[That sounds like what the Lotus had offered him. How it had been for his own. So he nods and slowly turns the mug on the counter.]

I suppose.

I would prefer if the rest of the crew didn't know about this for now. The Stalker is an obvious threat and the information regarding him can be shared with no qualms but what I told otherwise... Can that be between us? [He trusts her enough with that.]

...I want to say that we're different. Memories tend to make a person and if we forgot those and focus on others, wouldn't that create another version of us? I hated the Orokin and what they did to me and the others but I wouldn't want to doom an entire empire. You don't seem like someone who'd want to kill civilians.

Maybe it's best that we don't dwell over this. But yes we're soldiers. If anything, we'll protect this crew and those we care for.

The rest of the crew doesn't need to know. It's your story, not mine. Only... I think you should tell the captain. Or I can, if you don't feel comfortable doing it. He's not going to tell anyone else, but he should be aware of the full situation. [And he'll probably have smart things to say about it.]

Soldiers serve. So yeah. I... can't even figure out why I would do something like that. Just like you wouldn't want to commit genocide. So I guess we are different people now.

[Protecting people. That's a solid goal. That's what she always comes back to. Soldiers serve, and they're good at it.]

I'll think about it. Is that ok? As you probably know, it's not something that should be openly shared too much. It dredges up too much.

[It was already too much having enlightened Wrath to it all but it felt right in the end. Both of them had been through something similar.]

Different people. [Said again as if to reaffirm the idea.] Better people if I can say so. And...thank you. For listening.

I understand. And I won't say anything if you don't want me to.

I'm here for you if you need me, Tenno. No bullshit. [It's important to have someone who understands, at least a little.]

That would be for the best.

And ugh... [Kind of hard to say the next thing because it's a work in progress.] Thank you for being a friend. I don't know who else I could've gone to or well get through my thick skull.

[She gives him a bright, warm smile.] You're welcome. And... I'm glad to help.

[A weak smile is offered but the exhaustion is now hitting him hard.]

I should probably go get that sleep I need. Maybe steal me away for more of this drink sometime afterwards. Have a good rest of your day.

Go sleep, I'll talk to the Captain. And any time, just come find me and I'll make you more of this.

[She reaches across the table to grip his hand briefly.]

[Oh. Well that is certainly something. He glances down at the hand in his before giving it a soft squeeze.]

I'll keep in mind. Night.

[Then he slips his hand from hers and heads off in order to try and recover from his own mistake.]
