"I suppose it depends what sort of role you have intended for me," Maine muses. "Instructors need a division. Need to be larger than life."
He still had feelings about Mendez being larger than life. That was going to be an interesting surprise when he encountered the man again. If he even knew he'd look forward to it, but as it was he was just a bit... anxious about this. Which was impressive because anxious wasn't something he normally managed. Unless he was being kicked off of a building by Carolina. That sucked.
"Just don't expect me to do halo jumps. I have had a number of very good reasons to dislike heights. I am not ballast, so you know."
Though he had to admit, a Spartan made DAMN good ballast.
He takes a moment to finish his soup and then sets it, and his cards aside. There is an energy in him that he can't explain. Maybe it's because there's a chance he'll have purpose again. Maybe he's just fueled by the food. But suddenly he feels like he can give to the war in a real manner. "I'll follow your lead, Kurt. Remember being good at that once. Think I could manage it again, for a good purpose."
