The thing is, though, it's 'loyalty' to a person who you're not sure is a person, who you've looked down upon for years, and who you just ran to out of necessity.
Mmmm, well he can hold a gun, and he's used it to fight for the same thing I am.. Roughly. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I'm a people person, and in that kind of situation where I'd be on my own for a fair bit, I'm sure I would've done a lot to keep the closest thing/person I've got to a companion.
Sometimes they don't have to deserve it...
Exactly, if they fight for the same thing as you, and they're willing to help you, that's all I need. I mean, 10 years is better than losing everything.
