The shock on his face when he spun was unmistakable, but the actual color of the expression after his hands flew up to cover his mouth was a bit harder to discern. He stood there for a long stretch of time, and he looked like he might be smiling behind his fingers, but it wasn't long before tears were rolling down his face, and at the same time, there was obvious disbelief in his eyes.

"They-...they just...they let you go???"

Oh yeah, there was that sob that he kept trying to choke back, but he was laughing, too. He buried his face in his hands, leaning against the bumper of the car behind him as he tried to give himself a moment to deal with the turmoil of emotions he was feeling, but he at least had enough control of himself to nod at the question about bullets, of all things.

He was ok, he was going to be ok, the Eye had let him go and that meant he would be safe! That was maybe the best news he had heard in...in a long, long time, and for once, he was crying out of pure relief, absolute joy, even if this man wasn't the same one he'd lost, even if they never crossed paths again after going their separate ways, he was free of the Eye!

After he'd had a moment to let himself feel what he was feeling, he finally managed to collect himself, wiping his face as dry as it was going to get as he stood up from the car and grinned up at Wolfwood, a wide, genuine expression like he hadn't shown for a long time.

"Oh yeah, I've got bullets, don't worry! Still don't like killing people with them, so you'll have to take what you can get!"
