#aric: i wasn't wearing a HELMET

[eorzeashan]

Eight: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Lana: That doesn't mean you don't have to tell us!

Eight rebels against Lana part 285476, continued...why does this look like that one meme where you stare at the tiddies. Theron you're distracted

He really does do whatever he wants, again! Show up 3 hours late with Kybucks Coffee, Lana is 2 seconds from grabbing him by the collar and shaking him, I swear. No Context King.

He doesn't like to explain if a) he gets to annoy a superior and b) it doesn't feel life-threatening so this happens often. it might have something to do with how he doesn't think twice about others concern for him if they're more in the vein of using him for his skills too, so there's that.

Also, he picked Kaliyo to go into the Spire because he knows her best. I was surprised she made it 3 levels away from the goal, which was way better than Jorgan's record for all my other runs, so you can imagine how pissed Eight was when Jorgan didn't even wait 3 seconds to charge in and potentially ruin everything when he told him to let Kaliyo handle it.

He's also not a big fan of being talked down to as if he did that on purpose and immediate disobeying of orders. That kind of thing gets operatives killed, despite his own record, so he feels a bit strongly about that. There's no way he'd show it, but when Aric comes back he's gonna turn that on him for disappearing for 48 hours when he only disappeared for three.

Not pictured offscreen: Eight patiently waiting for Aric to come back so he can judo flip him into the cold hard ground.

He won't hold it against him after because he's not a revenge person unless it's incredibly drastic and personal, but that's exactly why he doles out beatdowns instead of verbal punishment, lol.
