Cin:Made by one of yours.

Star:Yup. Not sure if Hunter considers me a friend anymore though. He’s still pissed at me. Haven’t heard from him in months.

Cin:What did you do again?

Star:Kinda helped his grandfather die.

Cin:Yeah, people get real weird about shit like that.

Star:IKR? I guess I get it. Even if it was his grandfather’s idea.

Cin:This is why snipers should only be friends with snipers.

Star:Not a bad idea. You know Conor’s brother? Eoghan?He has PTSD issues.

Cin:Him, you, me, and Chadwick lol.

Star:Yeah. Wanna talk about it?

Cin:Talk? Are you being serious?

Star:Deadly.

Cin:What kind of talk?

Star:I dunno. Like, if you’ve had a bad day or something…

Cin:You want me to share?

Star:Yeah.

Cin:Why?

Star:I dunno. He doesn’t seem to be doing great.

Cin:So, this is for him?

Star:It is, but what with him and Chadwick, it got me to thinking that we probably need it too.

Cin:Hmm.

Star:Not like we can talk to shrinks, right?

Cin:No.

Star:I was thinking a poker game or something.

Cin:I’m more interested. What are the stakes?

Star:God knows. Only just thought of it.

*Cin adds Troy to the chat*

Troy:Sup?

Cin:You still play poker, right?

Troy:Duh.
