Garret was likewise without any hate towards Sykers. Hell, if everyone else could be an overpowered freak of nature just because they found a fancy weapon, what different was someone who was naturally talented? He frowned, scratching at the back of his head as Alan laid ever-growing piles of depressing commentary onto everyone. "Ah, geez, kid. Look, just 'cause you're not like anyone else doesn't mean all this stuff was your fault. Like, really, why send so many people after one kid?" He paused, and placed his hand onto his face, pinching the bridge of his nose.<span style="font-style: italic">"Nice fuckin' going, Garret. Tell the kid who's saying he ain't worth all this trouble that he wasn't worth sending a bunch of people to die, either."</span>He thought silently, but followed up with an actual vocal addition to hopefully clarify what he meant. "I mean, you shouldn't blame yourself, is all...Ah, hell. For whatever it might mean, good luck finding your brother."<br/><br/>Intending to put the crazy day behind him, Garret reached into his coat and pulled out the stack of cash that he'd previously tried to take off with. Not wanting to risk his luck again, he split it in half and returned his own share to his inner pocket, while tapping the other one on Alex's shoulder. "Oi, here. Before you accuse me of being a bloody thief again." He let go, assuming the courier would take the hint and catch the money, then turned and started to walk off. At first, it looked like he was making some good distance, as he managed to put about thirty feet between him and the others before he suddenly stopped in place. He looked down, then up, and with a visible huff, placed both hands on his hips and mumbled something to himself. After that, he turned back around and came back, letting his arms return to a more neutral position.<br/><br/>"Screw it, I ain't got anything better to do. May as well lend a hand too. Name's Garret Murdock." He offered a greeting in the form of one of those little upward nods, and looked over the rest of the group. He wasn't sure this was the best idea, but just abandoning the kid to his problems would make him feel bad.
