The fact that the new people seemed to be fine with getting along without his help was a huge weight from his shoulders, as Tove wasn't completely sure that he would've been able to help. He drained the last of his coffee and moved to pick up his paperwork, flicking through it briefly. It wasn't confidential, as such, but it wasn't anything he wanted others to read. Briefly, he glanced over them and raised an eyebrow.
"I have one last thing to say," he said, considering whether this was going to be rude or not. Eh, whatever. "It'll piss me off more if you mouse around like a timid animal than it will if you eat the last of the cereal. Take what you need. Make a new pot of coffee when you drink the last of it."
That seemed fair enough. He moved away, then, to the kitchen - glancing only briefly at the picture Anna had put up of him with his new mug - and shook his head, pouring himself another mug of coffee and leaning lightly against the counter. If the kids - wait, no, the squad - had any questions, then they could come and find him. That was probably fine. He ran one hand over his jaw and frowned a little at the faint scratch of stubble, so faint that he'd barely noticed it. He'd have to shave soon, or something.
He was leaning against the counter and Michael was beside him, buttering some plain bread. He'd stopped questioning that habit years ago, had deemed it a gross thing that didn't concern him. The other man was unusually quiet, hadn't yet said a single thing to Tove. Something was up.
"What is it?" he asked, after a few moments.
"You're hiding something from us. You can't do that. We've known each-other for damn near ten years and you still manage to hide sh*t from us," the words came all as a blur. It shocked Tove. He raised his eyebrows at the observance of one of his least observant team-members (though that wasn't saying much; they were all rather observant) and shook his head a little, looking down at the pot of coffee.
"It's just a mission. It's nothing serious. I just need to make sure that the lead is correct before we chase it," he said, slowly.
Michael reached over and caught his chin, tilting his head upwards and staring him in the eye. "You better be right."
He grimaced at the memory and reached up to brush a hand through his hair, lowering his head and inhaling softly. The scent of coffee was a comforting one, one that managed to keep him calm. His breathing had become a little more ragged but he settled it quickly, hyper-aware that he had to be a superior to these people. He wasn't a friend to them, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to be. They were people to work with and they had a high chance of dying and honestly, Tove had caused the deaths of enough people. It wasn't just his old team that he'd been the cause of; there were countless police officers and special ops agents and just civilians. It was a mess. He wasn't much better than the criminals he chased, damn it.
But he couldn't think like that. Tove had to be stronger and had to be able to carry the weight of his team. He knew he could do it. He'd had a year to recover, and he was still recovering but he was stronger and he could do it and yeah, he was a mess, but it was all internal and no-one could actually see, and as long as he made rational decisions it didn't really matter. He took a sip of his coffee and absently swatted the cold toasted bagel into the trash, wrinkling his nose a little. He'd probably have to get something to eat, too.

It was almost as if he was forgetting something that was supposed to be important. Anton blearily blinked his eyes opened, turning onto his stomach to grab his phone. Suddenly, whatever drowsiness he was suffering from just mere seconds ago disappeared almost immediately as he sat up - alert. Now, Anton wasn't forgetful, or at least he didn't think he was... But to forget to set his alarm was a pretty new low for him. Somehow, he had managed to punch the numbers into his calculator rather than his clock app. Grimacing, he got out of bed. At least he had managed to get to orientation on time and had secured the position, but this would look pretty bad on the record in all honesty.
However, there was one thought that honestly made him feel better with each passing second. It was the thought that since he was already late, being even later would not make much of a difference. Sure, he could probably burst into the room panicking and spluttering apologies, but hey, what was that going to change? After his time in college and working for the FBI, he could say with absolute confidence - it didn't change anything. A tardy was a tardy, and hell, if he was already tardy, he was going to shave his stubble, get a coffee, eat some breakfast, and check his bags before heading out.
So he did. With his bag slung over his shoulder and a Starbucks coffee in hand, he was finally looking up at the building that they were going to be living in. He had been thinking about the job offer for awhile and honestly he didn't have many concerns. He was a linguist. A specialist in languages, not combat or field ops, so in his opinion - he was pretty darn safe. Yeah, he had three younger siblings, and it would be a crying shame if something happened to him so that he wasn't able to say bye to his ma or pa, but he was a linguist. How bad could it be?
Shaking the thoughts out of his head, he looked at the door in front of him. Shrugging carelessly, he raised his hand to the door knob and tried it. Well what a surprise, it was locked. Raising his hand, he lightly knocked on the door while taking a swig of his Starbucks.
Honestly, he was almost feeling bad about waking up late, but also he didn't really care. Sure, his job was being there for his teammates when needed - and he liked setting examples, but what could he do about it? He had made a careless mistake and arrived late. If he acted like it was the end of the world, he didn't know what to do from there. If being late was the end of the world, what could exactly fix that? His boss's forgiveness?
Nah, he was certain the head honcho - man, woman, or non-binary pal - wouldn't take to tardiness well, and lamenting over it like it was the worst thing he'd ever do wasn't going to do him or the team any good. At the least, he just had to start building a repertoire with the boss. He'd start by not being tardy to everything.
Though he couldn't lie that he felt slightly, just slightly, peeved with himself. He had always been something of an older brother figure - or as many of his friends, family, and coworkers called him - a mom figure. He was hard working, he was dedicated, he took care of those around him, and he tried his best to set examples whenever possible - whether that be setting a workout schedule or studiously learning - he tried to achieve the best.
Frowning at the thought that he would not even be given an opportunity - a chance - of earning his team's respect for his tardiness, he found himself slightly bothered by that thought. Hopefully though they would give him a second chance, and his tardiness would not be a reason for them to view him as lacking or inadequate for the position. But all things aside, damn, they sure were taking their time with opening this door.
