[the sudden fire in Gau's voice isn't entirely a surprise, although Badou (more survival minded than anything else) would have assumed it would be an argument to have later, when Gau wasn't stumbling through whatever a blizzard was like, when Badou wasn't up to his knees in swamp water]
[he's wondered every day what it would be like if Dave were here, what the plan would be then; he himself would probably want to stay, while Dave would be itching to get back. and he'd follow his brother's lead, like he always has, because home was where Dave was, even if he would've gotten more of his brother's time here, even if they were definitely safer here (with those hooded men who knew where they lived and what they had been doing)]
[Badou would have felt the way Raikou probably feels, if Raikou's reasons for staying are what he suspects, what Gau has told him in small, haphazard chunks -- that family mattered most, even more than freedom]
[but Dave never would have been alright with it; with being owned, with being property to dump onto islands, to force into happy little homes with parents and siblings. he would have thought freedom mattered more than family (mattered more than Badou, because -- because that's how it was then, even when they were free)]
[as far as Badou is concerned, Dave's is the final word on the subject; it was wrong to be here]
He's wrong. Ya shouldn't hafta choose. Your family or your freedom -- it should be both. It could be both.
[Badou didn't have either, and it hurts to watch, to hear about that kind of loyalty when his is stretched so painfully far away]
There's nothin' stoppin' him from takin' his family, an' you, an' tryin' to get the fuck outta here. It's selfish an' stupid an' fucked up to sit around an' do nothin'. He's makin' you a hypocrite.

Four. One for Giovanni, one for being an ass. ( and heine follows after, quietly. badou isn’t bitching at him--there’s no reason to open his mouth and be an ass to him without that. and after running all the way here and panicking--he’s exhausted himself all over again. )
Okay. ( not that he know what kung fu is, but he’ll watch it anyway. )
