It was my phaser.

[trickor]

It could just as easily have been my knives and that would have been much more difficult to explain away.

[captainkink]

Fuck, I just--I don't know what I did wrong.

[trickor]

Nothing. You did nothing wrong, Captain, but to perhaps insist too strongly of our innocence. But we are innocent, and there is nothing else we could have done. If you'd not spoken the way you did, it is possible they'd have thought us less guilty, but it is also just as likely they'd have thought us guilty for it.

You did well, Captain. I apologize for not having been of more help.

[captainkink]

I screwed you over.

[trickor]

You didn't.

[captainkink]

Loki...

[trickor]

You didn't. You did the best you could, Captain, and there's nothing else I could have asked of you. But for our pride, we are the neither of us hurt.

[captainkink]

... Yeah.

[trickor]

So do stop blaming yourself for that which is not your fault.

[captainkink]

Okay, yeah.

[trickor]

...Are you all right?

[captainkink]

Yeah, I'm fine. I don't like losing.

[trickor]

Neither of us do.

[captainkink]

True.

[trickor]

There is no consequence, though, not this time. We will find a way to win, should we again find ourselves in this situation.

[captainkink]

... Okay.

[trickor]

Better?

[captainkink]

Much. Thanks.

[trickor]

Good.

[captainkink]

You're the best.

[trickor]

Naturally so.

[captainkink]

Uh huh. Naturally.

[trickor]

Do I get some form of compensation for being the best?

[captainkink]

Of course.
