Kassian's eyes fluttered shut at Isaev's touch, but Kassian snorted lightly at his words.
"No," he said. "I'm not calling you that. I don't say things that mean something else."
He spread his hand wide against Isaev's tailbone, and drew him closer. "Believe me, comrade," he said, voice perfectly solemn and earnest. "I appreciate your experience. All of it."
Kassian opened his eyes to regard the lieutenant, mouth quirking.
"And if you didn't come, I think I'd have to find you."
He let his head lean back against the fence, and drew in a long, slow breath. This was something he could get used to, he thought, and knew he probably had already started.

His gaze drifted up to the darkening sky.
"Looks like a storm," he murmured.
He shivered, but not from the cold.
