Kinner's impressed. "Didn't know Palmer had much of a temper. Always seemed pretty laid-back to me. But if someone tried to kill me, I reckon I'd be pissed off. Pardon my language. Guess even Palmer can be pushed too far."
"I want to help out," he continues. "Reckon Palmer will be there, too, if he was as mad as you say he was. I'm ex-military. A decent hand with firearms. I'll be useful, is what I'm getting at. In more than one way."
He turns to Furiosa, thinking. He hadn't considered the possibility of death, since he can never return to his world. He'll never see his family or his expedition mates again. But Furiosa is a leader. She's the McReady of her world. McReady comes to mind when Kinner thinks of leadership more than the ineffectual-if-well-meaning Commander Garry.
Kinner nods in response to Furiosa's question. "You got my word on that. If you don't make it back, I'll go to your world and check up on your friends. Tell 'em what happened, too. That's a promise."
