[It's a different line, but almost the same. That's how Venom Snake and Big Boss are. The same face. The same following. But the words that come from them, terse from this man. Torrents from the other. Gentler, uniting from this man. Harsher, demanding from the other. "Sorry to keep you waiting," fits Venom Snake better. There are no apologies in John's head. He has to be invariably correct, without fault.]
[The most John can offer is understanding that something hurts. He gave Kaz that. It wasn't an apology, but it wasn't unwanted.]
Good to be with you, Boss.
[Those words are typical of Kaz.]
[He puts his arm around Snake's midsection and hugs him to his side, a gentle squeeze, a hug with his real arm before he lets it drop. But he stays in that personal space bubble for now.] Alright, what first? [One thing at a time, right?]
