'...How could I fuck up this bad already?...'

Morrison just gave a little welcoming smile, putting his hands up in a mimicking surrender type away "it's alright recruit, Reyes here is just way more impatient today than usual." He said in a soft kind of way while putting in a joking tone. 

Reyes just rolled his eyes slightly as he kept his hands crossed over his chest, seeming slightly more annoyed than he already was.  Morrison held out a hand to me, "you already know who I am, but this grumpy fella next to me is commander Gabriel Reyes,"

I hesitated ever so slightly before I extended my hand to him.  He held on to mine a bit firm as he shook my hand.  It didn't hurt but I was taken back by the fact that his gloved hand was so much larger than mine. 

'...why am I so nervous?...'

I glanced from Morrison to Reyes, quickly regretting it from the way he was glaring at me.  I wasn't sure if he was upset with me or if he was trying to seem tough or if it was his resting face but none of that stopped the fact that he made me feel so much smaller to him than I actually was.  Though the glaring quickly stopped and turned into him rolling his eyes again when Morrison gave him a side eyed look.  "Let's just get this over with." He murmured before turning on his heals and head towards the exit of the carrier. 

Morrison just let out a small sigh before motioning me to follow before he went to catch up with Reyes.  I stood still for a moment before going to following behind, trying to keep up the pace to not be left behind.  Mainly keeping my distance do to the how loud the clanking of there boots were against the metal of the carrier as I kept my eyes on the ground a head of me.  Any time I would sneak a glance though I'd notice how they'd keep glancing at each other which turned stern looks or subtle elbow nudges from Morrison when ever Reyes would glance back at me.  The intimidation that man gives me is beyond real with each look or every time we accidentally made eye contact.
