I'm not sure if any of us mentioned it, to be honest. Probably all figured it'd be standard procedure. In and out and back. [ gazing at the pods with his singular eyeball. ] ...and I get it. It's hard to mention when you think it'll just worry people.
I think people have been worrying about me this entire time probably more than most. [ and he knows it's because of his age. ] I don't know if I want to give them more reasons to when that was...bad for everybody. Including Io.
Uh, admittedly, no. I wasn't exactly paying attention to everything going on when we got back because it's always so busy. [ people are freaking out and hustling and it's a lot of activity. ] But thank you. For making sure he was taken care of, too. He really helped us out back there.

Even the fussiest adults around here will get patched up. Even I get patched up. Nobody's left bleeding. And it probably makes them all feel better if they can worry about the kid who works hard and cares hard. You might have to grin and bear it for a while.
...I know you're right. But it's still hard knowing they might be more worried about it because because of it. Yeah, everyone's getting the same treatment but...it's hard to know what people are really thinking. [ a pause. ] Maybe that part doesn't really matter right now.
[ it'll just be something he thinks about himself. ]

Wow. I'm right? And it's true, because you said it. Let's enjoy that for a moment.

Don't push your luck. [ this is a joke. ] You do have your moments where you make complete sense.
