"Maybe we just expect too much of them." It was unclear if he was speaking of ONI or of the III's. They were at war and while it was devastating to watch hundreds of his Spartans be sacrificed in battle, Kurt told himself that those deaths weren't in vain.
By shutting down the Covenant shipbuilding capabilities, they had slowed them down for months. Months that saved countless lives. So he knew by the bloodless by the number logic of ONI that those kinds of missions justified the means but it was hard.
The last thing Kurt had expected was that hug and he was a little stiff and slow to reciprocate it. Maybe that could be chalked up to the fact that he'd spent the better part of two decades being cut off from his fellow II's and Matt in particular. "Thank you, Matt. I mean it."
Just having his brother here helped more than he'd thought possible. Kurt had battled with his own sense of loneliness and isolation both because of his rank and position at Currahee but also because he'd been apart from his team for so long. "I'm really glad you're here."
