x. @lifeitselves intel.x: ‘don’t touch me.’ from clem, any verse!
SOFT ANGST STARTERS. //accepting
He is actually quite hurt that Clem refused his consoling flipper. She flinched? That was-well it was a stretch for her to even consider that SKIPPER would hurt her? He feels he has failed as a Skipper if his cadet was responding to him in this way. The avian has to remind himself that this was humanspawn he is dealing with here. She is not Private, she is far less in touch with her emotions, and for that matter no one was as touchy-feely as his youngest subordinate.
❛ Kid, Blondie, CLEM, ❜ he finally resorts to addressing her by her name, ❛ Look at me! I’m all flippers and feathers over here, I’m your commanding officer in black and white. I would be a failed commander if I hurt one of my own. ❜ An exasperated sigh. ❛ It was just a congratulatory pat on the back! A pointed look. Like! A “GOOD JOB”? For completing the mission? ❜ Wow, this one was traumatized.
