Kartahn felt the tense feeling in his shoulders lessen a bit. The fact that Hound could understand where he was coming from was a great consolation to him. However...

Then naturally, the one who had trouble working with a team would be...
He shook his head. He felt his headache's intensity lessen a bit.
"Look, bro. A team's only as strong as its weakest link, right? Someone who isn't good with people, doesn't work well in a team and doesn't make friends easily with others would be something of a detriment. Which means I'd be the weakest link. You may think it's a good thing for me to join you now, but when I do and you see that for yourself, all you'll be doing is regretting you ever decided to make introductions here tonight. You're better off without me. I ain't sayin' I'm better off without you, and I'm not sayin' I can take down all those Pro-Entropy motherfuckers by myself. I know I can't. You know too, apparently. I can stand on my own two feet, hold my ground and try to survive without pissing my pants, though. At least... for as long as that takes me. After that..."
Kartahn bit his lip. He didn't want to go on. He looked off to the side, averting his gaze from Hound's.
