Meridian is quiet, taking it all in. Then he does something that very few have ever seen from him.

"They tell me I'm the Apex which means there are no faults. If I do it, then it's meant to be."

It's a bad joke, but it's a joke and coming from him.

Though it does make him think of something.

"But if they see our emotions for one another as a weakness, then that is their mistake. For any of us. Since we finished training we have been connected in ways most humans will never know. Since things changed for us a few weeks ago, I've realized that these emotions don't hinder us. Its why I think command discouraged it. It makes us stronger than they can handle. No threats will work. Nothing they can hold over us."

Even as he says it, Eames nods. "Exactly what it is. I agree with that.'

Even as he says it, his hand slides to take Arthur's under the table as he talks about people dying, about watching it and how bad it was. "The military doesn't care about lives, just about winning."
