[Nux doesn't feel offended by the observation. You're a mess. When Furiosa says it, it's less of an insult than a simple statement. He is. Some shred of him recognizes that. Old spraypaint staining his teeth and lips, memories of the times he failed. War paint in uneven flecks all over his body. Hunched into himself like someone soft. Someone weak.]

Yeah.

[He's Nux, because he's a 'tough nut to crack', so they said. Hungrily he presses into her pull, taking any and all affection he gets, small as it might be.]

Call me roadkill now if they found me. [A grim humor surrounds his words, quiet and thoughtful.]

At least. [She tells him wryly, but something in her has thawed, and she's absently petting his shoulder with her right hand now, the light friction warming his skin.] But that's nothing to compare with what they'd call me.

[A war boy gone rogue would be tortured and killed, no question. For a traitorous Imperator, ideally, it ought to be done publicly. By the other Imperators, and carried out viciously as possible in order to allow them to prove their own loyalty.]

They've lost our track for now, though. And I can promise you, if they find us again, they won't take us alive. [Cold comfort, maybe, but there are worse ways to go than a bullet to a the head or a windpipe crushed by a metal claw. She can't swear to protect any of them, but she can make sure they don't get dragged back through the sand to torment and disgrace.]

If you're truly with us, we're with you.
