👋 Three things that describe our muses relationship.
With their time in Blackwatch in mind? Silent. Okay so maybe this was mostly on Genji's part. Forming friendships was not of high priority back then. Who would really want to be close to a cyber freak anyway? He might not show it, but he did appreciate Jesse’s company, either sitting in oddly comfortable silence or hearing Jesse go on and on. Was he being a tad selfish? Maybe. Did the cowboy simply feel obligated to be around him? A high probability. Whatever the case, it’s one of the little things that made life feel a bit... well, normal.
They’ve seen each other in action loads of times, both in training and out on field missions. He couldn’t, and wouldn’t deny the gunslinger’s skills. In the ninja’s eyes, they were equals in their own prowess, finding synergy in battle. During downtime, they may find themselves at the training facility, comparing skills and tricks, perhaps a spar now and then just to see how they’d match against the other. A bit of friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, right?
And whether it’s explicitly spoken or not, there’s always been a sense of mutual trust and respect between them. After all they’ve been through in Blackwatch, they’d come to be understanding of one another; their struggles and doubts. No judgements. After the recall, Genji would not drag him into it – whatever Jesse felt it best to do, he’d respect his decision – but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t hoping Jesse would join the team one day. Maybe then, they could continue their conversations. No more mostly one-sided this time, of course.
😶 My muse confesses to something they wish they didn’t do that affected your muse.
“You should not have to see it– when I was at my worst...” Why did McCree have to be there when things got a little too much? When the phantom pains were unbearable, night terrors depriving him of sleep, and he just felt like clawing at his own flesh while lashing out at anyone who approached. It was humiliating. Ugly. “In my weakness, I have said things that I shouldn’t have.” He could not trust himself when he’s in such a state after all. “At least, I have the solace of knowing that things did not get out of hand.”
🍵 My muse reveals one of their biggest regrets involving yours.
"...You know, I meant it when I said to take better care..." He is, of course, referring to that prosthetic arm of Jesse's. Sure, he was being mostly satirical when he said it last time. But now? He knows all too well the hell of cybernetics, and wouldn't wish it on others. Especially those he considers good allies. "If one could turn back time, I wonder..."
👂 Overhear my muse talking about yours.
“Trust me, I have been in the field with McCree,” Genji speaks, arms casually crossed. “There is a method to his ways. He must have his own reasons not to join us at this time. Until then, I’m certain he can hold his own. Even I have trouble keeping up with his draws sometimes.”
“–Though I’d recommend not telling him I said that. It would feed his ego.”
