Yes. Are you not getting enough sleep...?

[ Growing boys need their eight hours, ok. AT LEAST! ]

[armoured]

It's not that, it's--

[He pauses, reluctant to open that wound again when it's still so fresh. But it's not exactly a secret with his post about it yesterday, so...]

--my brother died yesterday.

[phaseshifter]

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry - I'm sorry. That I was such an a-- a. Such a jerk. You don't have to talk about it, I - I'm so sorry.

[armoured]

No, it wasn't your fault, you didn't know.

[He didn't mean to make her feel guilty.]

You... you actually made me feel a bit better.

[phaseshifter]

I did?

Are you saying you want me to be a big old jerk at you more often?

[ TEASING IS FUN. ]

[armoured]

Yeah, I guess I am.

[He manages a bit more lightness in his voice, and it's very nearly genuine.]

I have to go, we're about to move-- but... but thanks.

[phaseshifter]

Like I said, you're welcome. Let me know if you need to talk.
