Didn't attack Maine, which sure is something big for him, but Wash doesn't know how to explain any of that. ] ...not our enemy. Old habits just die hard, try not to take it personally. He hated all of us but one at a time we've been getting along.

[ He knows Maine trusts him, but this is a huge ask. ]

I know it's hard to accept, like basically everything here, but he's been an ally. If you want to stay in your armor until he proves himself I understand. You just need the firewall. We can install it after we clean up?
