[ John's just going to take a sip off his drink here. ]

Where do you think I'm from?

[beltbucklerebel]

[Booth frowns, giving him a sideways glance. Is this a trick question?]

England. Or...Britain...or whatever the hell you're supposed to call it now.

[theblogger]

[ It's not a trick question, per se... ]

England is a part of Britain, yeah. That's like saying you're from the United States.

What part of England, do you suppose?

[beltbucklerebel]

Hey now...That's different.

[theblogger]

[ John arches his brows. ]

You expect me to know what part of your country you sound like you're from; I don't see how it's different.

Unless you can't name more than two cities in England. S'alright if you don't - just admit it.

[beltbucklerebel]

Mine's a bigger country.

[you know what they say about size.

...and no, he can't]

[theblogger]

Mine's an older one. So what?

[beltbucklerebel]

Army, right?

[see? He can make nice]

[theblogger]

[ John could do quiet, though this is not the sort of comfortable silence among friends so much as it is a lack of things to say. His eyes flicker over at the question. Sherlock had mentioned former military about Booth, and Sherlock was almost never wrong. Not that John couldn't recognize such a thing himself by the way the man held himself. ]

Used to be, yeah. RAMC. You?

[beltbucklerebel]

Rangers, and Special Forces.

[theblogger]

[ A nod. ]

How long since?

[beltbucklerebel]

I was in Afghaniston for a little over half a year, training troops. Just got back a few months ago.

Before that, though, it'd been awhile. I'm a special agent with the FBI, now.
