Feeling better?

[trickor]

Me? What made you think I'd be otherwise?

[captainkink]

I didn't mean to rattle you.

[trickor]

In the future, should something again happen that troubles you so, don't take it all upon your shoulders.

[captainkink]

I'll remember that.

[trickor]

Why would you think otherwise at all?

[captainkink]

I'm not used to it.

[trickor]

I see.

[captainkink]

It's nothing against you, I just...

[trickor]

You are not accustomed to sharing your burdens with others.

[captainkink]

The perils of being a Captain. And I'm generally ... on my own a lot. I know I'm not, not anymore but it's an old habit.

[trickor]

I've no intention to leave you be if there is something I could do for you. And I am most emphatically not one of your subordinates.

[captainkink]

I know, Loki. I really appreciate it. I do.

[trickor]

I am not reminding you for your appreciation.

[captainkink]

... Sorry.

[trickor]

What for.

[s-sighs]

Captain, I speak of it for your benefit, if you will accept it.

[captainkink]

I am! I think. I'm trying.

[trickor]

Keep trying.

[captainkink]

I'm not a quitter.

[trickor]

...Yes. I know.

[captainkink]

...

[trickor]

I do know.

[captainkink]

I ... I trust you.

[trickor]

Is this a new realization, Captain?

[captainkink]

No. Just making it clear.
