	Don't apologize, I gave you the opportunity and I was damn well prepared for you to take it. My dear friend, we'll be here for you whenever you feel the need to come back to us. We will miss your spirit on the ships, but don't worry or fret. Enjoy yourself, luv. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Man... you're gonna make me cry talkin' like that.

I know I didn't start out resembling pirate material. I know what you EXPECTED... but Bill... that don't make me feel any less of a dick for living up to those expectations.

Hell, maybe it's me not getting the difference between living DOWN to low expectations and just living to realistic expectations. I dunno. But man... I'm sorry I let you guys down. I'm sorry I ain't made of sterner stuff. I'm sorry I got this weird thing with my head that makes me just break sometimes and I'm sorry I decided long ago that I'd rather be what I was born to be than live a lifetime doped up for any reason other than fun.

You and Jack saved me once in a big way.

I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to live through paying that back all the way. I'm sorry I wasn't worth it after all.

You're talking crazy, mate.

Apologizing for something you are is craziness, and I'll have none of it. I appreciated your help while you were aboard. I adore your company and your lovely music, and I'll be glad to see you again once we're back in London. You owe us nothing, and you've never owed us anything.

You saved me as well, mate, don't ever forget that. Miniver, if it weren't for you, I'd have been utterly lost, and I would never have known what to do with myself. You helped me through a lot, and my helping you was only payback for that. You've taken something onto your shoulders that isn't your weight to bear again. And the only reason I can so easily see that is because that's one of my own faults as well.

Miniver, you make me a proud man for just knowing you. Don't ever, ever apologize for not fulfilling the whole journey. That's not the point of it, anyway. It was an experience for you, was it not? That's all this was for any of us. An experience. And for those of us still on the journey, we'll not have lost heart in you for any reason. We all have the same knowledge you now have, and we won't ever fault you for leaving. Many of us would have on our first time, if we were able to, too.

	You're a rare kinda man, Bill, and that's all I can find words for without breaking. Thank you. Um... d'you and Jack need someone to check on your house every so often? Might as well try to be useful... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you wish to do that, I've no issue with that. But luv, you owe us none of your time and effort. I appreciate it greatly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well then this, I ain't doing because I figure I owe you. It's because I like you. And also I like being... there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
