[ oh yeah, gregor wouldn't have seen that since he was busy being executed at the time. ]
Well, yeah? You're Greg. I told you in the brig, I didn't want you to have to fight or have to die. And I couldn't do anything to help. Again. So, yeah, my eyes got wet. Not that big a deal, I guess.
Far as what you wanted to know-- I, ah, thought someone else and I were in the same page when it came to what we were agreeing to, and found out later we weren't. So.
Knew it wouldn't be anything permanent, but I... offered anyway. Just to be with him for the time we're here. Guess neither of us was clear enough, because he figured that meant just as a friend who cares about him, not...
-I kinda figured 'just friends' don't exactly kiss, is the thing. But looking back, I don't think he ever initiated it either.
[ big ears are for listening so nodd does precisely that. it stings, a phantom transference of heartache.
he pulls back from the hug but grasps both of gregor's shoulders. ]
The men on this ship are insane and have terrible taste. You're handsome, you can fight, and you have a job where your coworkers adore you. Being rejected now means you can have your pick of better loves later.
Crazy if he didn't want to bone down with you, Greg. I'm serious. Unless it was Shu or Arthur or one of those... men-for-ladies types I hear about, should've gone for it. Could have gotten to know a cool guy.
Didn't want to-- it's not about, ah, wanting to sleep with me or not, that's... I don't think we really need to factor that part in, is all, little bit irrelevant here-

[he's been through the same thing, more than one week here.]
no subject
Now I'm feeling self-conscious. Should I not have?
no subject
I guess once you get used to dying, you... stop thinking so much about how seeing that might affect anyone.
no subject
I've seen a lot of people die, but I hadn't seen you die before.
[ so. ]
no subject
Well, it's... it's fine. We're all here now, yeah? Not going anywhere.

No more dying in front of me. Go die somewhere I can't see.
no subject
Well, you know I can't make any promises, bud.
no subject
Yeah. I won't hold you to anything too crazy. Let's try staying out of the gutter for the next week, all right? If we can?
no subject
[but, anyway.]

no subject
Oof. I--you know. Not unrelatable?
[ perhaps something that nodd has gone through himself. ]
Or, I've also been on a page in a book it turns out the other person had never even read. It's painful. You heal.
[ you drink so, so, so, so much. you fuck strangers. you heal. ]

[not just for the rejection (though he's probably right for that too), but just-
he's too much of a good guy for that.]

Sorry, right.

Maybe he didn't want something meant to be temporary...?
