[Goddamnit woman, check that smile. Tommy hears himself think it in Joel's voice and shakes his head, smiling back at her despite himself. How could he not? He's got blood crawling down his neck, she's certainly some degree of concussed, she, Eddie Munson and he's walking with her to medical after a little brush with either death or disfigurement, Tommy's not sure he wants to parse which was closer.]
Just one brother. [He doesn't say it with a sigh, but. Tommy's basically ready at all times for what follows, because it always does. Your brother's so good lookin', Tommy. Even though most of the time Joel refuses, because he's still off-and-on again hung up on his ex-wife. Used to be that Tommy didn't mind when the girls came back after Joel turned them down but that phase of his life didn't last through the army. Now he's disappointed, sure, but he's got more self-worth now.] Year and a half older, as Irish as you can get despite. [He shrugs.] The tan.
