Re: Savannah/Marty
"Yes well I'm glad to have gotten that silly idea out of your head." He said with a small smirk, there were so few things Marty was actually dead set against, but rooting for USC at any time was one of them. He chuckled when she squirmed away from him. "Violent?" He asked with a teasing grin. "I'll show you some real violence if you want." He threatened wiggling his fingers at her in warning. "I never wanted to be a cheerleader, thank you very much. I left that to far better people than me." No he'd been more interested in sleeping with cheerleaders than being one.
Perhaps she was right, but he was at least trying to understand this, her problems with doing this sort of job. "Yeah, I'm not exactly the best at that just yet, but I do get that." He was far more paranoid now than when he'd arrived, and despite that he was sure both Callen and Sam were far worse than him still in that regard.
"Any one of them could have been the bad guy though." He reminded her, it didn't make that easier and it probably didn't help Savannah, but sometimes the reminder made a small difference. He sighed and nodded when she summed up the way things would be if they stayed together even if they went back. "Yeah, it is." He wondered how she felt about that, if that was something she'd want to put up with in the long run, loving him or not. He was well aware that love was hardly enough for some people. And Savannah could have so much more than that if she really wanted. She didn't need to be stuck with him if they ever got back, she could have a life that was normal. "It's a lot to deal with, especially in the beginning." Even just the basics when he'd started at the police academy and the things he'd picked up over the years when he got promoted to detective and now with what he'd learned here. It was an on going process, and it never really got easier he was learning.
