"God, you're really selling this for me." Deacon scoffs, "That stick up your backside is like a meter for how much fun something is gonna be for me."
It isn't that he actually thinks being stuck in this place is offering him a fun side-quest; if anything the thoughts and feelings his mind might project are much darker in tone. Fear, regret, melancholy that he masks with a smile. But there are still people here that need help. And there is a certain comradarie that comes with being stuck in a shit situation together. Deacon knows this better than anyone.
Sharing common enemies does a lot toward building the peace. It's why Deacon finds it so easy to work with others despite their disagreements. As long as a person isn't actively committing truly evil acts, there's no point in holding grudges. Deacon has worked with The Railroad for some time now with colleagues that find him truly obnoxious and unsettling. And in that time has even seen a side of Danse that earns the man extra sympathy- which he has to remind himself he isn't thinking about right now. At least with the other man right beside him.
He seems pleased enough with Danse's approval and makes his way back to his stupidly-shaped vehicle, lacing the chain around the frame and hooking it to itself so that it's secure. When Danse returns with the truck, he hitches it similarly to the back of it and waves the other man on, ready to spot the vehicle and try to wedge it up so that it isn't dragging across the road.
