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.]

[tennohno]

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.

[pain_train]

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.]

[tennohno]

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.

[pain_train]

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

[tennohno]

[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.

[pain_train]

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.]

[tennohno]

[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.]
