I do.

But you think it's necessary to protect your friend, and I get that.

Brother.

[ Not a correction so much as a reframing. 'Friend' is not strong enough, not nearly. Will pauses for a bit, thinking it over. ]

He'll have Laura here. And he'll be back in the cabin as soon as possible. Give me a couple of hours? And I can have Malcolm watch for dangerous behavior. He's not injured.

I'm saying you should stay as long as you think you need to, Graham. A few months ago, it was me who didn't want to abdicate responsibility for the sake of people who wanted to lock me in a box and keep me safe, right?

Ahh...which crazy event are we talking about now? The cursed sword thing?

I was talking about death river, but... that one too, actually.

Oh...right.

[ He lets out a sigh that's more emotionally exhausted than anything else. ]

Then I'll stay. I'll let you know when I'm leaving. Probably won't be long.

If anyone who was bitten so much as twitches in your direction, tell me and I'll be there.

[She has two things to say, both important in different ways. She'll start with immediate safety.]

All still good?

Still good. I'll probably head back to my place- well, Malcolm's place- in a few minutes. Iris is sleeping now and Hark's heading out.

How do you feel about how this went down?

[ Will lets out a sigh. ]

Annoyed. Frustrated. Partially because Eric's actions make sense. I talked to Godric. Eric had been in bad shape when he got here. As a vampire, there's one way to fix that.

Not that it excuses his actions, especially the way he drained Hark like a particularly tasty juice box. But every inmate shows up here volatile.

[Shaw lets out a quiet grunt of acknowledgement.]

I feel you, brother. Same with Espinosa, same with Annie, same with every other inmate who wouldn't have sparked off a massacre if they'd known what was going on. This is on the Admiral's shoulders.

But I'm proud of you. All of this, how you handled it - you did good.

Same as me, if the Admiral hadn't offered the whole setup to me. [ He mutters it quietly after Shaw lists off people. ]

Oh- [ He pauses, genuinely surprised at the compliment. ] Thanks. I don't know if that was me 'handling it' so much as me trying to help and being completely outmatched. But I did what I could.

Trying to help counts as handling. And it sounds like you did help, unmatched or not.

-- Same as me too, by the way. A couple months ago-- a couple months before the Barge, I mean - I shot a woman Decima presented me with in the head because I thought it wasn't real and didn't matter. If I'd woken up here without an explanation, I would've assumed simulation from the jump.

[ He lets out a huff of a breath. And then a tired laugh. ]

I know we're talking about how much progress I've made, but I'd really like to kill anyone involved with those simulations.

Planning to. Hopefully soon.

Do you wanna follow up with the new guy, or are you good?

Good.

I'm good, I think. I might talk to him eventually, but after everything's settled down. I doubt either of us need a mediator.

If you do, tell me how it goes, yeah? And if you decide not to, I wanna hear your thought process there, too.

All right. I'll check in with you about it later, then.

Roger, roger.
