[Sort of on the same foot is better than not being remotely so. It'd be more awkward if only one of them was being flabbergasted and such by the other's home, so the even ground is something to be appreciated.
Wash gives some sort of head movement that's probably too slight to be called a nod in response to that look Adam gives him, looking for clarification. Except he can only confirm aliens, and he's officially a little spooked to hear that, you know, monsters are real. Even without knowing what ones are.
He's silent as Adam speaks, and if he was startled before with the Heaven and Hell thing, it's nothing compared to the actual story, or rather summary of. It sounds to him like the poor guy's been through hell (figuratively and literally), and really... He's got no idea of what to say. How do you even respond to something like that?]
...Wow. [Oh yeah, real smooth.] I-- Sorry, that sounds... I mean, if I heard it anywhere other than here, it'd sound crazy. [Nope, not much better.] Uhm. I don't mean--just--...It sounds awful.
[That's putting it lightly, but after scrambling to find the right words after coming out with all the wrong ones, it's all he's got. Scrubbing a hand through his hair awkwardly, Wash just...shuts himself up for a few seconds. To actually think.]
Sorry. I've just never heard anything quite like that. I didn't even know angels existed until someone mentioned that there are some here.
