Bix felt his face get warm, warmer than his blossoming sunburn, and pulled back from the hug so he could hold Before by the shoulders. If he noticed the tears pricking at Before's eyes, he didn't dare mention it. "And your other lady." He didn't give his bro a chance to protest. "Whether they like us or not or just want to be friends or whatever... they are sweet girls and they need us badass dudes to take care of them. We don't want macho a-holes like Rep.. with his muscles and.. tattoos.. showing us up, right?"
He patted Before's shoulders, assuring him without words that the hugging and crying was totally manly and alright while in the middle of a life or death situation.
