[[Debates how to answer. Still debating. Getting the distinct feeling that maybe Sanzo - and Hakkai and Goku - were all part of his pings for 'waiting to hear news of living or dead']]
Actually it doesn't. You're the one who told me about 'going West,' and guessed why the heck I'd be tagging along with you.
[He looks thoughtful for a brief moment.]
Other than that I did tell you the other thing I saw, but maybe you just forgot. It wasn't a memory - it was from when I came back after the fire.
[He rubs the nape of his neck as he starts to remember everything from that dream - he'd tried so hard to forget the most intense parts that he'd forgotten most of the dream entirely.]
I saw me... 'supervising' you, when you were injured. And I used my weapon's chain to catch you when you fell over a cliff. Then you shot something out of my chest. Probably... saved my life [He mumbles that part] from death-by-tree-roots.
[He remembers Gojyo's words, 'Go ahead and do what you like to do. It's your problem, right? I don't have any obligation to stop you.' But he knows his own voice, and knows that tone - he'd been doing Sanzo a favor, somehow.]
[[slowly because wow awkward]]
I'll treat for drinks at the bar.

[Takes another swig.]
And I don't think you know me well enough to say shit like that, jerk.
[He takes a final drink and throws the can on the ground to crunch it.]
Call it this nagging need to know a certain dumbass is alive.
[He kneels down to get the crunched can.]
And I figured the dumbass needed a drink after today. Doesn't make us friends.

[He glances over at Smoke with a raised eyebrow. 'He was worried? Why the hell would he be worried?'
Something tugged at the back of his mind. Maybe this was connected to a memory after all.]

[And waits a beat.]
Well... Looks like I'm out of booze. Guess that means I'm not interesting to you anymore.
[He definitely looks like he'll leave if you don't stop him, Moon.]

Let me guess. I'm supposed to ask if this has something to do with one of your memories.
