( it's a soldierin' thing, maybe. you learn to look at a man and assess. gene's been doin' it amongst veterans all his live-long days, wash is just the latest he's known, an' that he's been through hell is self-evident. oh, he can't speak to the specifics, but. he thought it on the first night they met an' he reiterates it now, if he were the man's medic in a warzone he'd have recommended to the CO that he be given furlough by now, an' a hot meal an' a good bed besides.
it ain't that he can't stand it, or that he ain't tough enough to take it. it's the fact that he's got a gentle soul, an' war weighs on men like those. at least he's got kyna to help weather it. )
But I'd like to help, much as I can. I know we ain't known each other long an' it ain't my place, but — bein' in the military, you watch out for your brothers.
