Lucky for the Asset, Devero's too attuned to pronoun stuff to just write that off. "It/its, then?" he says. That might throw most folks, but Devero just nods. "Copy that. If any of the rest of you have pronouns other than they/them, just let me know." He's not here to invalidate anyone's identity.

As Soldat continues, Devero combs his fingers through his hair again, then sweeps the shaggy locks back up into a short ponytail. "That's in line with the rest of what I've heard," he says. He shakes his head and sighs, sounding tired himself. "All we can do is work with what intel we do have, and just. Keep holding them back, I guess."
