    Summary

    Soldiers weren’t shaped with love in mind. A soldier began plastic, like a babe. He would then be moulded into a uniform shape, a rigid silhouette that followed the will of his master. A shadow, a hound.
    Joe had been a soldier for centuries. His duty to Andromache was written into his nerves, his muscles. But instinct alone did not guide him. Every day he had a choice. Choosing to follow Andromache had been one of the bravest decisions of his long life, second only to loving Nicolò.

    Or: A meditation on the Old Guard men and ‘masculinity,’ through Joe.

    Summary

    ‘Don’t get up,’ Joe throws at Booker who is currently bleeding on the floor from the cut on his eyebrow. The new immortal is stubborn and hotheaded and it doesn’t take long for him to end up in a sparring with no less hotheaded Joe, and neither Andy nor Nicky are surprised when the two of them end up settling on a hand to hand.
