"People can vanish in an instant," Wash said, voice heavier.
Ellipsa was his fifth time on this rodeo. He knows how quickly people can be gone. "End up back home. Usually. There is proof of that, our tether here is unstable or something of the like. Lucky for you, I appear to be fairly stable in these places. Make it to the end of the conflict, but it is still a risk." Which he knows has some implications, but it is true. Maybe when you almost caused the end of the universe, it doesn't want to drag you back so much.
And as nice as shooting things would be, Wash has been through these places enough to know how to work with their rules. Sometimes it's dumb. But what matters is it works.
"And shit happens. You might need to rescue Carolina and I one day and do you want to be doing it solo? Or would you rather know how to work well with people who can watch your back?"
