By the time Trys approached him, Darmus had taken his fancy drink from the bar and turned to watch the pool-mayhem with the bemused smile of an uncle. Meaning that it was fun to watch the kids play just because he wasn't responsible for their actions and clearly not the most senior in rank, either. "Oh, you know me-" he replied to Trys after the comment about him still being alive, but paused momentarily as he spotted Bast's cybernetic spine, "-staying alive is one of my more notable skills." and it was true, for he had more years of service than some of these lieutenants combined and rangers usually never got to fifty... and he was only a year away.
It didn't take long for Trys to get approached for some kind of handstand drinking game and while Darmus was all into drinking games he figured he'd sit this one out and made some room for them as he moved to one of the sunbathing chairs alongside the pool. "You drowning, Corran?" he even asked, watching Corran slink away in the pool casting embarrassing looks over to Lieutenant Aran. If he wasn't drowning in the pool, he sure was drowning in emotions. Kriff, didn't he have a kid on the way with a civilian? Darmus sighed as he sat down and leaned back, his face right smack in the sun and his ears far enough removed to not catch every little piece of conversation between his fellow rangers.
Then he just closed his eyes and died peacefully in his sleep. Okay, he didn't die, but he really could just fall asleep there if left alone.
