“Ravagers come in all sorts. While we all know how to shoot a gun… we do t all do it.”

“Yeah, see, I don’t even know how to shoot a gun,” Carlos
joked. Of course he did – he used to work for one of the most advanced weapons
companies on Earth… before Hammer went crazy.

“Well I’ll have to teach you then won’t I. More time together to get to know each other.”

Carlos chuckled. “Sounds romantic,” he teased. But he smiled
and nodded. “I think I’d like that,” he said. “Seriously – it could be fun.

Smiles back and looks up at a bout of coughing from another table as halfnut coughs then presses closer to Tullk side.

Carlos looked up over at them. Huh… he must be getting sick.
Carlos hoped Halfnut would be smart enough to drink his fluids and get some
rest. He was still afraid of getting a space-disease that he hadn’t been
vaccinated for.

He turns back to Yondu. “I’m done eating. Wanna get Peter
and Ob… Kraglin their lunch and snacks?”

“Yeah. Let’s do that.” Looks at Tullk meeting the other man’s eyes asking silently if halfnut was ok or not.

Half coughs again as cook brings over some hot soup.

Carlos smiled slightly. He glanced at the other couple
before standing up and gathering up his dishes. It looked like he was being taken care of … that was good.

Half sips at the soup pressing against and under tullks arm for as much warmth as he could get.

Yondu hums looking at them. “What happened…. skin looks frosty…. got some freeze scabs starting..”

Tullk looked up at Yondu. “An observation corridor on the
east side of the ship,” he said, as if that would explain everything. He paused
for a moment to help Half-nut hold his spoon against his cold, chapped lips. “The
hull was damaged, and nobody noticed,” Tullk suddenly went on. “It breeched
while he was walking through. Protective doors over the windows shut before
Half-nut was sucked out, but it was open long enough for heat to be taken away
and for him to get cold.”

Carlos couldn’t help but stare in awe and fear. “Oh my god…”

Half sips the soup as Tullk helps feed him his body felt so cold and his bones ached.

Yondu frowns. “That was the side we got hit hardest… damnit.. I told maintenace to repair it…. half… ask the doc to give heat blankets to him for a while. Captains orders… and get him to bed… he’s burning up…”

Tullk nodded. “Yes, Captain,” he said. He rubbed Half-nut’s
shoulder as he ate. “There you go, lad… eat up, Jamie. Let me take care o’ you…”

This really weighed heavy on Carlos’ heart out of sympathy.
Poor Half-nut… He hoped that the Ravager would get better soon.

Carlos sighed and nodded, smiling. “Yeah… I’d really
appreciate that, Hancock. Thank you very much.”

It was… kind of nice and touching that Hancock would be
looking out for him and offer him jobs to keep him out of the wasteland. Carlos
was really grateful for that. He hoped he’d be able to get the opportunity to
express that.

“It’s nothin’, really. You deserve it, you shouldn’t have to feel like you gotta go out and risk your life just to survive, y’know?”

While Hancock would probably say he’d do just this for anyone, that wasn’t entirely true. Since Carlos had started coming around, the ghoul had grown a soft spot for him, he appreciated him and his sweetness, it was a nice change from the grumpy cynicism he was used to and he wanted to keep him around.

Carlos just smiled at him. “Thank you so much,” he said
again. “This is definitely something to me,
and I’ll do my best – I promise.”

Carlos’ smile turned sheepish. “Well, I mean… I do see
movies. With my brother. And… I like westerns. But… yeah, my hobbies mostly
surround my work. I have my own workspace at home, so…” He shrugged slightly,
still smiling but not looking at Hancock.

“Hey, it’s alright. Heh, sorry if it sounded like I was judgin’ ya, I didn’t mean to make ya feel awkward or anythin’.” He glanced over, offering an apologetic smile. “I’m just surprised by that, y’know? But if it’s work that makes ya happy, that’s great, I’m happy for ya.”

Carlos smiled a bit awkwardly and shrugged. “Yeah… It’s no
wonder I haven’t even been on a date in such a long time,” he joked. “But yeah,
I do love my work.  It keeps me very
busy, and I don’t mind it.”

Carlos smiled at him. “Well, I work with technology and
trying to combine them with modern magic. It’s… about all I do, really. I enjoy
it, which… is what I’d always wanted in a career.”

“That’s it? You don’t have any hobbies? Don’t go to the movies or play games or anythin’, just work? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s great ya like your work, I’m just curious.”

Carlos’ smile turned sheepish. “Well, I mean… I do see

Carlos smiled at him. “Well, thank you. It’s up to you, of
course… I’m just saying I’m willing. Math and engineering is just about all I’m
really good for.”

“I’ll let ya know if I need any help with that. Til then, we’ll put ya to work on that engineering stuff ya like to do, yeah? I’ll keep you busy so you don’t gotta go out into those ruins so much.”

Carlos sighed and nodded, smiling. “Yeah… I’d really
appreciate that, Hancock. Thank you very much.”
