I guess that answers any questions about whether or not I wanted to be an extra in Master and Commander. [Although, really.] That said, it definitely could have been worse. I mean, can you imagine if we ever got stuck somewhere like that, permanently? I'd take running water and modern medicine over pirates any day, I don't care how cool Jack Sparrow makes it look.

[Private to Alex]

Bummer about not finding any treasure.

[Private to Racetrack]

Hey. [... now what to say :|] I know this is weird, but. You do get kind of used to breaches.

[And Public, after he's realized SOMEONE hasn't seen Star Wars]

Alright, so, who here hasn't seen Star Wars? Kinda sounds like we need to have some kind of group movie night when people are taking a break from being all obsessive about port.

[Private to Bond]

I'm making Alex watch Star Wars. You should come. I promise I won't make you watch any of the prequels.

I'm not saying that's all it was. We never got along. But that's why I hit him. That and the fact that when I went to find him he pretended like it wasn't him.

It wasn't the right thing to do, but that's what happened.

Hey, look, I'm not judging you. That's kind of bullshit, and the fact that he doesn't think he did anything wrong by doing it is kind of gross.

I mean, don't do it again, but I get it.

Sure thing, Mom.

[His tone's pretty affectionate, though.]

I'm not going to do it again. He gets beat up enough by people these days, I don't want any of that on my hands. Kid just needs to shape up and get out of here. I know he can, he just doesn't want to.

Why? I mean, if I didn't have deals to make, I'd never even have taken the offer.

I would've.

[He pauses, realizing that sounds judgmental. Breezes right on.]

He's hanging onto something. Not sure what, exactly, he doesn't confide in me or anything, but he tried to attack me when Toshiko took over, thought I was somebody else.

Great. Remind me to give him a wide perimeter next time this place is totally falling apart.

[He's largely kidding, he'd rather he handle him than someone who doesn't know what they're doing.]

He's got a big mouth. But I think if he really wanted to hurt me, he'd have done it by now.

Probably.

I'm sorry he was such a creep.

Hey, it's cool.

[It's not, but.]

You weren't.

Yeah, well. [Awkward possum.] It sucks that that kind of stuff can just be out there for everyone to know about.

[He really means like of course he'd be cool about it, because he gets what it's like to have stuff like that sitting on your conscience, but. Expressing himself is difficult, okay. B(]
