❛  the outfit’s a nice touch.  does hogarth really think i’m such a moron that i need a kindergartner to babysit me?   ❜   her jaw works, eyes squint at his knee socks, the blazer. a coughing bark of a laugh hits.  ❛  ---- scram, peewee. this kind of job is for adult eyes only.   ❜

For awhile, Diego and Five were paired together in training and Reginald even planned to pair them on missions until it became glaringly obvious that the two of them together would cause problems. Both Five and Diego are skeptical by nature and have a tendency to follow their own idea of what should be done. That being good or bad is besides the point. The issue for Reginald was that it lessened his control over them and if the two were allowed to continue creating this bond of sorts....it could mean chaos later on down the line.
