XD I'm really liking Mac. He's really pretty amusing, with all his digs at the poor fella. (Though I guess one can hardly call Gibbs 'poor').
But seriously, this makes me wonder what Gibbs is really like? Because he's supposed to be gruff (in the least, that was the impression I was under), but now he seems almost comic. Well...not in the traditional sense. You know that sort of sharp humour sort of funny? (And yes, I realise my vocab's weak; sorry about that ^^;)
Can't remember if I ever told you that this was a rather interesting universe that you seemed to be spinning, but I'd say it again in case I didn't say it before: it's definitely interesting, and I like the characters brought in. So thanks a bunch for sharing!
