“It’s not my favorite variation but it’s the most popular.” The other man conceded with a wry looking smile. Once Kurt had made himself comfortable in a chair, he studied his brother’s scarred hands silently as he shuffled the cards.
He might not have seen Matt in over twenty years but Kurt could still remember the way his teammate’s hands had shook and how he’d struggled with simple dexterity after the augmentation procedures. They’d tried to help Matt hide it at first, not wanting their fireteam to be broken up but in the end, there had been no hiding the damage done to the other man and he’d been quietly shuffled out of the program.
“Maybe,” Kurt said in a noncommittal manner before dropping his attention to his own food. Unlike Matt, he dug into his entrée first rather than hopping directly to desert. “The doctor who worked on you afterwards, they were able to mitigate a lot of the tremors, I see. Did they approach it from a neurological standpoint or something else?” The tremors had made it impossible for Matt to ever wear MJOLNIR but the Spartan-III’s SPI armor didn’t require the same level of neurological uplink to make it work.
