[ The snarling retort that was building to all of that bullshit dies in Wolfwood's throat at that last bit. Lord in fucking heaven but there's only so many times he can kick that sad-eyed dog before he starts feeling bad about it -- the man can't help being pathetic, can he?
This, right here? This is what friendship does to you. This is what caring about people does. It makes you weak, makes you vulnerable, puts you at the mercy of people who don't have a drop of love in them. Too old and tired, yeah, he hears that lesson, and trust that he's learned it.
He needs Needles here with him still. He needs the man's gun, more precisely, and they're a package deal. He needs the man's supplies too, since he's doing inventory -- if Stampede's right, and they've been heading toward December instead of anywhere closer, then the water he's got on him won't be enough. The only way he's getting out of this sand pit alive is with a miracle, or with this asshole here.
He is really, really starting to hate this version of the world.
Wolfwood glowers at Stampede for a long moment, considering all his options -- such as they are -- before giving in with a shake of his head. ]
