Slowly, Radar nods.

Maybe it's not like Hawkeye so much after all. More like... well, there's stuff Radar talks about with Hawk that he'd never ever talk about with Colonel Potter or Father Mulcahy. And things he'd talk about with the Father he'd never say to his other friends or his CO. Enlisted guys like Klinger will know what Radar means when the officers don't; if he's got a question for a nurse, he's not gonna go to a doctor instead.

Maybe that's all this is. Except that you're dating everyone instead of just friends with them.

He gnaws his lip as he thinks it through. It still feels -- oh, he doesn't know. It really is a lot. He feels weird and squirmy picturing himself in this kind of situation, but... but it doesn't feel all bad. Does it?

Tentative, he says, "Can I think about it more? I, I mean, even with all the other stuff you're my boss on top of that too, and I dunno if that's, um. If you're worried about that at all. But -- " In a burst of courage, he squeezes her hand and makes himself really hold her gaze. "I really like you a lot, too, you know? You're one of my favorite people here."
