[ she knows data. he won't compromise such a chance to find out more about this prison by hanging onto overwhelming emotions he doesn't yet understand. ]
He and I will have a chance to work all of that out later.
[ she's the best one to be there for him and be there she will. just trust her on this one, kitty. ]
