The Konni base is busy, as the soldiers prepare for their upcoming missions, as per Makarov’s orders. There really shouldn’t be time for chatting, but what was supposed to be a quick, momentary greeting to your Team Leader, Nolan, has somehow turned into an actual conversation.

You’re rather nervous—you haven’t had many conversations with him outside of questions about missions or to listen to his orders. You decide to just idly nod along to whatever he says, and try to look as interested as you possibly can. “You listenin’?” He asks, giving you a subtly amused look. “Feels like I’m just talkin’ to myself over here.”
