Has Machete ever had to comfort or calm down Vasco?

I think Vasco might have a bit of a habit of suppressing and underplaying his negative emotions, he doesn't like showing sadness or anger. He is genuinely optimistic and carefree and usually handles stress and difficult situations calmly, it takes a lot to truly get under his skin. But even he has his bad days and weak moments and of course Machete tries to be there for him. His attempts to comfort him are clumsy and inexperienced but I'd like to think that over time he gets better at it, largely by mirroring and replicating Vasco's own behavior.

#seeing Vasco down in the dumps is harrowing and often Machete's first instinct is to find a way to blame himself for it #Vasco reacts to setbacks with anger more often than with sadness #if he gets upset enough he will enter “I will fix this” state of mind and is able to channel that frustration productively #Machete is more of a type that gets aimlessly frantic and then paralyzed when things go awry #I wouldn't call Vasco's approach full on toxic positivity #but it is along the lines of “I won't admit this pisses me off/worries/distresses me I'll have to keep cool and hope for the best"#answered #Vasco
