I just didn't know if the same rules applied given the fact that the upperworld has turned into a fucking wasteland,” Josef growled, narrowing his eyes at Rin. “You act like you need a fucking cigarette, a snack, and a nap but maybe not in that order.” Josef had finished his cigarette and was now fishing around his pack to give one to Rin.

Ashi bit back a grin. Over the course of the past couple of months, she'd grown to like the hunters' snark when they spoke, particularly to each other. Generally, they learned to leave her out of the equation whenever biting remarks were made if only because she was now being followed around by an all powerful being whose sole purpose was actually to protect and serve her.

At the mention of 'brother,' however, Josef raised his eyebrows, “Val is your brother? Shit, you could have mentioned that sooner. Again, though, I'd like to point out that we're in a wasteland. Brother or no, do you really think the same shit still applies?” For the last sentence, Josef actually brought his tone down to be almost conversational and he brought his eyes up to look at the fence that was looming in the distance.Well, whatever happens happens I guess...
