[In addition to his health and sense of sight, his pride has taken a major hit. It's not as easy to be confident in this state. Bravado so very forced at this point, and even he can tell it's all bullshit.]

Great.

[He'll take the cab and one less reason to feel awful so early in the night.]

You're probably right. [Said with a sigh. Not being able to see naked people has to be one of the worst parts about all of this. He needs to get laid, but it's probably more of that pity that keeps people away from him. Unlike Matt, he can't function almost normally in the dark. Who knows what people think?]

Fuck if I know. [There's a part of him that itches to get back to Mexico and fuck up every cartel member he can find until someone finally shoots him dead. Other than that? Nope, no plans other than just surviving.] No where else to go. Might as well stick around the only buddy I've got, right?

[He makes sure he knows where Matt's back is before patting it twice.]

You're a swell guy. I really mean that. Do I say that too often? Nah, I'll just keep saying it.
