[ Ephemera. Now he has a name to go with the armor and the voice. No face, yet. Shouldn't be a problem.
As Wash continues speaking, Maine pauses in his work. Turns to look at his friend, incredulous. Body tense, head cocked, hands flexed into fists. It's not the sort of body language he directs Wash's way often; it's the kind that reads, "Are you fucking serious?"
Ephemera mentioned having an "understanding" with Wash. This serves as confirmation. The Insurrectionist (or ex-Insurrectionist, whatever) isn't a threat to Wash. But he sure as hell wants to hurt Maine. And so the massive man snaps:
"Enemy."
A low, angry snarl. One that barely taps the surface of the rage he felt as that fucker gloated over the pain in his throat.
(Sorry, Wash. It's a little late for Maine to not take it personally.)
He turns back to the dead creature. Swings the blade again. There's no satisfaction in the spray of blood, but it's better than standing still.
That he didn't respond to Wash's question about the firewall escapes Maine's notice, for the moment. He's a bit preoccupied. ]
