These Generals' men.
"Personality... yes, and maybe his looks. I think," he said. "Basil is, after all, a very handsome man. Charming one too."
@FVSegundo "Who? Valdes or Santos?" He asked, eyes drifting towards the younger officer. Must be the latter, then, rather than the former.
"He still hasn't noticed you, hasn't he? Yet, you see how he's like with Valdes." He mused. "That's rough, Segundo."
@AyudanteNieto "Fidel's General would also be your General, yes? And that would be either Santos or Valdes, no?" He asked, skirting briefly around the topic. "But I was saying that both you and Santos are drawn to Basil's personality!"
@FVSegundo "Aside from his personality, maybe that's what draws Nieto and your General to Valdes," he thought aloud. Then remembered, and feigned a cough. "Apologies."
