"I didn't mean it like... manipulating."

He leans his head in to rest against the top of her head.

"I just figured it'd be fun, and I like where it ended up. That's all."

"Pft, you're a schemer and you know it." she teases.

"But fine, take it all in. We're going to have to figure out how to get changed at some point and I'm not so sure you have spare clothes here like I do."

She glances towards his car.

"...Unless she's got it."

"Would you believe me if I said yes?"

Sounds familiar.

"Wait, you have spare clothes in the garage?"

Yes. Yes she would believe it. Rhett would probably live in his car if it had internet an a built in desktop.

"Not in the garage. In the jeep. I take spare clothes with me when I go out on the field all the time."

You just never know when a mud man will be there.

"Holy shit, you are prepared."

He sounds impressed!

"I know you take things seriously, but damn. I don't even think to do that."

"Don't be so dramatic." she shakes her head.

"All I got are the spare clothes and the first aid kit that's always in there. I wouldn't consider that overly prepared."

More like past missions have taught her she wants spare clothing.

"More prepared than me. I bring the kit, that's it."

Rhett shrugs.

"What, you have some inexplicable problem with torn or dirty clothing?"

"Yeah I do, actually. Might be a field curse. If I'm not ruining clothes because of the enemy, then I'm doing it myself from too much flipping around."

She gives a short shrug.

"It's like when Gary was still around and somehow everything would hit him in the nose. His face just kept changing every mission."

"You're too hardcore for clothes."

Rhett laughs.

"Poor Gary. He was the only guy I've met whose nose looked like an accordion."

"I don't know why he didn't just wear a face mask."

But that was a good example of not learning from experience. Jan Di? She did. It was all non-constricting clothing and spare ones for her.

"I feel like he was trying to prove something. Like, 'this time, I'm not going to be hit in the face'. And we both know how that turned out."

Badly.

"I bet he didn't even feel it anymore. Like his nose was so wrecked it was just numbed forever. That would explain the weird mouth breathing, anyway."

Good times.

Oh god, it was horrid!

"You think he was asthmatic or something? I don't really know how anyone can make such weird noises while attempting to breathe naturally."

It was like part groan, part wheeze, and all horrifying.

"Can you imagine what terrible luck he must've had to have asthma and have his nose destroyed?"

It'd be like God hates him.

"Jesus. It's these kind of revelations that make me think back and feel bad that I would laugh at him."

A beat.

"Well WE would laugh at him."

But what, they were like...13? 14?

"It's not as bad if we both did it."

Rhett snorts.

"We share the blame. We're only half going to hell, each."

"Is that like a half sentence to eternal damnation and then we're allowed back into heaven?" she chuckles.

"Either that, or only the left side of you goes to hell, and the right side goes to heaven."

.....wait.

"Okay, maybe bottom half goes to hell, and top half goes to heaven."

Rhett gives her an are-you-serious look!

"Don't worry, I'm not going to either place. I'm staying right here on earth so I can spook Paradigm." she grins back before starting to pull away.

"That said, I can't stand these wet clothes. I'm getting changed."

Once he'd let go of her she'd just start pulling her clothes off.

Rhett reluctantly lets go.

But soon finds himself kind of just... watching.

"Paradigm's too lucky, then. But that's a good idea."

He takes his own shirt off, but can't seem to look away from her for longer than a few seconds.
