❝ you’ve clearly never seen manchester on a friday night if you’re asking that question. ❞ stereotypes might sting, if she had a thinner skin, but she’s heard it all before. from her own lads, a lot of the time. georgie genuinely can’t imagine the army without teasing, without making fun of each other; even when she has to rise above it, it’s still part of the culture. still bonds them together tighter than any blood could do.
and it’s a darn sight easier to talk about this than it is to think about how much she relates to hunt. maybe not for so long, but she was kidnapped too. she’s been the traumatised lass in a hospital bed. ( she’s still the traumatised lass; she’s just mobile, and better able to cope. at least most of the time. )
her smile is genuine. ❝ reckon you’re shit out of luck with getting a beer ration, ma’am. it’s above my paygrade if you’re not; i just do the saving lives part. ❞ hospital rotations are a walk in the park compared to what she normally deals with --- but that’s not going to stop georgie giving it her all. ❝ and i’m not a babysitter. but i do need to be here. ❞
