  Jazmine practically grinned at him. She found Eli’s fumbling and blushing oddly adorable. Of course, she’d never admit to that—unless she was going to tease him about it.

"You’re welcome," she replied, shifting on her feet a bit awkwardly then. Does she just leave now or should she say something else? She did what she came here to do, and now what? She never realized she was this socially awkward. It was a little sad. But Kane saved her from an extended awkward silence.

"Oh," Jazmine said, tilting her head at the box, "you’re decorating."

She hasn’t decorated, or even celebrated Christmas in years. But she remembered sitting on Yancy’s shoulders as a child, trying to put the star up on their tree. She remembered laughter and happiness. And then she remembered cold and loneliness. Jazmine shook her head, avoiding the past, and she took the box from Kane. “Sure, I’ll help. I don’t have to go back to the lab until a few hours, anyway.”

[springerbrothers-blog]

"Well," Eli nodded, "come on in!" He pushed aside his embarrassment caused by his brother. The tree was still half-bare and Kane still wanted to hang lights around the room. Christmas was a big deal for them back home and being a million miles away wouldn't stop them from celebrating.

Kane handed Jaz the box of ornaments and got to work untangling the lights to hang around the room. "Your family ever do anything big for Christmas? Or, do you guys celebrate something else?" With all the different people in one area it was hard to make assumptions, especially around the holidays. "Our family used to do this big whole ordeal every year," Kane said as he untangled the first strand. Eli looked up from hanging ornaments to hear her response.

"Don’t touch that. He gets grumpy."

[springerbrothers-blog]

"...But it's just a statue..." 

[springerbrothers-blog]

    Kane had successfully avoided contact with people so far today. He was in one of those moods again. Not even hi own brother wanted to be around him — that was becoming a frequent occurance as of late

   Upon hearing the cadence of steps approach him as he hid behind his book he sighed. "Can't you see I'm busy?"

[sciencesavestheday]

"I never claimed to not being creepy.” She responded uncaringly as they set the Kaiju part down onto the table. “You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into, buddy.”

"What makes you think I wouldn’t be trusted with something super top secret?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest and looking him over with narrowed eyes. Okay, you’re right. It might be somewhat illegal but, I was technically cleared to do this. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be apart of it.”

[springerbrothers-blog]

Eli laughed out loud. "Well, it's not competition but I can be quite a handful too." He cocked his eyebrows as if they added testament to his statement. But anyone who knew him longer than five minutes could safely assume that he never got into any trouble.

"I wanna do...whatever it is that you're gonna do with this thing. I guess that's my science side coming out." He winked at her before leaning over the part on the table, finally getting a good look at it.

  An eyebrow arched up at Kane’s teasing, an amused smile tugging at her lips. “Didn’t even ask me out on a date yet and you’re already calling me your girlfriend, Eli?” She joined in on the teasing, because hey, the opportunity was there and she rarely passed up opportunities. 

"Nah, we don’t have to go somewhere else. I actually just came to give you something." She replied, holding up the jacket she had over her arms. "You left this in the lab the other day. You never came back for it so I thought I’d bring it to you."

[springerbrothers-blog]

Kane covered his mouth with his hand as he snickered. It was always a good thing when people joined in on the innocent teasing of the younger Springer. Eli's ears burned with embarrassment. "I didn't...ah..." Eli fumbled over his words, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. 

Eli stepped up to take the jacket with a smile, "Thanks, yeah I forgot where I put it." Kane was clearly enjoying this; he was grinning ear-to-ear. Kane picked up a box of Christmas bulbs and stuck them out to Jaz, "Wanna help us out?"

“I am certain Mister Choi has something that could get you up and adam, I might be assuming too much though.”

[springerbrothers-blog]

"Sounds like a gamble to me. I think I'll stick with being groggy for a bit; maybe I'll go on a run or something."

[luckysevenbornfighter-deactivat]

 "We’ll just have to make you into a morning person then, won’t we, mate?" 

[springerbrothers-blog]

"Good luck. Not even Red Bull wakes me up in the morning."

[springerbrothers-blog]

"— Petition to never wake me up before 9 am...I've been a grouch all day."

  When the door opened and she was greeted by someone who wasn’t Eli, Jazmine assumed this was his brother—either that or Eli had a hot boyfriend she didn’t know about. She doubted it though. She didn’t get a very gay vibe from the younger Springer.

She raised a brow right back at the guy. “Yeah, I’m looking for Eli—oh hey, Eli.” She greeted once he popped over his brother’s shoulder and trying to push him out of the way.

[springerbrothers-blog]

Kane stepped back with a small chuckle and let Eli to the door, but not before ruffling his hair and saying, "Ohhh, so this is the girlfriend you keep mentioning all the time." He tried to keep a straight face, but Kane could never look like he wasn't up to something.

"I never said that!" Eli yelled back to his brother. "Ignore him, please. Did you wanna go somewhere else?" He said as he  turned back to Jazmine, ears red with embarrassment. Kane mumbled something about finishing the tree, but Eli just ignored him. 

