The small talk is going great I’d say!
By the way I’m looking to get my foot in the door for some security duty for some high ranking officer. Not lazy just rather live posh that go grunt if you know what I mean.
Private scans the room and sees Master Chief Sgt.
Private discreetly walks over Master Chief Sgt. looks to Master Chief Sgt. salutes and asks.
“Permission to speak freely sir?”
Master Chief Sgt. looks at the Private and holds his index finger in the air in the number one motion, looks behind his back to make sure Commander backstabber IS in the same place seen last, narrows his eyes a little at the Commander, turns back to the Private and releases his hold on the on the number one gesture and says “Go ahead but be quick!” as he uses a turn up a thumb, then motioning towards backstabber.
” Master Chief Sgt. SilverX do you need a bodyguard/assistant for the election campaign and beyond? I have seen shifty things <eyes moving to the side in the direction of backstabber twice with a slight head twitch in the sam direction as the eyes> and would like to offer my skills. I am proficient in Martial Arts and Shorthand, can make a mean cup of green tea as well sir.”
Private standing at attention, eyes forward, seeming to look through Master Chief Sgt. at the horizon just like he was taught at the academy, waiting for and answer.
