Faraday grunts out a noise of frustration. He hardly knows why he asks, at this point; it's been months, and Vasquez still hasn't explained what "guero" meant. Why would he explain this brand new nickname?
His grousing is interrupted when Vasquez turns that wooden thing on his leg – something Faraday can only describe as some sort of peculiar rolling pin – and a noise of discomfort is punched out of him again. His teeth catch on his lower lip, caging in any other pained noises he might make, but as Vasquez works at it, the pain fades. It still aches, of course, but the knotted mess has eased, and moving his leg doesn't seem like such a tall order anymore.
Vasquz's swears – foreign as they are – catch Faraday's attention, and despite all his complaints about Vasquez's fussing earlier, a concern flashes in Faraday's eyes. He hisses as he sits up a little, green eyes darting to where Vasquez's hand runs over the old wound on his arm.
His own concern is enough to override the instinctive annoyance at Vasquez's verbal jab. Rather than battle back with an insult of his own, he instead asks, "You doin' alright?"
