Faraday leans against Jack as he waits for Vasquez to work his way through whatever the hell the man has going through his head. As a rule, Faraday isn’t a patient man, but he manages it for now. They’ve both had a hell of a day, Vasquez especially, and he can’t blame the man for needing a moment to unwind.
... Except he hardly seems to be unwinding. Hell, he looks like he’s getting even more twisted up in the reprieve Faraday offers him, and Faraday frowns in the dark, eyes narrowing and eyebrows knitting together.
When Vasquez finally speaks, Faraday feels himself softening a little with sympathy.
“I hear you,” he says quietly, one hand up in a placating gesture, like he’s speaking to a spooked horse. “But we got out, didn’t we? We’re fine. It’s over. We’ll just be more careful about keepin’ our heads down.”
