[ A laugh is something that Maine expected. Hoped for, even. But that laugh? That's about as bad as the exhausted one Wash let out after Maine suggested pinching.
Wash has been alone, Maine reminds himself. Wash has had at least three allies here, only to lose them. He's exhausted. He's stressed. He needs time to adjust.
Maine doesn't rush his friend. Lets Wash take the time he needs. Then he snorts a laugh at "big motherfucker." Reaches out to clap a big motherfuckin' hand on the other man's shoulder — "we've got this" — before they move out again. ]
