They keep talking. It’s soothing, in a way Ghost didn’t expect. Johnny chatters sort of incessantly, in a way that, coming from anyone else, would usually make Ghost want to blow their brains out. Or his own. But now, the quiet conversation reminds him that Johnny is still breathing, that he’s still moving. Even if the conversation is mostly one-sided. Except for the fact that it… isn’t. Ghost finds himself responding. Every time Johnny tells him that he’s found more rope, found a bottle, found oil, anything and everything he can get his hands on to throw together some makeshift weapon, Ghost murmurs a reward. “Good, Johnny,” he says quietly, and he can hear the grin on the sergeant’s face without even seeing him. It’s… something. He isn’t quite sure what, yet. Isn’t quite sure if he should be trying to work out why Johnny seems so desperate for Ghost’s approval when he’s bleeding through the streets of Las Almas in the middle of the night, anyway. Besides, even if it’s nothing (he is sure that it isn’t nothing, at this point) who is he to deny the whims of a man on death’s doorstep? It’s no hardship. Not even slightly.
