Re: [Bar: Jack & Patrick]
[Jack was, for what it was worth, saying Newt's intimacy went hand in hand, friendship and desire, but he thought the point might be lost under present circumstances. He thought of Adrian and there was no desire whatsoever to speak to that particular component of the puzzle, any more than Jack had an inclination to speak to Destiny. But Patrick paused, and Jack was listening rather better than he ordinarily did, given the number of bear-traps open and available to him.]
No, Patrick, you don't understand, I should think. I'm not saying this is bad for him. I'm saying it's messy, because it isn't simple. He can't simply feel what he feels, there are other people involved and I imagine rather a lot of self-reflection. Messy. Which isn't to say it'll work itself out.
