[ dutch's grin has far fewer teeth, or none as sharp as his, but that doesn't mean there isn't a similar quality to it. ]
Fancy that. [ after a beat, she adds: ] Maybe I'm just not into the whole galaxy saving bit. [ never mind that she's starting a war to save hers, too. but her motivation isn't entirely heroic. ]
[He scoffs and goes back to prying apart the panel he's working on.] I don't think anyone's into it, and if they are- they're a buncha lying jerks. It just kinda happens to people, so either you walk away and risk gettin' caught up in the blast radius or you go all in, and hope you get rewarded for it.
Some people genuinely give a shit about saving the galaxy. Saving people.
[ dutch knows people like that. johnny, mostly, but d'avin, too. she isn't like them; she can choose to give a shit, but she can just as well not. johnny's heart is so damn big, he always gives a shit. ]
I'm sure the galaxy hasn't done anything wrong by them either. I mean, I live in it, so there's that, but beyond that, there ain't much to really talk about.
[ that maybe the ones like johnny who give a shit do it because they have the luxury of it, because they haven't experienced the full cruelty of life. she knows better now. johnny's been through plenty of shit and he still gives a damn, and people like delle seyah kendry have lived a life of privilege and couldn't care less. ]
[He looks like he's about to leave that lying there- shrug it off, call it a difference of opinion, whatever. But something about the way she says it sticks in his craw, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he sighs.]
Yeah, some people are just maniacs who can get put through hell and come out the other end fine, I guess. Dunno how they do it.

[ dutch isn't, but that's mostly because she doesn't quite believe him. that, and because she doesn't know his galaxy and hence doesn't really care.
the good shooting and the engineering would probably impress dutch more. ]

[people just aren't as impressed with him as they should be and it's very sad.]

[ her grin is pleased now. at least he's smart. ]

[He smirks, albeit a bit toothily. Animal jaws were not made for harmless smirking.]
