It's unfair for some folk to know and others not, but the significance of Tessas hat colour in one of the previous pages, shows that she's SAS. They're special. My Grandad was in the SAS, My dad was in 1para and just from the memories of the various men i was supposed to call uncle (my dad's squad and grandads friends) Even as young as I was you got this sense of..controlled chaos from them LOL.
My dad told me this story once, about how all the squads on base had to go for some kind of psyche evaluation, so each squad has to go in together, so when it comes to his squad going in, they sit in the waiting room and wait, bored they start playing around with knives or defacing waiting room magazines and have a bit of a play fight and generally keep themselves amused....Turns out the psyche evalutaion WAS the waiting room wait. Whilst the various other squads had generally sat quietly and waited, his had generally fucked the place up.
I suppose you have to be some sort of level of unhinged to throw yourself out of a perfectly working airplane
Both my grandad and dad were very similar in that they were both very practical men and wouldnt really tolerate deviation from that, it would be an instant anger flick switch if you were really seen to be wasting your time or doing pointless things, everything had to have a purpose or goal, like emotion didnt really come into it.
I think thats what i've always tried to show with Tessa, she's practical. Theres an issue? Get it fixed, get it done, no time for tears, don't like it, tough. she's def on the sadistic side, enjoys control and is comfortable with that. She's not really one for comforting or mollycoddling.
Anyway...have a shine page.
