...okay, that's stupid, as they're on a planet-sized spaceship in another dimension with superpowers. A lot of things are different.
But Locus is still standing there, barely looking at him, allowing Wash - who'd been his enemy for so long - to have his back. He's making no move to fight, or defend himself, or...well, move. The situation is different, sure, but somehow it's Locus who seems like he's changed.
But why?
It strikes Wash, suddenly, that he hasn't seen Locus since he and Carolina dropped the Tartarus on top of Locus and Felix. He'd known they'd survived, but he hadn't seen the last fight - just that Epsilon had gotten his message out, which he'd taken as a victory and assumed that Felix and Locus were both dead. He doesn't know what happened - just the outcome. This change could have happened on Chorus instead of Legion World and he'd be none the wiser.
He's missing information here. It changes things - throws him off - and he doesn't like it.
"What's the last thing you remember before you got here?" The question's out almost before he can think about it. He's not expecting a direct answer, or any answer at all, but it's worth asking, if only to establish a baseline.
