[He actually laughs at that, though it's not funny.]
What, Clover? Thank the Maker someone finally said it to her. Apparently if one isn't driven to axe wielding madness, one cannot possibly have had a feeling worth remembering. I have grown very weary of those who can see shades of grey when their own lives and the lives of their loved ones are at stake, but are convinced of the righteousness of their fury whenever they should suffer a loss. But of course, I shall say so to you and you alone. I must be suitably contrite in public and not burden anyone by daring to suggest I too have lost someone I cared for deeply.
[That's all. A lot more bitter than he wants to sound, but god. Clover and Machias tried to kill him moments after Bull's execution for a man they hardly knew. He's grown tired of trying to be charitable about it.
A little more measured, with a small, sheepish smile:]
As you can see, you're not the only one angry and tired. Nor, I suspect, am I the only one to have people I care for. Your friend, I'm sorry they're making you worry for her. If it's any consolation I don't believe any harm will come to the other ship.
