It was true that Sergei should have kept it professional even out in the hallway. It was likely there were other people around who might catch a glimpse of their conversation, but he had been too shocked to consider that at first. As eager as he usually was to stay at attention and be a good little Ocelot for the major, it was also easy for him to slip into a more casual tone with his superior, seeing that they had known each other long before they had been placed into a professional relationship.
Casual conversation with Ocelot was as natural as a formal one. He didn't like to think that he had upset the other by letting that line blur, however, so he immediately straightened and tensed, rigid again. "Sorry, sir," he fumbled.
As Ocelot described the victim of the murder, Sergei's eyes widened. He definitely knew who he was referring to, and while he was no stranger to death, he could tell that this was more calculated and grim than the casualties of battle he was used to.
"Why him? Do you think there was any motive behind it? Are there any suspects so far, sir?" It had to be a big deal if there had been outside forces called in for investigation and if everyone was being interviewed, which made him feel like Ocelot had left out some of the facts.
