"A lot. I was the rookie," Wash says as explanation, "and I reacted just enough to be funny. People like that always get it the worst. Sometimes I gave it back if York was being a prick but for the most part, I didn't mind. I was bullied as a kid, teasing's different."

He doesn't rise to that kind of thing anymore, certainly not as comically as he used to. Maybe some of how he used to be was just wanting to have a place with the other Freelancers, wanting to fill that role because it was safe. He hadn't let on, back then, just how angry he was. Better to be the rookie.
