Every 4 years they settle in one of the nicer safehouses to watch the Olympics together. There’s a lot of yelling, betting, sudden national football pride and too much critique of the archery and fencing tournaments. More meta below the cut!
[ID: a digital drawing of The Old Guard lounging in couches on a living room watching TV. They’re all wearing national football jerseys: Booker is wearing the French one, Nile the USA, Joe Tunisia’s, Nicky Italy’s from 1982, Andy the Soviet Union’s and Quynh’s Vietnam’s. The coffee table in front of them is filled with clutter: glasses, cups, a charcuterie board, dips, bottles, a book and pens, paper and money. There’s art on the walls on the background and a kitchen behind them from which Booker is coming from, Nile is chewing on a pencil looking confused at Joe as he explains something to her, waving his free hand while the other rests on Nicky’s back, who is praying with a rosary in his hands. Andy and Quynh are wrapped around each other in a single couch to the right. The other three photos are detail crops. End ID]
