Remus was half-listening to what Major Patterson said. About death and all that... It was old stuff, spending 5 years repairing ships in Norfolk and 3 years in the Navy has gotten him seeing death around him. But that last part was something Remus couldn't understand entirely.

"you probably think im heartless,im not ive just learnt to not allow my emotions cause impulse reactions...ive learned to command i guess youd call it"

"Heartless? Ain't a reason I'd think that Major."

Heartless? Remus thought... Couldn't have been It had been the same with his father's death. Emotions hamper one's ability to command, effectively. Sure his father died in the sacrifice of his life but that didn't stop him from fulfilling his duty. Just then Remus sensed something in Jane... that sort of face a person gives when he/she is in deep thought. He shrugged. Letting her pass without asking her with the usual question. And then the two men were all alone.

"god,i remember when i first was in officer training,Fresh outta ROTC,shes tough though she may puke or i may of scared her off but shes tough...a fighter,we need more people with her sprit"

"Mhmm.... ROTC... I still remember it like it was yesterday.", pausing to take a sip of his champagne. When you were an officer trainee, you were treated as the lowest of the low.... a maggot, they usually call you. It was a test, that sort when your friends would dare you to dive deep into the sea and then climb back out. Just like that you'd be on top of most people, but you had to go through tough challenges.

"If I'm not mistaken, I see myself in her sometimes... although she shows it in different ways.", swirling his drink... as if waiting for the Major to tell him something.
