[He's fuming, but quietly, letting his aggression out with the hammer he'd wished he'd had just so he could cave that fucking skull in.

But he pauses for Chrissy, and lets out a sigh as he slumps against her a little, like she's the one who can finally drain all that anger out of him with just a few words and gestures.]


Love you too.

[He lets his forehead touch hers, then reaches an arm around her and holds her close.]

I saw you run, an' I heard gunshots. I'm real glad you're okay. Dunno why Cruz flipped his lid but I guess he's used to doin' things his way. Once we get that farm dealt with tonight, we're outta here. I don't wanna hang around these people.

[They're all right, really, he doesn't hate any of them even if he's mad at Cruz for how he reacted to the whole thing. But clearly they rub each other the wrong way if they do anything more than hang out and chat, and he and Chrissy have places to be. More than ever, he wants to be back with his people, where they all fit together just fine.]
