1. if you could be anywhere in any world right now where would you be and what would you be doing?

2. if you had the choice to go home right now would you take it?

1. please tell me you obtained that information in a safe way

2. why did you bring it up if you weren't going to tell me

[Hours from now it'll gently sink in and she'll scream internally a lot, this is fine.]

1. well i'm not dead so it was safe enough

[Probably not the safest way to gather information, but hey, he's an astronaut, he's learned to be cautious about these things!]

2. hey u asked and i answered

i wouldn't tho

i miss home and my friends a lot but i can do a lot more good out here

1. glad to know your idea of safe is 'not dead'

2. plus you've got your boy toy which i imagine factors into it

1. i think its a perfectly reasonable standard

2. well yeah thats part of it

but i'm planning around that 2 just in case

so main reason i'm staying is i've got a lot i can do here to help and there's plenty i can sutdy and learn about

can't do that so much @ home

1. of course you do. you're not really helping your case here

2. dude you keep vaguely alluding to something that happened at home why can't you just tell me what it is

1. i also didn't get hurt does that count

2. hey i didn't this time

Earth

MY Earth doesnt have the technology necessary to travel through space, we can only go so far as the moon and mars

thats incredible in itself but compared to this place which can go to different planets and moons and space stations within a few weeks its not so much

so i can get a lot more done here than i could back on earth

1. why didn't you lead with that wtf

2. this is painful to read please just tell me

1. because usually the not dying thing is more important :P

2. i mean if u think about it for a while its probably pretty easy to guess

1. i mean it was pretty obvious you aren't dead you're texting me right now

2. why do i have to guess why can't you just

oh shit

ohhhhh i'm an asshole holy shit i'm sorry

[Aaand there it is. He knew she'd figure it out sooner or later, and he's glad this is over text; this would be a thousand times more uncomfortable if it was otherwise.]

yeah

surprise

i don't like talking about it much soooo

[There's a gap before the next response. She wants to ask, but...]

we can talk about something else if it makes you uncomfortable
