for all intents and purposes the old guard look like a bunch of young to middle aged warrior god(esse)s, but I can’t shake the feeling that they are still Old People™️ and have a bunch of Old People habits that will drive Nile spare

- Booker is unable to read anything without muttering to himself, probably harrumphs whenever he sees something he doesn’t agree with

- don’t know why, Joe just strikes me as a whistler

- Nicky probably licks his fingers before he turns the pages of a book, and really thoroughly as well, making Nile go: “Is this absolutely necessary?”

- apart from the disrupted sleep schedule on missions, they also will get up at the crack of dawn probably, or random times in the night, Andy is already basically a certified Potterer who will not sit still and just check that everything is still where it’s supposed to be

- there’s ten thousands posts about their clothes already but like. they all probably have atrocious things in their cupboards just for creature comforts and “practicality”, I’m talking Crocs. Blanket Sweaters. Ear muffs in colder climes. Hideous aprons made of acrylic that look more flammable than early Barbie dolls

- also not from Andy, but Joe and Nicky both give me “well in my day” lecturer vibes, Nile probably can’t mention anything about food/art/what she learned in school/something she saw teenagers do that day without either of them recounting AT LENGTH a story from their “youth”

- Booker probably makes jokes that are either inappropriate (like. self-depricatingly so.) or just way too obscure for anyone to understand

- there’ll also be adorable shit like Nicky always saving the last apricot for Joe or something and Andy checking in on everyone and turning the lights off twice

Basically what I’m saying is Nile will probably feel like she’s moved in with her grandparents or worse in the first couple of years, and desperately tries to snap them out of their routines
