I've seen him piss off plenty of people because he can't keep his mouth shut, sometimes." He reaches out to take Kaylee's hand in his and give it a reassuring pat. "I only get along with him because I can be a hard-ass Lt. Colonel when I need to be, and I carry a bug gun." He pats his P-90 affectionately with his free hand.
