lmao i am so bad at math BUT that works out, military bros for sure! rian was a commissioned officer so he'd still outrank cael in chain of command, but probably looked to his experience in certain situations? they're definitely one in the same as far as being a little smug and confident. very sad when cael wound up going mia or becoming a captive, but glad to get him back. rian is also stupid rich and well-connected, so maybe not a bad target for the glf to have a sleeper agent get close to?
