He doesn't mind being annoying and infuriating so long as those are the traits that Faraday is going to keep liking, seeing as he thinks that's why they get along so well. It's because they're not the typical men and women of a small town, content to live a life that's boring (if Vasquez has an opinion about it), grinning as he watches Faraday riding off.
Vasquez gives his mare a light prodding kick to get him into action to follow, mindful of Faraday's descent from his saddle when they arrive. He's in a hurry to get off his own horse, noticing that people are rushing away, but that it typically happens after they get too long of a look at him.
With a sinking feeling, Vasquez already knows why they're not so inclined to smile at Faraday.
"You're keeping unwanted company," he says flatly, wishing he could nudge all the bitterness and anger from his tone, but it still comes across. One hand on Faraday's back to gently ease him off of Jack, he glances up to the general store and the boarding house, wondering which one is better to stop at first. "We have enough cigarettes and other supplies to get a room or do you want to stop for things, first?"
Because he'd meant it when he said that if they had a bed, Faraday could do things to him, but while Vasquez might enjoy an adventure, fucking without oil isn't one he's very keen on.
