"Me too, General," Fives answers with a warm, slightly soppy smile, and immediately turns a smirk on Cody as Tup leads the General out the door to the access stairs at the end of the hall, DB on their heels as the door closes behind them.
Tup, for his part, is just as tall and almost as broad as his brothers, though he's clearly not carrying as much muscle mass. Still, he would probably be just about as intimidating to a stranger, but there's something a little subdued, maybe even timid about how he holds himself that makes him seem younger. Smaller. Altogether less imposing than his boisterous older brothers.
"I, uh... I don't remember if I ever thanked you, General," he murmurs about halfway to the stairs, only looking at the General out of the corner of his eye as he walks. "I don't... I don't remember a lot. From then. But Fives said-" He stops and chews at his chapped lips and reaches an open hand down that DB apparently recognizes as a request for reassurance, butting his broad head up under Tup's hand for him to ruffle his ears. "He said you kept them from, uh... putting me down. When I got sick."
