Wash was caught off-guard by the hug, but returned it one-armed, unsummoning his weapon and ignoring it's complaints.
"Now girl, you know I don't blame you for that," he admonished gently. "Wasn't nothin' you could do, what's done is done."
He took a step back, patting her on the shoulder in a fatherly sort of fashion. "Did you get taller?" he teased. "I'm surprised you're lollygaggin' around here, it ain't exactly safe. Surely you got some homework or somethin' t'better occupy your time," he added, trying to stay lighthearted.
The horsemen and the dungeons - they were in the past. He tried not to dwell on them, although he still woke in a cold sweat some nights.

Graduations, prom - it had really only been five or six years for the hunter, but it might as well have been decades. A distant, rose-tinted dream. Wash sighed, his smile turning a little sad.
"Wow, already? Congratulations. Do y'all go to, like, college or somethin', or do you just go straight to... work?" He wasn't sure how to word it.
At her mention of Roch, he frowned. "I'm sorry to hear that. He looked like, well, like a punk-a**, but he cared about you. He was a good kid." As for the rest, well... the less said the better. He still wasn't totally happy with the decisions made by his superiors, perhaps in spite of all that had happened to him since.
His smiled widened a little, crinkling at the edges. "Yeah, Sash's fine. I'm sure she'd appreciate your concern."

"Boogeyman?" He laughed a little then. "Boogeyman's what we call them scary stories t'keep kids behavin like they should." Working with children - it was probably something the kind-hearted ghoul would be good at, in a kind of weird and twisted way.
"Thanks, I think," he replied awkwardly at her explanation for Roch. "He's right though - you shouldn't trust us." Wash shook his head.
Nice. She could be many things, and kind was one of them - sometimes, the hard kindess that offered a single, clean killing blow. The kind of kindess that cut ties instead of letting something fester. An efficient niceness, one he admired and valued.
Honesty.
"Happy as we can be. We both knew where we was goin' when we signed up, more or less, an' it ain't always fun and games." He shifted awkwardly before changing the subject. "What about you? Are you happy, bein' back home?"

"Really!" Amphi blinked and shook her head, "Boogeyman are like the law enforcement and stuff! Or um whats a good word..." She tried to think hard, "They are protectors of halloween, kind of like hunters are protectors of Humans? But less....Gung ho???" She frowned, "I don't want to attack humans, so I might join the coast guard. I'd be perfect cause...." She leaned really close, "Because I am a mermaid."
She frowned, tucking her hands in her pockets. "I think he was wrong and right. It's fine to trust some of you. I trust you after all. you helped me escape, and you aren't attacking me now. I think we've become friends."
She walked around now, touching some of the hallway, and the paper. She wondered what it meant for hunters when they said signed up. Did it mean leaving their homes? Their loves ones?
How terrible.
"I am happy as I can be." She looked up now, "I am sad that Roch and I are not together, and that my sister died. There's a lot of responsibility falling to my shoulders and I don't know if I am ready to handle them." She sighed. "I'm scared that because of all that happens, I'll mess up again."
