[ It's a little strange to watch someone else checking their hands for damage, but it's not unsettling. Maine's been the one checking his own hands too many times. Adrenaline's a hell of a thing, and sometimes the pain doesn't set in until later. He gets it. (He thinks.)
Maine nods, watching as Ephemera stands and stretches. Watching his balance, specifically. Prepared to step forward if it looks like Ephemera might topple over. It's not a conscious choice; it's just something that's been ingrained into Maine. Something that Project Freelancer's competitive nature has yet to beat out of him. He watches his allies' backs; he steps in if they need support.
For all that his time as an ODST didn't end well, Ephemera's still got the tattoo. Hasn't had it removed or covered up. As far as Maine's concerned, that makes him an ally. Someone to help; someone to protect.
He snorts when Ephemera says there's no tequila. Clicks his tongue against his teeth and shakes his head. ]
Backwater.
[ Seriously. What kind of place doesn't have tequila? ]
