Everyone always wanted to know how. Details. He got it, he did; things made sense with details, allowed for things to start taking action, but fuck was he sick of telling the tale. Reliving it. All this shit.
But while he could get away with it from most people, he couldn't here. There would be no leeway, no wiggleroom, no comfort. And hey, at least Piotr wasn't shoving him face-first into the mud like certain unnamed teammates of his.
"We were at Riverfall, right?" The fingers at his right hand curled into a tighter fist. Shit. "Cetagandan patrol popped in, and we tried to sneak out, but it didn't work that way. The saw us, there was a fight, bunch of people died--" he knew the number, memorized it, but he didn't want to say it. "-and they made off with her."
Vague. The whole thing was vague and if he wanted details, Tucker could give them in a better fashion, he was pretty sure, but for right now, this was all he could do.
