Your effort to actually make a report is both acknowledged and deeply appreciated, Captain Thorne.

[needs to be far away from this damned planet, along with a number of other things which are also not Greg's to give, Emperor or no. it's a lovely night for irony, isn't it?
honestly a hug would be really nice. but inviting Miles's foster-brother roommate liege-lord down to a hotel room at midnight for full-body physical contact seems like the wrong signal to be sending right now.looks long and hard at the addendum. had he made it back to the ship yet, with whatever report he saw fit to bring? the MID could answer that, but it'd be invasive to check on his movements. had Greg expected no report after last time?
indeed, an effort it was.]
Of course, sir. I do eventually learn my lessons.
[and now if you'll excuse them sir their face has an appointment with the nearest pillow, where maybe, if they look hard enough, they'll find an option to not think about all this.]

Bel. You may not be liege-sworn to me, but you're my friend. Do let me know if there's anything I can do, and I will. Otherwise, have a good night. I'll see you soon.

faint sigh, looking down at the MID.
he won't just lay blame, he's not like that though the moment's quivering desire still races under Bel's skin, but he can't help having some conflict of interest. be careful, he'd said, and it had still gone badly, been a setback, the last thing any of them wanted out of this.]
You're a good man, Greg. We're lucky to have you. [will try to remember it better.] Too bad I can't ask you to bring me water again tomorrow.... [maybe a lunch date to talk things over, though obviously even less of a date than this was supposed to have been? can ask later, after... whatever happens.]
It's actually a fairly pleasant place -- I'll tell you all about it later. If there's anything you need, no matter the time, I'm right here. [whether to yell or congratulate them -- starting to appreciate the value of keeping the channels open.]
