[ Maine doesn't tease Wash about it. It's an adjustment. One that Maine's had to make over and over, figuring out how to interact with people who knew years he'd never lived. He's patient, again.
And when Wash says that name, Maine doesn't let his disappointment show. Didn't allow himself to hope enough for that.
His eyes flick to the side as he thinks back. Unintentionally, he winds up staring down another fighter just out of earshot. The man only holds Maine's gaze for a few seconds before seemingly deciding he has urgent business elsewhere.
When Maine looks back to Wash, he shakes his head. Wash is right: Maine doesn't know the guy. ]
