[ 'calling dibs,' yes, exactly - he's learning quickly now. she's so proud of Chuck...? look at him, taking in new lingo... they grow up so fast, a single tear rolls down her cheek,

...but, hey!! wow, her knife - that's real thoughtful of him and Jinx is taking the bloodied blade back, shifting her hold on the Flamethrower to prop it against her side,

and meanwhile, Ex-Flamethrower Guy is like ???, uttering a muffled curse as the blade is yanked out of his arm and he slumps against the wall. to add insult to injury, Matsui Chuck then decides to... touch?? the wound?? he looks wary and a little like he's about to snap the swords...man's head off, but before he can open his mouth--

Chuck is just peacing

out,

apparently,

and he's woozily shaking his head, trying to staunch the bleeding himself. the FUCK is going on here?????

Jinx - who has replaced the blade at her hip - slings the Flamethrower over her shoulder and pats Chuck on the shoulder appreciatively. ]

You know what? If I had to take a stab in the dark, [ haha get it bc she just stabbed a guy, ] I'd say we're gonna make a pretty good team, don't you think? Huh?

[ she elbows him in the side conspiratorially,

and some people are beginning to jog toward Ex-Flamethrower Guy and he might be pointing at them,

hm,

trouble, ]
