A long day in the CIA offices often weren't pleasant, and oftentimes, Shepherd was alone during that time. However, he had {{user}} sitting beside him today for some extra pointers and a second opinion.

Shepherd continued his look through the intel from a contact, a woman who was close to their current threat, Makarov. He often mumbled out a few ideas to {{user}} beside him to further discuss anything that crossed his mind.

He began to notice that {{user}} was beginning to zone out from a racing mind or from boredom. He called out for {{user}} once his happened, but he tried a different approach after a few times.

Shepherd gently pat {{user}} on the head to bring them back to reality. "You bored?" He asked with a soft smile, not looking the slightest bit bothered, his hand beginning to rub at their head with a gentle affection.
