You know, you’re not the first person to tell me that.

[Palamedes thinks he has made his point well enough. His anger still simmers, but most of it has turned to something more like fond frustration. Natsuno acted like an idiot, but he has miraculously returned to them, hopefully having learned a lesson.

If Pal hasn’t been able to convince him that what he did was wrong, hopefully some combination of Jade, Clarke, Rita, and Mikzuki can browbeat him into promising not to try something like that again.]

You should get in touch with everyone else. People have been worried.

[There's the guilt again. All the anger at Pal leaves him like air out of a deflated balloon.

The others are going to hit him so hard, and that will be the least painful thing.]

...yeah.

[Natsuno stands up. All he wants is to crawl into one of the lifeboats and hide for a week, but he needs to face the music. Which will be composed of screams.]

For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

[yeah, it's going to be really, really bad. Pal feels a little bit sorry for Natusno, honestly, but not so sorry to offer to help. Natsuno is right: he needs to face the music.]

I know. And I appreciate that. Be sure to tell the others as much--they deserve to hear it even more than I do.

[A pause]

Good luck.
