[ Of all the things that Wash is not good at, answering questions with details that aren't pertinent to whoever asked the question is definitely near the top of the list. He doesn't share more than he needs to. He doesn't trust others with details, and if it's personal, why elaborate? From his experience, anyone who expresses concern in him doesn't necessarily mean it. He's been stabbed in the back too many times to believe that any concern is genuine. No matter how well he knows someone. Or, in Snake's case, how long he's known someone. ]

The mention of the outpost has Wash tensing on instinct. That place had been... rough. He's been through things plenty more traumatizing than anything he experienced there, but that doesn't necessarily mean it didn't still cause some level of trauma. Being captured, sold, beaten, and forced into fights that had him killing people who didn't deserve it affects the psyche, no matter who you are and what you've experienced in the past. ]

Most of them. Some are from the fight with the Caducans. I didn't get a lot of time for them to heal before... whatever happened, happened, and some of us ended up on the outpost.
