He heard the door, and he heard someone open the door, and so Tove remained in the kitchen. He'd moved, now, to the sink, where he was absently washing the dishes to keep his mind away from anything important. Of course, considering that he'd only used a couple of dishes plus a coffee mug other than his usual one, he was quick to finish and he dried the plates before putting them away, all in a quiet motion. He then washed his hands and finished his coffee, pausing momentarily to consider the health complications coming from how many coffees he'd had already. Oh, well. It was okay. It was the last of the pot and he didn't really feel like having it when it was scalded (though he'd drink it anyway), so he poured it into his mug before setting up the machine to make some more coffee. Once that was done, he leaned back and sipped at his coffee absently, glancing down at the floor and curling his feet. He was wearing odd socks. Huh. Fascinating.
The atmosphere, he'd already noticed, was very different from his previous team. Whereas they had been easy to get along with and inside jokes had come rather easily, he wasn't sure that he fitted with them. Their skills were nothing to sniff at, but it was interesting to consider that he was the odd one out, considering he'd been in Veil for ten years, and as such, he was already leagues ahead. He knew how the procedures went, and so on.
His mind flicked briefly to Emmett's laptop and his two larger computers, sitting quietly in the corner of Tove's room. They'd initiated some sort of sequence that he'd barely managed to turn them off for, but he didn't quite understand why. Even as his perfect recall flicked over the images of the days before the incident, he couldn't sense anything odd about the old Tech. Nothing more secretive, and he'd been shown the coding and some of the files. Nothing bad. Perhaps it was a thing that Emmett had installed to stop enemies getting to the computers.
Either way, they were as good as dead and he wasn't sure why he kept them. Nostalgia? They were new towers - 2014 models - with very old monitors (from 2006 or 2007, he couldn't remember). It had always been fascinating to see the contrast between the sleek computer towers and the clunky monitors, but there had been outright refusal to change them. It had, at the time, been amusing - but now he could see the age on them and it truly hit him how long he'd been with his old team.
Are the dynamics here going to ever settle? he wondered idly, despite the fact that he was fully aware that it was his fault. There were a great many things that were his fault, and, of course, he was completely aware of that fact. Too aware. His eidetic memory was both a gift and a curse, and at the moment, it felt more like a curse. The fact that he could perfectly recall the exact deaths his team-mates suffered, the exact reasoning, the people who had done it. The reason they'd fallen into the trap, the fact that he'd hidden so much - all of it was ingrained in his brain, just like his childhood, just like his life as a teenager...essentially, he was tired of having the memory that he had. Sure, sure, there were the good times and they were good to cling to, but it wasn't a simple matter of shoving down the memories - he found himself unable to, no matter how hard he tried.
The coffee machine behind him beeped softly, casting him out of his thoughts, and he took another sip from his coffee before setting it on the counter beside him. Against his thigh, his phone buzzed, and Tove pulled it out of his pocket.
[redacted] Have they settled in yet?
[Tove] it's been literally ten minutes shut up and leave me alone
[redacted] You could've just said no. How are you doing?
[Tove] fine. go away.
[redacted] Mm, yes. Your team are going to absolutely love you.
A faint frown crossed his lips but he simply locked his phone and set it face-down on the counter next to his coffee. The case it sat in was scratched and barely recognisable at this point, though it had possibly been something from a show at some point. He knew what it was, of course, but he noted that it didn't look very great anymore. Maybe it was time to get a new one. Watch a new show. He seemed to have time for that.
Tove tilted his head back and stared up at the textured ceiling, eyes narrowing slightly. The cabin was more active than it had been for an entire year and he didn't know if he liked it or not.

Louis Emmeric Henley
After Louis introduced himself, he flashed a quick grin to everyone in the room, trying to lighten up the mood. He knew how tense and awkward introductions were โ hell, heโd been really awkward his first time on an official SEALs team. Heโd been the biggest kid in the room, but the shyest, and didnโt know how to respond and react to the older, more experienced vets. But luckily, his humor surfaced, and soon, Lou was a pro at intros. He didnโt mind that this team was very awkward (at the moment), but he knew that would change and a unified team dynamic would form (hopefully soon, because Lou can only do so much to quell the awkward).
