[ Maybe you forget about dying, once you're dead.

That doesn't exactly help explain how York is talking to him right now, but the idea of telling York that he's dead isn't exactly appealing and especially not right now. Seeing him in person . . . God, he is glad to see him again but there's just so much that comes with it, so much weight, so much that twists around in his chest. York was just another victim of the shit they did at Freelancer. Another person that he could've maybe saved, if he'd done everything right, if he'd figured it out sooner. Another person that he could have avenged, and the Director is dead but that's not really justice for everything, is it, and there's so much more he could've done, so much he never managed to do, and so much he did that was wrong.

Focus. Breathe. He's still not going to sit down, sorry, York, and he just stares at him for a moment, in silence.

-- Carolina. He realizes that with a start. They'd all thought she was dead, and now -- does York know? How could he ever have known? Should he say something? He probably should, even if she isn't here. Wash keeps staring at him, and when he finally says something, it's just. ]


How're you holding up? [ Delta. He means about Delta. ]
