Hi, what can I help you with?

[vivecai]

Then simply look forward to the next supply drop. I'll mark them with your name.

[ and though he doesn't bring it up: ]

Are you doing alright?

[ she doesn't say it, but the meaning is obvious: without nicky hangs un-written there at the end of the sentence. ]

[malta]

I am not, but knowing he is safe with our sister is some comfort

You don't need to worry about me, dear. I chose to be here knowing I would be without him, the brief time we had together on the ship will tide me over until I see him again. The cost is worth it

[vivecai]

You're both strong. I'd say stronger than you give credit for, but I think this might be one of the few instances where you actually know it.

[ both of them, too. ]

I'm glad to hear that... but it's also my job to worry. We're teammates, now. Worrying is part of the deal.

[malta]

[ joe really only know how to accept concern from andy and nicky, so he feels very ill-equipped whenever anyone else worries over him. ]

I do appreciate it, I only think it might be better directed at the others

[vivecai]

Oh, trust me, I have enough worry in me to have some for all of you.

[malta]

[ ah, humans. sometimes joe wonders if humanity is more closely related to donkeys than anything else because they sure like to bear burdens. unnecessary in joe's opinion, but he knows it is a losing battle if daisy is anything to go by. ]

Spare some for yourself as well, at least. Don't use worrying about others to avoid worrying about yourself.

[vivecai]

What's there to worry about?

[ is it possible for text to seem wry? ]

I'm an android, now. I'm not the one going out on missions. There's little that I need to worry about, with myself.

[malta]

We both know it isn't only bodies that can hurt

[vivecai]

It's okay, Yusuf. I'm not alone.

[ because, as he well knows... when it is your heart that is hurting, the worst thing to be is to be alone. but she has degar, and she has the team; she'll be fine. he knows the strength there is in companionship, too. ]

[malta]

Alright

As long as you're not alone
