gosh, me? adding subtle details? nooooo id never....

widget, when did you find shay? what's your relationship like? you seem so sweet and nice to have around, i wish i had a cool uncle ghost like u (╥﹏╥)

“Ehhh.. more like he found me. Like some stray dog or somethin, funny story, that one.”

“I can’t remember how long I’ve been out in the desert, a dead n’ dried out sea littered with ancient shipwrecks and lost things. The place is a gold mine for those brave enough to travel through the damn thing. I was not one of those people. I got dropped off after being unable to pay a huge debt, you know, left for dead. I woulda been too if that hellion child Raizol hadn’t stumbled across my body.”

“I thought I was dead. The pain from starvation is indescribable, wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Even other deadbeat good-for-nothings like me. I was too weak to move, but too stubborn to let “sleep” take me. I laid in the dunes watching the moons’ phases change. And then somethin fuckin BIT me.”

“Somethin was rummaging around my shit- I was being goddamn LOOTED, can you believe that? This little shit was treating me like he stumbled up on a damn candy shop. I was too tired to yell though, and at some point I passed out.”

“When I came to, I was in a dark and damp place. The only light in that spot was from a busted headlight. Later I would learn we were in a foxhole.”

“Raizol dragged my body underground and... nursed me back to health. Took me sweeps to ask why he did that, but all he’d say is ‘I was better use alive than dead’.”

“Decided I’d stick around. Like hell if i knew how to get out in the first place. But it was... freeing there, more than anything I’d have known. No one came looking for me. As far as my past contacts knew, I was dead. I liked it that way, just me and the little shit that kept me like a kid keeps a mutt he found under the freeway.”

“He did more looking out for me than I did for him, honestly. Shit, I was old. I couldn’t offer much anyway.”

“But now I get to help. He scratched my back, now I get to scratch his. Just an old friend dropping in from time to time.”

==> You dig into Shay’s wallet and laugh. Looks like the kid’s still got this old thing in there after all
