Fucker. Don't let him in on the secret ALREADY... He's FAMILY now, just not realizing it yet. Bonus that he's local, and corruptable, through time...
He reloads. MAN, did I score on this deal, too - when I walked up, he was asking if I reloaded, and received a resounding "HELLYEAHIDO!". I was immediately presented with BAGS of brass that he has, and doesn't reload. I got some .308, 6.5 Creed, and more... it was nuts. How could I refuse that?! Short answer is... don't. Towards the end of the adventure (it really was an adventure), he's saying, "What else can I pawn off on you before you leave?..." I was dyin', man...
He's not fully aware yet, but he's a damn great addition to the group, here. He's gonna end up at some shoots, and it's only downhill from there...
Welcome, Merle, to what you didn't even realize... yet... You'll thank me later...
