Look, so is mine. [Chorus. Not his planet, but it felt like his now. He had bled enough into its soil, lost enough men, lost friends, lost Church for this stupid place. And after Charon was gone, well, the seasons weren’t bad and it might not be a bad place to raise a son…
But it was his now, as much as it was Kimball’s or Bitters or Jensen or, ugh, even Palomo. It was home, and he wasn’t sure if the guys agreed, but he would defend it always, mostly so those teenagers didn’t have to.]
But we’re fighting so it doesn’t have to happen again after this. So people don’t have to die. You know that none of those places just give up their home willingly; shit, if someone came into my house and just took it over, I wouldn’t go without a fight. Why would the Cetagandans need to come over with that many resources unless they came for war?
[He sighed, shaking his head.] I love my kid more than anything, more than I love myself. I want my son to have the safest and best life he can, you know? And…that means keeping him away from any more bullshit war that doesn’t need to happen, even if it’s just one goddamn battle.
