"He probably would." The blond man agreed subdued and tired sounding.
Normally, Wash would never be so open about his own past or personal demons. The whiskey it seemed had loosened his tongue enough that he actually unclenched long enough to actually talk about it.
He'd probably be ashamed and aggravated tomorrow about this and the inevitable hangover would have nothing to do with his sour mood.
Tucker's next question drew a quiet sounding sigh from the Freelancer and Wash slanted another look over at the Sim trooper. "I don't know, honestly. I was a regular soldier once and then the Project happened and now I can't even remember what that was like any more."
Wash didn't talk about what Epsilon had done to his memories. How he'd spent a year in the Freelancer psych-ward under twenty-four hour supervision because he'd tried to kill himself repeatedly in an attempt to get the sounds of screaming and Epsilon's horrors from his mind.
"Why don't I take my bottle and let you get some rest? That can't be very comfortable." Admittedly, Wash didn't have too much experience with trying to snuggle up against someone in full armor in little more than civvies.
