[Shit. Whoops. Of course Tucker picks up on it, and of course he saves her from her own screw up. It's like a well practiced routine with them at this point. Kyna doesn't want to make it worse, so she just lets Tucker carry the conversation, leaning into Wash slightly as a silent apology.]
[Tucker has decided that the eggplant is done frying, so he starts layering it into the glass dish with the pasta sauce and some herbs he stole out of a garden in the orchard. Nobody'll miss them, right?]
I've heard that Rage'll give you bullets if you kill something. [He frowns.] Something like a monster outta the caves, probably. The problem with that being you'd probably waste ammo to do it.
Yeah, she does. I've gone hunting a few times since she got back already, killing shit with knives but I should do it more. It's only one clip a corpse.
[ He's been spending most of his non-training time with Kyna lately. ]
[He's frustrated about the cheese, but oh well. He counts off on his fingers.]
There's me, Kyna, and Harlan. We've been there since the start. Corbet's our big sword guy, he clears a path, but K's right, he's big and noisy as fuck. Bell's a healer, she came with us on a couple jobs, but she's not a permanent member. She's a gnome, though, so she has an easier time with the small spaces.
[He pauses.] I'm not being mean, gnomes are really just like four feet tall.
When we started out it was us and Corbet's brother, Arkent, but I guess he got sick of our shit or something. And then Reggie, but he was a cat for a while, and when we fixed him he dipped. And uh... Panna. I guess she counts. And then Panna tried to make us work with this total fucking dickbag named Morg, but that lasted about three seconds.
[ Huh. She's never mentioned any of those people, but he supposes he didn't ask for more information on her team. Just assumed it was the three of them... silly, really, considering how many people on his team back home. And Kyna knows about all of them now. Wash files the names away to ask more later, but for now: ]

Did you learn from Carolina?
no subject
I could probably learn swords here. Might be fun.
[ He goes very still and quiet for a moment at Kyna's question, then shakes his head. ]
Connie.
no subject
Yeah, there's a bunch of swords in that armory, down across the river. Battle axes too, if you're feeling nostalgic. No guns, though. I checked.
[Because of course he did.]
People still use swords where we're from, but they're mostly for monsters. There are some things bullets won't kill. [He shrugs.]

Luckily I'm covered on the gun front. Could stand to stockpile some more ammo, though.

no subject
[That's the first she's heard of this.]
Why didn't you just have me go kill something and get the ammo for you?
no subject
[ He's been spending most of his non-training time with Kyna lately. ]
no subject
[He got two whole boxes for surviving that paintball thing.]
And I didn't have you get me any because I've got some for now. Also: stay out of the caves, your ribs are broken.
no subject
[Everyone is so protective!]
no subject
We can go when you're healed, if you want. What kind of bullets do you need, Tucker?
no subject
[Unless it's supposed to be a date. In which case whoops.]
My revolver fires .38 special. But like I said, I'm good for now.
[He doesn't like owing people, mostly.]
no subject
You should have extra, though. It's gonna suck if you need ammo and don't have it.
no subject
[ He's not certain four people could move stealthily through the tunnels, but if Tucker wants to make it a party Wash isn't going to argue. ]
no subject
[He pops the glass dish in the oven.]
Wait, shit. I forgot cheese.
[Fuck!]

There are more people on your team?

[Now he's caught up.]
no subject
A cat?
[ He's never actually met a cat. ]
no subject
[The fact that a circus was keeping a human body that behaved like a cat is a fucked up scenario he's already thought way too much about.]
Or are you asking about cats in general?
no subject
[A stunning contribution to this conversation, but it was.]
no subject
[ He doesn't think he wants the details on what the circus was doing with the human body. ]
I've never met a cat before. Watched a ton of videos, though.
no subject
[He can't even imagine a planet without cats. He misses his own.]
I've got three back home. Harlan has his with him, maybe you could convince him to show her to you.
no subject
[Kyna is saying that fondly, so who knows what that means. She pulls her phone out of her back pocket, then starts to scroll through her pictures.]
I have a cat, too. He's the best. Hold on.
