Jack looks at Taner, the barest of smiles pulling at his lips.

"And second off, why? What purpose does it serve, other than to cause distractions and get people killed during their training?"

I wouldn't say there's a specific one. I don't think it would cause as many issues as you seem to, though." Jack shrugs, leaning back. "Regardless of living situations, agents are going to have romantic interests. It's just something that happens."

Also, the Director seems like a reasonable enough fellow. "But sir, all due respect, even if that is true, why give it such an easy avenue?" She frowns.

Jack tilts his head a little. "Agents who have a thing for each other are more likely to fight harder to protect each other, I would assume."

"Putting emotions on the battlefield is just a good way to get yourself and your men killed," she concludes, sparing a worried glance in Taner's direction.

Now he's a little peeved but he doesn't say anything immediately since he doesn't want to yell at her in front of the Director. Needless to say, she does get a very pissed off return stare from him when she looks back.

Her mom didn't really espouse this place, did she? Either way, she's not going to argue philosophy with the Director of the Academy. "You're right, that didn't work out so well, from what I've heard." She sighs. "Sorry, sir, I overreacted."

She gives a half-glance over her shoulder at Taner, and notes his expression for a moment. It causes her to falter, but only for a bit. "Emotions have their place in battle, certainly. Fraternity, solidarity, even enmity. Your fellow soldiers are your brothers and sisters, and the willingness to lay down one's life for your brothers and sisters is what makes a fighting force strong. Romance just causes soldiers to play favorites." A short pause as she collects her thoughts. "That's all a bit farther out from my point, but it's where it leads. All I'm saying is that, you're teaching a bunch of teenagers here... I just don't agree that 'they're going to do it anyway' is ever a good reason to allow something to happen." She bites her lip and looks down. "Also, um, it's... nice to meet you, Sir."

Why, OH WHY, does she have to be like this?! One second he wants to yell her head off and the next he feels guilty for being mad! He swears she knows she's doing it to manipulate him, swears! That said, this is going to hurt because he hit the roommate jackpot it terms of personality. "Is there a way we could get her added to my pod?" Brother's gotta look out for his little sister.

That's how life is, you'll always like someone more than someone else. I'd imagine you would value your brother over another agent you've barely met." Jack shrugs. "But I'll take it under advisement. It's nice to meet you too." He says with something of a wry smile, before turning his head to look at Taner. "...I don't see why not. Is that something you would want?" Jack glances back again.

For all of Zora's bluster, if it was Taner or someone else... "Thank you sir, but..." She looks back at her brother. "...I trust him to not disappoint his mama." She cuts him a wry smirk.

She always seems to make him feel like a mental midget. "I mean, I don't want put anyone out but if it'll make her happy to be in a position to keep an eye on me, I wouldn't object." He's not thrilled though. "You'd want to keep your eye on your brother or sister, wouldn't you, sir?"

She almost suppresses the giggle. Almost. "Thank you for the discussion, sir, it was very much appreciated. Sorry to come storming into your office this early in the morning." She stiffens, salutes, and turns to leave, catching Taner's eye. "And you better not fuck up, big brother, or I'll be watchin'." She grins mischievously and begins to head out the door.

"Allah, help me." He salutes and heads out as well.
