"She may be my ship, but these are your quarters. It's your say." The door opens but he makes no move to actually enter.
She'd seen him doubled over retching violently after cryosleep. He likes to think he has her beat on the 'not the prettiest sight' front. But her words are sharp reminder of why he should have just walked away. And he's here in just a tshirt and sweats...
"I can come back another time." He feels heartsick seeing her like this. Knowing what his stupid gesture had done. "I'm sorry I bothered you."
What did he really think was going to happen anyway? They aren't kids, they've been separated by a lifetime of war and hell and their own demons. But for a moment he thought... maybe... He gives her a sad smile and a nod before he turns to leave.
