"Damn, man, that's rough." Carter shook his head and knocked back another drink. A story like that made him reconsider being so close to Ryne, but he didn't feel like there was any turning back now. Despite their little spat just now, he still had a strong emotional investment in the boy.
Then Han-jae reminded him of his kill story. "Oh yeah!" he barked, all grins again. "I was gonna tell you about that. So we're out there in the heat of this battle that's been going on nonstop for eight days, right? I'm strapped into the canon on the back of a tank the size of an elephant and I'm gettin' shots off left and right. My aim's on fire. Those suckers never knew what hit 'em! Then, three of these ugly bastards come barreling down the side of this steep bank, yeah? Screechin' and hissin' and claws out ready to tear the tank to scrap shavings. You shoulda seen it. I fired right between the eyes of the first one, the blast goes clear through its skull and into the face of the one behind it, and when they fall, the third one takes the hit right in the chest! It was a thing of beauty!"
