[ They have indeed been through this. Maine agreed to stop wearing his armor before, albeit hesitantly. But, after meeting that man whose name he didn't catch?
"I bet it hurts when you swallow. I bet it really fucking hurt where he shot you."
He's not allowing himself to be vulnerable. Not for a fucking second.
Maine grunts and hacks off another slab of meat with more force than necessary. The blade hits bone; he makes a face as he tugs it free, then growls:
"Insurrectionist."
If Wash doesn't know who he's talking about, Maine knows that he'll have a bigger problem on his hands. As it stands, he's reasonably confident that he can handle it on his own. That he's the one that the stranger wants to hurt. ]
