Boy, is that a lot of grumbling for someone flat on their face in public. Wash lets him talk himself out, mentally going over his to-do list, until the so-called Overlord looks at him and asks an actual question. He doesn't get a real answer (because "Anchoring would've made me have a mental breakdown, so I didn't do it" isn't something he's about to share); instead, he gets a casual shrug. "Someone has to take care of everyone who anchored. Now are you gonna answer my question or do you just wanna bitch some more?"
