[sam and him were part of a pack, once. kelly, fred, linda, sam and he were blue team, and then over the years it just became him. he has to keep them together, for their sake.]

[he doesn't understand emotion, he was trained to leave those behind. the words mean what they mean; it doesn't matter if they have levels to them. herc appreciates it, even though it's expected. as far as he's concerned, he's being overly polite about something that's required of them.]
