"I saved your goddamn life," he mutters, moving to untangle the blanket from beneath Vasquez. "And I had hoped to save Goodnight and Billy too," he adds, finding knowing he hadn't hurts more than he thought it would.

"And if I could give you your life, then good," he says, the words still soft, trying to get Vasquez to lay back so he could cover him up. "I'm going to check on what's his name, see if he's gone running out the door naked or something," he says, reaching up to brush curls from Vasquez's brow.

"Go to sleep, okay?"

Vasquez leans into the touch, eyes wide and almost pleading with how much they want that touch to continue. He got his life, but what did it matter when he was alone and an outlaw? He doesn't want that life. He wants this one, where they can have something together, but he doesn't know how to say it.

"Sleep," he agrees, eyes already falling shut. "Don't go too far."

"I'll be right back," he vows, not moving away right away, just watching him to make sure he's settled. Then, once he is, he heads off to check on Bobo before coming back and sitting close to watch him.
