What's the chances that he could lie and get away with it? Given how poorly the last lie had gone (though, he could also argue that the last lie turned out incredible seeing as look where they are now). Still, that doesn't mean he has to face Faraday when he confesses to the truth. Shrugging, he deliberately doesn't look in Faraday's direction as he decides that it's easier to just ignore him.
"You don't strike me as someone who wants to be around when things get hard and far from fun," he says with a shrug of his shoulders, because it's not like they've been facing adversity and Faraday's injury had meant Vasquez stayed.
Sometimes he wonders, if it had been the other way around, would he have been left to mend in Rose Creek on his own?
"I think, maybe, one day, you'll get tired of always having to watch my back, protect me, avoid towns and not have a real life." Selfishly, Vasquez knows that if he had a choice, it would eventually start to wear at even him. "I don't like the thought of becoming a burden that you start to resent."
