Jules nodded his head at Lili as she entered the room tiredly and snorted as she commented on their earliness. Carter swaggered in, looking tired as well but still mischievous. Jules tuned the man out, thinking about his project's problems, until he heard his name.

"Oh yeah, and Jules smile for me will ya'? I love it when you smile."

Julian rarely fully smiled, but Carter always knew how to make him laugh. At this moment he gave a sort of half smile, which was still an accomplishment for Carter.

"It's because I'm so beautiful isn't it," he chuckled softly and took a sip of his coffee contentedly. This was the kind of thing he loved, listening to the other's banter and feeling safe and happy.

As Carter made a comment about the state of Lili and Axel's relationship Jules looked on in amusement. Everyone knew that the two had a thing for each other, but we're too nervous to figure out that they both liked each other. Jules thought about his love interest for a moment but then shook it off. Why did all the people he liked have to be straight? He shook his head and tuned back into the conversation again, because Axel seed to be saying something important. He had his serious face on.

"Lord Mustache made sure to remind me that we've got a mission today. Evidently it's a real mission, and not that patter crap we've been getting. Might get to see some real action!" He said with some excitement. "I'm supposed to make sure Talos knows."

Jules perked up at this, a real mission with Talos was exciting, he just had to figure out the ATOs on time. With that, Axel left, commenting on how they should eat more, but Jules went and sat down on the couch instead, content with his coffee and supplement. He wondered what the mission was, hopefully not too dangerous, because then it would be a good opportunity to test out some new add-ons and equipment.

"I suppose we should all shower or put on presentable clothes at least," he said to the two still left in the room, old habits of presentation kicking in. This briefing seemed like something that they should halfway try and look nice for, especially if they wanted to outshine Talos, which Jules didn't particularly care about, but he knew the others did.
