(BL) Hunting The Field Guide

Kellen got to speak with Gwen on the fourth day. It was normally something that wouldn’t be allowed, but Kellen knew that half of it was because of what he had told Rhys, while the other half was because of who she was as a person.

Gwen wasn’t the kind of person to rub this treatment in someone else’s face. She also appeared to be able to get along with everyone and anyone she spoke to.

It was originally a surprise for Kellen, since he was in a meeting with Sergei, Hill, Brent, Rhys, Miro and Casper about the developments involving the gate. Kellen didn’t even think anything of it, since everyone who was on the front lines was in one frame, and everyone else was beside Kellen.

He didn’t even register until she walked into frame, all smiles.

"Hey bro!" She called, an infectious, wide grin on her face that had Kellen immediately going from his serious work persona into his more relaxed older brother stance.

"Gwen. What are you doing here? Don’t you know you don’t have the clearance for being in this tent?" Kellen said, glancing at the other members in the tent. Brent was giving him a look like he was a damn idiot, but Kellen couldn’t help himself. That was going to be his first concern because it was true.

She didn’t have clearance to be in that tent, nor did she have the clearance to know what was going on. Gwen’s grin didn’t falter. She knew her brother, after all, and wasn’t upset by what he said. She sighed, wrapping her arm around Brent’s shoulders and neck, resting on him.

"Come on Kellen, as if I wouldn’t be here without special permission. Don’t you miss me? Love me? Want to see me? Come on, I’m your only flesh and blood, and it isn’t as if you or Rhys can carry a baby to term, so I’m your only option if you want to have kids who resemble you." Kellen’s jaw fell open as his eyes widened. Rhys fell over in a fit of laughter while Gwen smiled smugly at the screen.

Hill raised her hand, and Gwen slapped it, the sound echoing through the speakers.
