Yeah, well. I think maybe this was the last of her.
[ One last peaceful moment before she's gone forever - that seems about right. ]
We didn't get hit too bad by all the doubles, but... we've been better. [ He sighs, slumping a little further into the couch. He'd just wanted to see Laura, but if anyone gets how worked up Khaji's gotten, it's probably her. ] Someone from home showed up. Khaji's... not too thrilled.
[ He's angry, all the time. It's giving him a headache. He had dealt with this before, but that was when it hadn't been Khaji, just whatever bloodthirsty monster took his place when he got rebooted. This is different - it's rage, yes, but tempered with the righteousness of the one who fell victim to the Negotiator and his kind, anger that it's him who's here and not the people Khaji would rather see, the injustice of him of all people getting a second chance when so many of their allies have fallen.
If it wasn't such a problem, Jaime would be proud of him for the complexity of his emotions. Instead, he's just tired. ]
