Tough day at the office, my dear?

Hey, Liv. *sighs* I had to tell a family we lost their son duirn' a mission. Not a nice endin' to that. *growls*

I am sorry to hear that, Duo. I know how tough that is.

I was gettin't ready to tell 'em, yah know? I knew they wouldn't take it with a smile. But I wasn't prepare for this... The father kinda of... recognised me from war days and... maybe I ahd to soemthin' to do with his other son's death.

God, that is horrible, how were you involved with their other son's death?

We were in differen' side, Liv. He was a fuckin' army dude, I was defendin' my people. Not sure if it was really me. He said it was one of the Gundams, so it could've me or one of the other guys from my lovely fivesome.

Ah yes, that would do it, but in that kind of a situation, what can you do? It's not like you can just shake hands and walk away, he was trying to kill you too.

Exactly! And what did the bastard do? Start insultin' me instead of worryin' 'bout his younger son that just died!

Maybe he hasn't gotten over the lost of his first son.

Well, if whe starts to deliver guilt, it was his fault in the first place. He's one of those ol' man who belives in the ol' customes and he sent his sons to fight.

You can't begin to assume that, people react differently to death and loss. Don't let him get to you, he speaks out of anger and hurt. The only thing to do is just be a bigger man and walk away. Though that isn't easy, I know.

*sighs* I know, I know... It just... annoyed the hell out of me. I feel pitty for the poor younger guy who wasn't bein' remembered by his parents.

I know, I know. *Puts hand on shoulder gently.* News like that is never easy, and reactions are even less so.

*growls* And then they wonder why I don't like army guys.

...Thanks for the ear, Liv.

I guess a lot of people don't.

Hey, no problem, I like to listen, I hear I am good at it.

Having trouble with someone?

*growls* Remember the family with the dead son? His fuckin' father can kiss my fukin' ass.

What happened to it being the family's grief?

*growls* They were too busy insultin' me to do any kind of grief.

What did they say?

The father recognised me from war days and sent me to hell. It looks like a Gundam was the cause of his older's son death.

Your Gundam?..............Was his older son an innocent life?

Dunno, he just said it was one of us.

Hell no! He was an army-dude, just like his father and his bro'. That's why the ol' man makes me even crankier, he was the one who trained his children to be proud army dogs....

You can't condition your son to be a ~~cop~~ soldier and then ~~bite off the Head Detective's head~~ complain when ~~a gun gets pointed at him~~ he gets killed in a war. Unfortunately, your guy's not the only one like it. No matter who they are, parents always seem to think these things happen to other people's kids. He's not causing you any trouble, is he?

(ooc: As if Lassy could set the old guy straight.... XD)

This kind of things make thank for bein' an orphan. No, he isn't. We gave 'im the body, he and his miltiary buddies are takin' care of all the rest. He just pissed me off.
