Lawmen who really mean it- who take their jobs seriously, and don't just throw them around like a police baton- they're a good thing, and I know he's one of them. He's a little like William, though, in that I feel really bad whenever something comes up about home or the Wasteland and it catches him flat-footed. I feel like I shouldn't be talking about these things to him when they're so much more brutal or nasty than his everyday work, because I know he's doing the best he can at a really hard job and he doesn't need stuff like that to come along and make it sound like I'm trying to diminish that. I'm probably overthinking it, but that's how it feels about two seconds after I've said something and he's started blinking, or whistled in shock- anyway, he seems like a good person with a good temperament and I hope his work doesn't get ahead of him too much.
