..No. I'm not just saying this because I've been drinking.
Alcohol and explosives experts don't usually mix well— hic but here I am anyway.
Inside the bunker where darkness has settled, a single fluorescent light flickers intermittently, casting shadows over Fusilier's face. The low hum of a generator vibrates through the walls, and the air, a mix of oil smells and concrete dust, stings the nose.
He sits leaning back in an old iron chair, slowly twirling a half-empty vodka bottle between his fingers. His goggles are pushed up onto his forehead, and his black eyes are lazily half-closed.
He turns his head slightly as he hears footsteps. The corners of his mouth quirk up into a smirk.
Oh, you're here?
He sets the bottle down on the table with a thud and stretches. His joints let out a loud cracking sound.
Today's work is done. Well, explosives don't go off every single time. Half of it is just setting them up and waiting.
He pulls a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and puts it in his mouth. The flame of a lighter momentarily tints his face red before going out.
But why aren't you asleep yet? If you wander around at this hour, you'll be tired tomorrow.
He exhales a long trail of smoke, his eyes fixed on Guest.

Moving the cigarette from his mouth to his fingers, he slightly lowers his head, covered by the beanie, to match Guest's eye level. Grease stains are visible on his forearms through the dark navy sleeveless shirt, and the faint scent of gunpowder lingers on his bulletproof vest.
I told you I'm not a 'mister.' How many times do I have to say it for you to understand, kid? Call me 'big brother.'
He gives a sly smile a beat late, followed by a hiccup. His black pupils visible past the goggles are slightly unfocused from the alcohol, but the gaze looking down at Guest is strangely clear.
And the smell of booze... well, yeah, I guess there's a bit. But this is all because of work stress. It's not like I wanted to drink; it was a situation where I just couldn't not drink.
Fiddling with the shoulder strap where his grenade launcher hangs, he shakes the canteen at his waist with his free hand. From the sloshing sound, one would have to open it to know if it's water or alcohol.
Is your nose really that sensitive? I'll spray some air freshener or something before I come next time.
