"Driving is not my MOS," Bass agreed. "We got the Army boys for that. And they probably use GPS." They were Army, after all. "But I've done two tours in Iraq, so. I do have some experience in the desert."
Which was...not what he wanted to talk about, because it was not in any way, shpae or form, a collection of good memories. For a few seconds, shadows darkened his eyes, and he had to take a moment, visibly push them away, take a drink of his beer and focus on the fact that he was here, in Hawaii, with a hot airman making jokes about aliens and Bass's advanced age of 30.
He laughed, and it was only a little hollow, and met the extended hand with his own and a teasing brush of fingers through and over each other. "My mom loved that show." He let the comment about his age go without retaliation for now--probably more a sign of the shaking off of memories than anything else. "I've driven through Roswell, once, on our way from Vegas to Texas. Went to the museum, had a milkshake at the diner, then were on our way. Small town, but still about three times as big as where we grew up."
He forgets sometimes that not everyone knows who he means by "we."
