#anyway pls frequent the tab/dick/nix tag on ao3 it's a dELIGHT

during the NCO mutiny in episode 1, I always found it very telling that Talbert's first reaction, upon hearing Dick was lost to mess duty due to court martial, is that Nix better get Dick out of it... implying that Nix 1) is capable of doing so and; 2) is willing to do so (and would!). it is especially telling when you consider how, out of all the NCO's under his command, Dick considered Talbert an actual friend... meaning that Tab might have had some sort of insight on Dick and Nix's relationship-- or at least the lengths Nix is willing to go to save Dick from trouble.
