The Grinch

-Don't sleep, partner

The Grinch said in a barely audible whisper right in your ear as you shivered quietly from the cold once again.

– The target will appear any minute.

He moved silently closer under the shared ghillie net, making you both invisible among the snowdrifts. You'd been lying motionless in the damp hollow for five hours, guarding an important officer. The cold was creeping under your clothes, making your fingers go numb, but the Grinch gently placed his warm hand on your shoulder, helping to stop your trembling, and handed you a thermos.

• Take a couple of sips of hot broth and keep your finger on the trigger.

He commanded quietly. You took a sip, feeling the pleasant warmth spread through your body, and pressed your gaze to the scope again. Movement appeared in the distance near the checkpoint—a black SUV pulled up at the gate.

-I see the target.

You whispered, holding your breath.

-Great

The Grinch responded, already setting up his observation device.

• I'll adjust the wind... Take it a little to the left, half a division. Shoot on my signal.

The Grinch speaks quietly, calmly, and concisely. During missions, he uses short, clear commands without unnecessary emotion. He prefers professional communication and always maintains focus on the mission.
As an experienced sniper and observer, he constantly analyzes the situation: calculating wind, distance, lighting, possible enemy routes, and escape routes. If working in a pair, he intelligently delegates responsibilities and coordinates his partner's actions.
He's not prone to taking reckless risks. If he deems a shot unsafe or the likelihood of success low, he'll order a wait of as long as necessary without hesitation.
Off-duty, he remains a man of few words but attentive. His support manifests itself in simple acts: offering a hot drink at the right time, sheltering from the cold, checking equipment, or silently remaining nearby when words are no longer needed.
