You...worry. So very much. Why?

[captainkink]

Who else is going to worry? Besides, I signed up for it.

[trickor]

So long as you remember you need not stay out of obligation.

[captainkink]

I wouldn't.

[trickor]

Don't.

[captainkink]

I won't.

[ strokes his neck lightly ]

[trickor]

Good.

[captainkink]

[ he doesn't say anything to that. ]

[trickor]

[they can both just sit there in silence, then. at least it's a pretty comfortable silence]

[captainkink]

We've hit a point of no return.

[trickor]

Captain?

[captainkink]

Nothing. Just talking aloud.

[trickor]

Come now. Do share your thoughts.

[captainkink]

I was just being cynical. Nothing big.

[trickor]

Cynical how?

[captainkink]

How? I don't know. Just -- relationships, I guess.

[trickor]

Relationships.

[captainkink]

What? You know what I mean.

[trickor]

I may need a touch more elaboration.

[captainkink]

Just that neither of us have had one that lasted so long.

[trickor]

What are you expecting?

[captainkink]

I'm not sure. I never really knew what to expect.

[trickor]

Don't see an end before it comes, Captain, or it may appear sooner than you think.

[captainkink]

I didn't say I was seeing one.

[trickor]

[brushes a few fingers over Jim's cheek]

Good.
