*Slaps car* You can fit so much ADHD in this scientist

[César can't help but smile now. It's clear how much he loves Magne; just thinking about her makes his mood lift, if even for a moment.]

That's good to know for when we start planning. [He laughs.] I'm definitely a man with simple needs, but I'll share the planning load evenly.

[Mulcahy's earlier words snap back from César's subconscious: frontline military hospital. His chest tightens, his eyes distancing as his smile falls; he's seeing something else.]

I'm a scientist, so I've only seen the medical teams and caskets from afar when they arrive at the base.

[He breathes out—in.] Those casualties I almost ceased for everyone... but of those sins I'm not yet ready to speak. ... a third thing. [To talk about. César looks down to find his bread in his lap now that he's holding the rings, and he goes quiet, brows furrowing. A fourth: Rex's career, a thought he must chew on.]
