[That's good of her, he'd rather deal with this first, than his own personal troubles. Or...you know, even better- to never deal with them ever. ]

Obviously, you don't have to say yes, or even answer right away- and you need to heal up first but- [He rubs the back of his neck. ] I need a First Mate. I kept thinking I could do it all myself, but wow, I so can not. [And it felt wrong...filling Allen's position so quickly - but it's time. ]

I wondered if you'd be interested?

[He manages a smile, it's small and tired, but it's there. A tension that's in him fades away, his shoulders relaxing visibly. ]

Thanks. There's no one I'd trust more with the job. And I know Allen would have felt the same way.

Or I could just be greedy and have two of you. I mean, if ships can have two captains, they can absolutely have two first mates.

[Plus it would be two of them to try and dispel the general chaos that comes from working with Sokka. At her comment his smile drops. Balls.]

Beeeeeeecause I chose not to answer it.

[That works, right? ]

Maybe? Who even knows if Atroma stick to those rules or not.

[He winces at The Look. There's no escape from that. His shoulders sag as he exhales slowly. ]

Because it's not a good answer. I'm doing lousy.

From: [personal profile] alwayscomeback
[He shrugs, gaze dropping downwards. ]

I don't know. I wish I could have done something more. Maybe I missed out on something, or...I don't know, seen them still out there. Got them back to the Fleet before it hit.

[He folds his arms, frown deepening. ]

I should have known Looma would have done something crazy like that.

[His tendency to believe he has to protect everyone he cares about is absolutely rearing its ugly head. ]

I should have known she'd do it. Just...try to stop her, all of them. Or get another ship to them or- something. Anything. And now they're just gone.

[Good plan, Riona. Beat this with logic until he finally gets it.]

I know what she's like. I know her. I should have known it'd happen.

alwayscomeback: (But oh let it go)
From: [personal profile] alwayscomeback
She'd do something like this. It's what he people do. So I should have anticipated it, yeah.

[He's pretty damn determined to put the blame on himself for this one. ]

alwayscomeback: (It's empty in the valley of your heart)
From: [personal profile] alwayscomeback
[DAMNIT DON'T YOU THROW LOGIC AT HIM. ]

I don't- okay, no. But I just- I don't know. [His shoulders sag. ] I just feel so helpless. Like I could have done more.

[He hates it. It makes his chest feel tight and just brings awful, swirling memories back of Yue. How he had to stand back and let her do what she did to save all of them. How his own mother did what she did to save Katara. It's not fair. ]

I know. It just... it just sucks a lot.

alwayscomeback: (So walk away from your pride)
From: [personal profile] alwayscomeback
[He'll return the hug, nice and gentle- no need to break her any more than she has been recently. ]

I really hate it. I know I can't save everyone, I get that I just- ...I just hate it.

alwayscomeback: (I never said another word)
From: [personal profile] alwayscomeback
I know. I do.

[He manages a weak smile in her direction. ]

Thank, Riona.
