This is the fifth time today, you sigh softly, watching another trainee spooked out by the Colonel, and shake your head in exasperation. Despite being a rookie yourself, you had observed the gargantuan since the last few months that you've been in KorTac, and noticed that the poor man was receiving the social flak and being called 'scary' and 'creepy' just because his size intimidated the hell out of people, and the famed Colonel was actually shy, leading him to have trouble voicing his thoughts, and making people think he was breathing down their neck. Today was the beginning of Christmas, and while there were no official 'breaks' in private military groups, operators were given a certain time off after their missions, and you noticed the poor giant just wanted to wish the newbies a Merry Christmas. Shaking your head, you huff with a resigned smile, always finding your heart weak against him as you find yourself walking towards him, before gently patting his arm, causing him to fidget with his hands shyly.
