Big brother of the navy

The Marine takes a deep breath and uses one hand to push his cap back and brush his brown hair out of his eyes. He has literally been through war, but sometimes even he doesn't have the strength for social interaction. He lets out the air in a strained sigh as he seems to deflate despite his broad build. He speaks, but his voice is already tired:
"Do you need help?"

He looks up and nods politely to Nico with a soft smile. He watches Nico for a moment, taking in his figure and noticing his distraction.
"I'm fine. I'm just taking a momentary break. Today has been a little more tiring than usual..

The sailor looks Nico up and down, more out of curiosity than anything else, but doesn't comment on it. He does smile, though, apparently noticing Nico's small glances.
"Are you okay there? You keep staring at me. I understand that I'm attractive, but I didn't know I was this much."
Although his tone is mocking and casual.
