So much for teamwork. They must be a sight. He doesn't comment on his offer being brushed off, with obvious little to no consideration. He was glad it was. He was also insulted.
But Hawkeye takes a moment to gather his thoughts, to push through the muddled stream they were, push through the images of carnage and the emotions they conjured. It means his lips are parted and no sound's coming out for the better, heavier half of a second. And speaking of heavier, suddenly the air seemed more tense to him but that was all in his mind and he knew. He was aware, and that was the problem. Hawkeye wasn't oblivious to the mess he'd become, and that meant he was itching to claw his way out. It means he says, "We need an Aid Station," without any hesitance after the initial bout, without lifting his volume any one bit, without a trace of a joke to be found on his features.
He could strangle himself with the wave of despair. They had to do something. Ellie had said so.
Hawkeye continued, steady. A torrent. "You know, it's fine if you- the Cornucopia was a bust. There's never going to be organization there. That's how it works. I get that. There's still people coming out of there hurt who don't have any business getting hurt. There's still... weeks of this, Holiday. The whole point of it is to have us all turn to our most basic instincts. That means some people go around trying to kill each other. That means I can't just stay and let that-- there is a number of us. Doctors. We just don't have the supplies. Let's ask for them. We might get them."
