            “ something tells me you’d just like the idea of me on my knees .  ” graves grunted , eyes rolling a tad .  “ unfortunately for you that’s not gonna happen .  ” he wasn’t a man of weakness , graves won’t kneel to anyone—  not even shepard .  let alone grant .  “ yeah ?  and what does my face tell you  ,  huh ?  please enlighten me .  since i’m clearly oh so wrong .  ”

     `` oh , wow . straight to the knees and declarations of love  ? didn't  know you could be dramatic  . if you do that , I will say I have to record it . `` there was a hint of teasing in there . `` all I want is for you to stop acting like all this doesn't mean anything to you . your words don't fool me one bit , no matter how many excuses you use or how much you deny it to my face . your face always tells a different story . ``

            “ would make MY job hell of a lot easier .  ” the commander sighed , pinching the bridge of his nose for a moment .  “ what ?  you think everybody in texas knows each other and are friendly ?  nah .  not everybody  ,  it’s a big state .  not much to do believe it or not  ,  half the reason i joined the military .  ”

     ``  and where is the fun in all that  ? besides the day I ever get observant on the job you know it's not me . `` he gave a playful grin to the dry comment . `` do y'all really talk to everyone and anybody ? no matter where ? ``

            “ appreciate the observation .  should be THIS observant while on the job .  ” graves replies dryly , almost sarcastic in tone .  “ not anythin’ to be impressed by .  it’s what y’all folks think as ‘cowboy’ and ‘western’ .  ”
