Wyatt was used to newcomers not believing him and he'd faced a wide range of reactions, from Katurian's - the first Katurian, that was - nearly violent outburst, to Ellie's biting curses. But that, Hawkeye physically turning away to address someone else, as if he was expecting them to call Wyatt a liar and him differently... that was a new one.
Part of him was offended, but more of him understood. Recognized that desire to hold onto the possibility of a better answer (a way out, a chance).
He didn't take it personally.
Glancing at Max, watching the question wrinkle the Roman's brow in confusion, he tried to help - even if the Captain didn't want it.
"They call the man in charge President, if that's what ya mean. President Snow..." he said, hoping the context was related (unlike so many of the other things the man had said). He paused, glancing at Max again. "But I've been here as long as anybody an' I ain't nothin' about any elections."
