Soap never did anything right in his eyes, and on the rare occasion that he did, it never met his expectations. His mother only craved peace and quiet, coveted the silence of a harmonious home, and sought to do what she could to have it ⸻ usually at the expense of prioritizing her children, leaving them at the mercy of their unappeasable father. His sisters behaved while under the microscope, rebelling while out of sight and reach of reproach, and resented him for making their home lives harder than they needed to be with his stubbornness. Needless to say, his relationship with his biological family is poor, and he rarely, if ever, contacts them or keeps in touch ( he is completely no-contact with his father ).
His first taste of community and camaraderie was found within his school football team ⸻ but his first true family was found with Task Force 141. No words can adequately describe the depth of his affection and devotion to his squadmates, and no other group will ever compete or compare. Soap has found his place, his purpose, and his home with his men; they are his, and he is theirs, through thick and thin, for better or for worse; loyal to them above all else, their word, thoughts, and feelings take priority over all others, reasoning and policy be damned. Price or Ghost tell him to jump? Soap says how high. To bark? He says how loud. To kill? With fuckin' pleasure.
It's dangerous, he knows, his devotion to 141, but he doesn't care, and he won't change it, nor will he hide it. Those men are his family. They bleed together, spill blood together, nearly die together, come out victorious together. Soap has never felt more secure and connected with any other people in his life, and he never will.

If it were up to him, he'd turn heel and leave right now, this man and his half-baked mission be damned ⸻ but it isn't up to him, and he'd already agreed to...behave, unfortunately. However, what 'behaving' entails is entirely up to him.
He scoffs, shaking his head. Un-fuckin'-believable. ❝ So what I'm hearin' is, your men are shite at their job, so you called us in to do what they can't, yeah? ❞ Pausing then, letting those words meander in his mind a while longer, letting them stroke his ego ( as if it needs it ) before nodding. ❝ These 'resources' of yours ⸻ lemme see'em. Then I'll let you know if we've got a deal. ❞
Attentive gaze sharply lifts with a precise tilt of chin, authoritative demeanor unflinching as it meets the gaze of the man hired for the jobᅳSoap. Such a unique moniker, codename, or what have youᅳand yet how fitting... Fingers interlacing as it nestle their way unto the breadth of well-polished desk, surface reflecting both the ambient light and the known glint into those deep oceanic pools.

❝ Nothin' to find in there, really. Don't carry cash on me these days. ❞ Not a complete lie, but he knows for a fact there's no cash in his wallet at the moment; he spent all he carried on lunch a few hours prior. He holds out his hand now, palm up, curling his fingers impatiently. ❝ Now, if you'd be so kind, miss lady, I'd like that back. ❞
