[ Of course you're on that list, Tucker. He'd do a lot for you. It's just that being his friend doesn't really mean he doesn't keep secrets from you. Sorry about that. It's for your own good? He'd hoped you would hold out longer than that, but given the threat of mission reports and that this is him you're talking to, that you held out at all gets you some points.

Wash can see how Tucker struggles with it for a few moments before he gives in, and his eyes are hard as he watches him, as he takes in that information -- and he sighs, the tension in his own shoulders easing. ]


You're going to have to do better than that if anyone else asks you. [ Note how completely unsurprised he clearly is at the news of Miles having a seizure. Sorry, Tucker. ] Thanks for getting him out of there, though.

How long did it last? [ Because of course he's going to be more concerned with those details than he is about telling you the circumstances of the secret, sorry, Tucker, but there are things and protocols one adheres to when dealing with someone who's seizing okay. He's had that training. ] What did you do?