The small male next to him, Jay Yoon, introduced himself. But what caught Louis off-guard was the manโs codename.
Rabbit? RABBIT?!
Lou beamed at the smaller man, obviously enjoying the cute nickname that fit Jay very well.
Personally, I wouldโve gone with Bambi, but Rabbitโs good. I hope Bambi isnโt offensive to him. But he does look like a very pretty deer, and for a pretty deer to be in a top-secret organization like Veil, heโd have to have gone through some hardships, very much like Bambi.
Louโs amber eyes flickered back to Tove Jasper, as the shorter man held some paperwork in his hands as well as a mug that read โ#1 Dadโ. Taking that information as well as the picture frames around the room, their boss was definitely sentimental and emotional, although he kept it pretty private.
His attention turned to Skylar, who seemed to be the tech-y one of the group. She seemed like a feisty one, communicating her strong dislike of the nickname Sky.
โJust a heads up, I am allergic to strawberries. Itโd be a shame to die of anaphylactic shock before I did anything for this team.โ Lou grinned cheerily. He always carried an epi-pen around and hadnโt had an allergic reaction in years, but he definitely didnโt want to take any chances. As soon as he finished his little blurb, he heard a knock on the door behind him. Jay got the door to reveal a tall man. Heโd come in with a Stabucks, and heโd come late.
โSomeoneโs late.โ Lou said to the new man, jokingly. He grinned at the guy, who stood at the same height as him. โAt least you were smart enough to bring your own coffee, though. Iโm Louis, or Lou. Codename Sigmund.โ

Cam allowed her gaze to rake over the team mates, eyes glistening with calculated interest and curiosity. She stopped on each of the members that had introduced themselves and memorized their stance, their tension, and the way their eyes glistened with promise. Were they confidant or meek as they introduced themselves? Did they look at her or the floor? She tried to take hold of all the information she could in the few seconds they talked, hoping to get a read on them. It was something that she had learned to do years ago at competitions. Introductions told a multitude of things about a person, like if they were going to be a push over or if she would have to fight for first place. Not everyone realized that the way they presented themselves when meeting someone spoke volumes and Cam used that to her advantage. So she took the opportunity to see who of the group were the lions and who were the rabbits.
Well, I automatically know Jay is a rabbit. She snickered to herself and shook her head at him. Ok, that wasn't fair. But seriously. Who picks Rabbit as a code name? You just made yourself an easy target. Poor choice kid. In the army, you didn't give anyone the opportunity to tease you. You kept embarrassing secrets to yourself because the men would never let you live it down. The way Louis was beaming at the man confirmed her theory. He was bound to be teased for that. Who knew what other nicknames people would come up with? Biting her bottom lip to resist giving him a hard time, she turned her attention to Skylar who was watching the two men as well. At first, she had seemed meek, subdued even, but after her speech, Cam knew that she could very well be a closet lion. The Tank liked her already.
It was then that she heard the knock on the door and before she could register what was happening, Rabbit had already opened the door. She tensed, her hand flying to her hip where her hunting knife was sheathed. It was unwise to go into a situation unarmed so Cam made sure her trusty pal Mr. Knife was attached to her belt. In the door way stood a tall man with Starbucks coffee. Her first inclination was the relax and introduced herself as Louis had (honestly, the man was much to lax), but years of training told her to make certain this man was their linguist before she moved her hand. At least she hoped they were missing the linguist. That would be awkward if not. Cam raised her chin and stared the guy down with an even gaze, "You're the linguist right?" She paused, her tone mellowing, "Was Starbucks so important that it made you late?"
She despised the habitually tardy, and she hoped for this man's sake that he didn't make this a regular thing. Honestly, it was being inconsiderate and a waste of time. That was one of the things that she had enjoyed so much about military life: tardiness was unacceptable. One of her aunts could never show up to anything on time; she didn't really like that aunt to much.
