#he was getting tortured and didnt even blink but when owen showed up he literally folded

[hatchetverse]

I like to think curt is actually pretty competent in the field. He can charm the pants off any mark, he’s genuinely a good grifter. He can hold his own in a fight. I mean look at him.

Unless Owen is there. Then he slips into follow mode- whether consciously or not. It’s the same thing when you’re out with someone you feel comfortable with, a safe adult when you’re young or an older mom friend and you just go along because they’re a planner and you know they’ll take care of you.

and when he lost Owen he couldn’t break out of it.
