Andrei seemed to treat Vulich's insults like the water, sliding off his back. Matvei held deep admiration for his cool-headedness and his dry humour; a combination of qualities he wished he could use so well.
He had no idea what Vulich's problem was, but it was one he planned to leave well alone - unless, of course, he had the chance of silent vengeance. He allowed no injustice against his brothers to go unanswered, but he was loathe to follow the violent route.
... Not all of his brothers, though. That head-up-his-ass Kassian apparently was too good for their company, and was worth a good deal less in his eyes. He privately hoped he'd get deferred to another unit if his attitude continued, but, always seeing the best in people, he figured it could be initial outsider moodiness at being so different from the rest of them. He was the proverbial black sheep. He'd give him a chance before he gave up on him, meanwhile, he certainly wasn't going to offer up what the others had earned.
Scrubbed clean, he flashed Andrei a grin. "We've got a different kind of analysis waiting, so don't waste your breath on him," he informed him, having a better sense of time than most of them. "Or I'll have to explain to the Major you'd prefer to spend your time naked with Lieutenant Vulich," he said with a grin, as he left the shower, a few of his comrades following behind.
He figured it was a fair exchange for calling him Makno; he hated it, but he tolerated it - only within his unit, and in particular from Andrei.
