[ Wash's instincts are spot on. Maine would never intentionally hurt his friend — but he could certainly get pissed off at him. Turn a deaf ear to reason and barricade himself with his rage. But before he edges closer to that point, Wash backs off.
Maine releases a breath between clenched teeth. Lets the machete fall back to his side as he waits for whatever else Wash has to say. Much as he'd like Wash to just believe him, he doubts his friend will leave it at that.
When Wash speaks again, the massive man twitches in surprise.
... Ah. Shit.
Tension drains from Maine's frame as he realizes what the problem is: he didn't tell Wash that the Innie asshole threatened him. Too blindsided by the inexplicable trust, he guesses. Stupid.
Maine gives a short nod. Yeah, Ephemera threatened him. ]
