In some places. Depends on where and when you're from.
[ Andyr's still somewhat pulled on it, between the military he knew through his dad's stories, and the corporate one that exists now, stuffed full of clones and House paid mercenaries as their handlers.
For a moment, he's watching the man, trying to decide which to slot him into. So much of Andyr's view of people comes in black and white, sometimes it only takes a tossed aside answer to an arbitrary question for him to completely write a person off, or decide he has no need to learn anything else about them. Just put them in the category of "probably an asshole" and move on. And sometimes simple association with something he remembers fondly is enough to make him decide to invest, when he's typically distant.

With a small smile, he ducks his head back a moment, squirming around in the tunnel a moment, before he's sliding forward to grip the edge of the vent and drop himself down.
