Is it? [ He doesn't get it, biblical. The phrase isn't something he's had back home. But he shrugs it off.
His own expression remains on the sand, never diverting from it, even as it sears his ever-open eye. That's a loaded question. A hard one. They were not really brothers, beyond in arms, but there was a certain... familiarity that came from working together like that. Enough so that the phrase had been shared more than once. 'You two could be brothers for how well you know one another' etc, etc. He doesn't reflect on it. Tries not to.
Recently, someone told him he marinated in it like an old steak. They were probably right. ]
