[ he can feel some of the calm returning to him, still unable to fully comprehend what had done that. but, at least, he's starting to feel more like the current version of himself, and less like a twenty year old who found himself in just a little too much over his head. ]
I've seen some strange things back home, but usually I can at least see them.
[ He blinks and shakes his head. It's more habit than anything else that he reaches out and rests a large hand upon the man's shoulder. Reinhardt is just a very physically demonstrative person. ] You owe me nothing, mein Freund. It is my treat.
[ He gives the smallest squeeze of understanding. ] I know what you mean. It's bad enough that I'm already halfway there [ he reaches to lightly tap the bottom of the huge scar that took his eye ] I really hate it when I can't see what I'm fighting. One day I will put bright lights on my armor and I will go back out there. I will go out there and I will END that thing. Whatever it was.
[ well, isn't that a nice sentiment. although, in Ocelot's line of work owing someone "nothing" rarely meant that at all.
you can't blame him for being a little wary, can you? ]
Well, at least you haven't let it slow you down. [ funny. everyone he knows who has lost an eye somehow is just as capable without it. ] Let me know when you do. I've got a score to settle with that thing myself.
[ DD gives a bark. ]
Or, take DD along. He seemed to have the best experience in there.
[ Not at all. It's just something Ocelot will have to learn. There there is at least one man in this world whose word is his bond. Someone who actually tries to live up to impossible knightly virtues. ]
No, I haven't, though I will admit there was a time when I missed every single thing I grabbed it. It was really very frustrating. My new unit must have learned a lot of very interesting German swears from me. [ After all, he went straight from Eichenwalde to Overwatch, without any time in between to really heal. He had needed the distraction. ]
And of course I will, Mein Freund. Between the two of us, we will crush it! And DD can come too, so that we don't get lost coming back out victorious. But for now, semi-decent beer calls.
[ He'll just throw a heavy arm over Ocelot's shoulders and head off as if nothing had ever happened. Just two friends going to get drunk. ]

Well, then I'll have to owe you, now won't I?
