   Summary

   Carcadia Burn was aptly named; the searing sun beamed down against his skin, scorching the barren wasteland ahead of him. The new Vault Hunters were spry young things, kicking ass and taking names just like he’d done all those years ago. Him and Amara wouldn’t have succeeded if it wasn’t for their help.

   He still has his job as Moxxi’s bouncer; the two had taken off in the direction of Carcadia Burn after his blow-up with the Sanctuary team. He’d taken a small break from Moxxi’s after The Timekeeper had been defeated, intending to check some things off of his checklist; mend bridges with Amara, wrap things up with Levaine, and…well, look for Fl4k.
