IM PUTTING THE TIMON GIF IN HERE LATER YOU CANT BEAT ME

[She looks alarmed from the moment he mentions someone breaking into his apartment and drugging him, and that doesn't really fade until the story is done. Slowly, as she tries to gather her thoughts about all of that:]

...So, you've been through a lot together. I mean, understatement of the year, like - wow.

[There's a half-grin.] Even Carlos doesn't know all of that. We never told him everything, but he knows some of the details.

[But yeah, it's a lot.] ...because of her, I can tap into the Morphogenetic Field and we were able to save her. If we hadn't, the Akane I know now wouldn't really exist. But...I dunno. There are some things I'm still not sure I can forgive her for for a long time, if ever.

...I love her though. So maybe that says something about me, too. [He looks at the water again.] And then there's this place.

[...he gently kicks water toward Beck.] Sorry to kind of dump all of that on you. I didn't know how else to explain it.

For leaving, you mean, or... The choices she made when the two of you were together with Carlos?

[She kicks water back at him, even though she frowns slightly.]

No, it's okay. It's - better to know.

[Even if she isn't sure how to feel about all of it.]

[A shrug. It's a couple of things but yeah, maybe he has some abandonment issues. Instead of saying it, he's busy putting all of that away and glancing at her from the corner of his eye.]

...I'm telling you this because not everyone is into the idea of sleeping with someone who has someone else. But she's not here, and it's not like I regret what happened with you and me anyway. We're friends, aren't we?

[Hopefully?]

...I mean, when the alternative is getting killed by a demon, I think the situation is a little bit different.

[But, more importantly:]

We are.

...thanks. [He seems okay with that and whatever else he was thinking disappears for now.] I'll figure out how to make stuff up to you later. I think I owe you more than a few favors.
