Can I also point out that Maxim and Oggie are really good at the Jaeger banter? Like I know that’s been mentioned in…
I think the thing with Oggie is that he has traits that would be useful in a spy – the banter is totally on purpose, he’s good at being underestimated, and he’s surprisingly empathic which is useful when you want someone to understand where the other side is coming from – but he. cannot. keep. a. secret. unless someone punches him. It’s not even horsing around, he’ll try to spill secrets (like who Agatha is) that they genuinely want to keep. It does seem to only be to people he trusts, but he’s willing to go totally on instinct.
Maxim’s got more sense of when to shut up. Also more respect for the chain of command (although sometimes that goes too far the other way and he doesn’t want to act if he’s unsure of approval). And he’d have fun dressing up.
(I took Dimo’s comment about Oggie the other way – Oggie would tease him about something like this while Maxim’s interested enough that he wouldn’t find it funny.)
I’m just wondering if Oggie thinks that Dimo suffers from some sort of horrible affliction where his stubble grows right back after he shaves it, and if he ever found out that Dimo could clean up so nice, he’d be constantly nagged by Oggie about how he should work harder on dressing nicer.
A million times agreed. Oggie also happens to be, as well as in posession of a big mouth, a Horrible Liar (syned, a brik) and Dimo’s done done all the lying for them that I recall (though I have a poor memory).
I wonder if Jenka is the type to let this valuable information slip
