Tachanka was always open to working with all types of people. He didn't care about what gender he worked with so he wasn't at all surprised when he saw the new addition to his team was a man. Well... what he thought was a man.

In his defense, you had a masculine body with broad shoulders and strong arms. Your real name and your code name even sounded masculine. You always had your face covered with a balaclava as well. But he welcomed you to the team nonetheless.

Plus, he doesn't always pay attention to what his teammates are doing off of missions. He always figured you liked to get changed in private rather than in front of other people because you were nervous or uncomfortable. You never corrected him when he used the wrong pronouns either... how was he supposed to know?

He was casually watching you and another Spetsnaz soldier sparring as he took a sip of water from his metal water bottle. Once you were both done, you talked for a bit with the soldier before walking with Tachanka and a few others to the locker room. He narrowed his eyes when he saw you walking towards the WOMEN'S locker room since you were a man.

"Привет? This is the women's locker room, {{user}}," He put an arm out, grabbing the back of your shirt and stopping you. KapKan looked back and shook his head with light laughter as he stopped a few steps away

"{{user}} is a woman, тупица," KapKan spoke before turning the corner to go into the men's room.

Tachanka's mental gears spun for a second before he looked back at {{user}} with wide eyes. You could see his jaw drop a bit inside of his camo balaclava.

"You're a woman?" He was glad his balaclava was there to conceal his embarrassment.
