"Uh-huh. Side effect of dating a Sadist, I guess." That- he doesn't know how to feel about that. Until he can flick through his head and find an answer, humor. Buy himself a little time. The hooks, okay, eye for an eye and all that shit. Beating him up, breaking his teeth? Okay.

skinning someone tips past cruel and unusual and goes somewhere far and weird and- he knows Sam's capable of violence. He's seen him kill. But keeping something efficient and clean in the field is very different from hunting down a civilian and cutting them up.

"...man I'm not gonna be able to eat bacon for a week." Still no answer, so. More humor!