[sciencesavestheday]

Jazmine rolled her eyes at him. “I’m just being a realist, Eli.”

"Yep, Newt’s the tattoo guy and fellow Kaiju fanatic—though I wouldn’t say I’m a fanatic by a long shot. I just like cutting them open. Hermann’s the math guy and local grouch." She replied, heading towards where her desk was.

"What if I told you it was uber super top secret?" She questioned ominously, even adding on to the effect by widening her eyes a bit.

[springerbrothers-blog]

"'I just like cutting them open,'" he mocked, "Yeah, that doesn't sound creepy or anything." He snickered like an idiot, bracing himself in case she decided to whip around to smack him. 

"Pfft, please," he said, rolling his eyes so hard that they could have rolled right out of his head. "When someone says something like that it usually means that it's illegal...or it is actually super top secret, but I doubt the latter applies here."

Harvey watched him. He was interesting. He heard a lot about him and his brother. Famous Pilots. Rock star level, even. And Harvey was glad that they were on his side, and not the awful board of United Nations, who wanted the Jaeger program gone....again.

He refrained from sliding his fingers into his hair. His hair was perfectly coiffed into its professional look, patted down with hair gel to keep its shape.

He looked at Kane curiously, like a puzzle needing to be solved. Harvey chuckled. "Yes. My dream job to be the head honcho of the PPDC." Harvey replied with a dry tone, before giving him a small smile.

Of course this wasnt his dream job, just how he assumed that being a Jaeger pilot, which was very dangerous, wasnt Kane's dream job.

[springerbrothers-blog]

Kane had heard word going around about how the new Marshall was so professional and so orderly. Kane made it his personal goal to find out what made this guy tick, pick his brain a bit. 

His eyes narrowed slightly, but enough to be noticed. The smirk was still ever-present across his thin lips. Kane was pretty certain there was more to this guy than a suit and a pretty face, and his comment solidified Kane's assumption. 

"Hmm," he grumbled out a throaty chuckle, "that's an interesting answer, Harvey." 

Kane could kind of agree with Harvey, though. Sometimes he'd wished he was still in the Air Force, flying planes all over the country and seeing places that not many could get to see even if they had two lives to do it. His face fell noticeably just thinking about it. 

"So what is your dream job, if you don't mind me asking?"

  It’s not like he’d never been in a fight, but they tended to take place when he was intoxicated. The only weapon he has these days are negotiation or tattling to the Marshall. Neither were all that interesting, so he did his best at trying to square up to this guy, picking up a slice and taking the biggest bite he could, chewing slowly. Only Jax could make eating toast confrontational, “Jack shit now.”

[springerbrothers-blog]

Kane grinned—almost chuckled, actually. He leveled his eyes with the man's, "You've got me shaking in my boots, mate." He's been hanging out with the other jaeger pilots too much, he was starting to pick up their lingo.

"Just toast today, huh? Trying to keep a slim figure or are you just that boring?" Kane had made it a routine to flash his arrogant side during first impressions.

"Like those Saw films? Or, erm…oh! Final Destination. Those movies are just…" Shaking her head, Norah frowned in distaste. "Never really was fond o’ those. I’ll put that book on my long, long list." Her fingers gently tapped against the back of the novel she held, taking note of his name. "Kane’s an interesting name. Pleasure. So uh…." Norah smacked her lips together, searching for something else to say. She was never really good at conversing with someone. "Are you going to work after this, or..?"

[springerbrothers-blog]

"Horrible, horrible movies. Yeah, it's nothing like those." He shook his head. Kane never really understood the demand for movies that were all just fake blood and no functioning plot lines. Then again, he was much more of a book person than a movie person in the first place. "I get that a lot," he smirked. "I'm off for the day, actually. I was thinking about getting some lunch; care to join me?"

  Well isn’t he special? A Jaeger pilot who doesn’t bask in the glory? Shocking. She’s run across several pilots in her time and— Well, perhaps it’s that she’s biased but she doesn’t tend to hold them in high regard. She’s always assumed that all pilots are cocksure assholes on an adrenaline trip and she likes to avoid them. But she laughs all the same at his disbelief in her classified status because she happens to like this pilot in particular. She doesn’t actually know if her involvement with the PPDC or classified or not—she’s never bothered to ask. Odds were that it wasn’t strictly classified, but they didn’t like to talk about it.

"Oh you think I’m joking. If I told you," she chuckles, "well, I’d have to kill you. And that, Pretty Eyes, would be a shame.”

[springerbrothers-blog]

Kane scoffed, there she goes again with that little nickname. Kane was hoping that it wouldn't stick, but judging by what he knew so far of this woman that it so would. There was no point in telling her that he didn't like it(because it made him feel vain) because she'd probably still call him that anyway and laugh even more knowing that he didn't like it.

"I think I'd like to see you try," he winked. "No sense in prying any further if you're not gonna talk about it, but I want to assure you that you don't have to be embarassed to tell me that you're just a scientist." Kane didn't think his guess was correct, but if she kept calling him pretty eyes he was gonna keep teasing her.
