Pickles doesn't say shit the entire time Pratt's gone, eyes fixed on the bloody flooring in front of him. Man, he'd almost had Pratt out for the count, and he doesn't even feel good about it! If this were his crew, he'd be getting a pat on the fuckin' back for almost offing some psycho hillbilly; instead, he's stuck feeling fucking guilty for defending himself.

This shit sucks.

Even when Pratt returns, Pickles is mostly silent, up to the point where Ava nudges him to mention Ren -- mmm, Rischie. Fucking of course. How the fuck did he not notice that?

"No shit it's a person." He side-eyes her for a second, then drops his glare back to the floor. "Dumb bitch got what she deserved."
