"And how do you know women aren't sneaking into the men's restrooms to write about your prowess or lack there of?" Wash challenged him smoothly and with an arched brow. The scar through that brow sort of made the expression look a little lopsided and distorted thanks to the deadened nerve-endings not responding but he managed to convey that amusement all the same.
Wash lifted the bottle and took another sip from it and by now, his stomach was feeling so warm, he barely even felt the churning nausea that threatened to swallow him.
Who knew how the older man might have reacted to the knowledge that Tucker was looking at him close enough to notice his eyes were pretty. This close, Tucker could even see the starbursts of yellow-brown encircling the each pupil.
"No, I think I should do it alone. She's...not going to want an audience for this." Wash didn't bother to refute the accuracy of Tucker's statement about knowing Epsilon longer because well...technically he had considering he'd been the first person the AI interacted with. But the Alpha and Epsilon in part were all a reflection of Leonard Church and that was Carolina's secret that he would keep until his grave.
"Thanks for the drink, Tucker." He climbed to his feet and winced at the bright shaft of pain that went through him at that movement. Wash wasn't as young anymore an after a long day of battle, he was paying for it.
