[ Pretty freaked out, indeed. At least Maine already suspected that Wash might be from the future. He just didn't think it would be seven years.
But he doesn't ask what's happened. Not to Wash; not to anyone else. His best friend has seen seven more years of the war. Why would Maine press for details?
(It doesn't cross Maine's mind that the war might be over.)
So when he responds, it's not with a question. It's an observation: ]
Old.
[ ... A rude observation, but hey. Could be worse. ]
