[Because Ocelot can't stand rumours or people talking about him, Miller or the Boss without their permission. Those men who talked would soon find themselves being interrogated.]
[He looks kinda frightened at the idea of having to say this. But he can't deny you, can he?]
"Boss's old lover is back, wonder if this will means there's going to be trouble with Commander Miller" [Nervous, Huey pushes his glasses, and his hand doesn't leave them afterwards, fingers playing with the metal rim of them.] I-I'm. Really sorry, Ocelot. Couldn't catch whose faces those men had, just heard their voices.
[Huey does a metaphorical spit-take while mun is nodding enthusiastically. Red on the face, he sputters:] I-I really would rather NOT have that mental image, thank-you-very-much. [In a lower, slightly chagrined tone:] And here I was worried you'd get angry...
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm still jealous of what Miller and the Boss had before I came along, it's just I thought it's better to get along and integrate, rather than brood and be alone. Sure, Miller and I have our differences, but the Boss seems to bring us all together in a good way. [A very good way.]
[Is Huey sulking? Perhaps.] Ocelot... I, ah, appreciate the trust y-you're showing me right now, but. I really didn't need to know, and I'm sorry that I asked, even. You do know I'm not that way, yes?
[But there's some wavering in his voice that takes out the bite from is words. Just a little. Huey looks a little bit bitter like this, gaze turned downwards.]
[Strangest of it all, but it's true he's not used to non-agressive physical contact. And now he doesn't know what to say. Finally:] I'm... an optimist, Ocelot. I don't get depressed.
[He offers you a smile.] But those, now... those are words I really wanted to hear.
Proud to be one. As proud as -I'd bet- you are of being... an interrogation specialist. [And he may be feeling well enough to tease back, even.] I have been married to my job since I was little more than a child, so. Why not.
[Do not read into this, but it's true he likes you the best from all the people in the base. And if that's not some weird form of Stockholm Syndrome...]
[And right now, that's the cue for his smile to become a little more tense.] Ah, Ocelot, I really hope you're still talking about my job. That's the only marriage I've ever needed, honestly.
[He let it slip during the interrogation how he'd been married before. He hoped that wouldn't get him in trouble later. But he appears to be back to his pleasant, cheerful mood so it's alright, no?] Why would I be upset?
Sahelanthropus is a pretty thing, though. You can visit her anytime. R&D gets quite lonely, usually nobody comes to my hangar.
[Oh, he gets that by Ocelot's tone, don't worry.] Ah, I don't think so. Didn't you say you liked weapons? I could show you my kind, then. What do you say?

Well, how do you know we don't all get along now? Better than before.

Don't be sorry, Emmerich. If you never ask, you'll never get anywhere. Besides, are you sure you're not the one who's jealous now?

No, I won't. I can't take the image out my head of you in that chair.

Hey, doc. Don't get all depressed on me now, you're not having any torture anymore, if we can help it.

You're married to your work, that's fine. I'm married to my guns.
