[ He answers that question by plopping down, his back against a tree and facing away from the facility. ]

Like I said, we let them do all the hard work. The guys should be landing with the Milano along with the rest of the troops, so we can take it easy till then.

[ He answers pretty quickly. ]

'Cause I'm not.

[ That gets him to pause, but only for a brief second. ]

Well, we were getting chased by brainwashing sociopaths, so I think I deserve some leeway, there.

It's fine. I'm fine.

[ A beat, then, ]

And maybe I was freaked out by, like, the laundry, for all you know.

[ His tone is sharper than he means it to be. ] Maya, it's fine. Can we please just drop it?

[ -- shit. He lets out a breath, and runs a hand over his face. ]

Sorry. Didn't mean to be an asshole, there.

[ He's quiet for a little while (and yeah, that asshole comment stung, but he deserved it, he knows that much), but eventually he nods. ]

I trust you. Of course trust you. I just--

[ And here he struggles for words. ] It's not a big deal, okay? It's-- just some stupid thing. But I can handle it.

[ For a few seconds he just stares at the ground, but then, ]

It's just some stupid shit that happened when I was a kid. Got stuck in a vent shaft when I had to help with maintenance. The engineering crew thought it'd be funny if they left me to stew for a while. They were just screwin' with me, but I freaked out so bad I fucked up my shoulder. That's all--

[ And now he feels ridiculous having said it aloud, and he picks up a rock and chucks it hard at a nearby tree. ]

See? Stupid as fuck.

[ He stiffens at first at her touch, because for a little while there, it felt too much like pity-- but he eventually leans into her. ]

What a bunch of friggin' assholes.

[ He huffs a laugh at that. ] See? That's why you're the brains in this relationship.

[ It takes him a while, but he--nods, reaching up to take hold of her hand. ]

You're so smart. Where've you been all my life? [ Aside from the eight years where she hadn't been born yet, of course. ]

[ He nods when she moves away. ]

Yeah, don't worry. [ He puts a hand on her knee. ] I wasn't just kidding when I said I was fine.
