[vata]

Which is why I need you to make sure she doesn't get too close to York.

Or at least make sure he doesn't fall for her.

[agnominal]

...what.

[vata]

Look I know it's crazy

But she didn't earn her name by being transparent. And her idea of fun doesn't exactly leave much room for anyone else's feelings.

If I say anything to stop her she'll think I'm compromised. That I care what happens to him.

[agnominal]

Hn. Can't have that.

[vata]

Exactly.

He likes you mijo. He listens to you. You can keep him from falling head over heels better than anyone else.

[agnominal]

One of these things is correct.

Still. I will do what I can.

[vata]

That's not true.

[agnominal]

Your evidence?

[vata]

I know him. I've seen the way he looks at you.

And I know that he cares what you think. How you feel.

[And Delta, their long conversation about contingency plans, well—

It wouldn't have happened if York and Delta didn't care so deeply about Locus himself. Trusting him to the bone.]

[agnominal]

[ Well. Alright then.

He's going to spend a lot of time NOT thinking too hard about that. ]

I will do what I can.

He does demonstrate remarkable lack of concern for his own well-being, however. I'm more concerned about competing with that then your teammate.

[vata]

Then it'll be good practice for the both of you.

[agnominal]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[vata]

Oh I don't know. Just talking to myself.

[agnominal]

No. You're not.

[vata]

I just think that you two can be a little

similar

sometimes.

[agnominal]

This is about Silent Horizon.

[vata]

This is about you both thinking everyone else matters more.

It's a bad habit.

[agnominal]

I know.

[vata]

Ni modo mijo

but maybe if you help him, he can help you, too.

[agnominal]

I've heard that's what friends are for.

Could just be rumor.

[vata]

And a few other things.

But mostly that.

[agnominal]

Hm.

Widowmaker. What can you tell me about her?

[vata]

Nothing that Overwatch wouldn't tell you if you asked.

She's part of my team. Our long-range cover. Gives tactical advice when I'm not around,
questions mine when she is. Devoted to Talon because she has to be.

And in a lot of ways, you two are alike.

[agnominal]

Is that meant to be complimentary?

[vata]

It's meant to be honest.

She's my friend, Soldado.

[One of two people she kept close out of an entire world of open tables, despite all her programming: make of that what you will, Locus.]
