[Brave of you to assume he won't be pleased just to have his messages read.]

Dude, let me do this all subtle and not be all 'what are your intentions with my brother', okay? It would be awkward for all of us. So just give me something like 'torture victims stick together' and let me pout in a corner about being left out or some shit?

[sinistral]

There is no intention outside of making sure he is physically safe and giving him the time to recover the mental exhaustion. To put any further expectation is unfair to either of us, and I will not do it.

[doubled_speed]

I'm sighing over here man. It's not the expectation, it's the general question. And yeah, he's fucked up from it. From a few things. He'll do better with someone who can prioritize that in him.

[Which is as close to saying 'i'm too fucked up to do that right now' as he's going to get]

[sinistral]

There is still no intention. I am aware that he has feelings. He is aware that I am incapable of the same. But I can be his friend and I WILL keep him safe.

[doubled_speed]

Well, that's more honesty from you than I've been getting form him. Thanks.

And I know you will.

[sinistral]

It is a matter private to the two of us. I did not share it with you lightly.

[doubled_speed]

I know that. But he's my brother and you're not the only one that tries to protect him.

[sinistral]

I know.

[It's because you're Billy's brother that he said anything at all.]

[doubled_speed]

Good. I just needed that to be clear alright? Saying it matters. Implication isn't enough.

[sinistral]

Especially in this place.

[doubled_speed]

Back home he'd have better people than us to support him.

[sinistral]

So would you.

[doubled_speed]

[Dude, that's quite the assumption. But there was David and that was a nice thing to have in his life.]

Yeah, but we're not rolling in that stuff here, are we?

Would you? Have that support back home?

[sinistral]

No.

[doubled_speed]

Shit man, that's just messed up. I'm sorry.

[sinistral]

Don't apologize. My situation is unique.

[doubled_speed]

Guess I'm just used to knowing people have the other you's back, back home.

[sinistral]

I made the decision when the Fleet broke up, to not go back "home". The question is moot.

[doubled_speed]

Well then, come home with us, when it's time to go.

[sinistral]

I would consider it.

[doubled_speed]

Cool. I think you'd like our world, even though it's messed up at times.
