He worried. It was in his nature, and he couldn’t help it, and one more time again since becoming commander of the Pegasus, he wondered if he ought not put his foot down and put a stop to this, but even if he tried, it wouldn’t work, and he wouldn’t really mean it.
She stood there, and he told her that he hoped that she found him, and she told him that she hoped that she found him too, and neither of them were lying, but neither of them were completely telling the truth either. Because if he was dead, things would disappear, things would clear up, and they would mourn, but they would go on, and he might finally get a chance to have her and have a spark of happiness in this dreariness that was this life.
But this was her chance at happiness too. And that was what mattered to him more than anything else, that this was her chance at happiness. He didn’t want to see her take such a risk for it, but if it had been him, he might have done the same, although deep inside, he knew that he hadn’t. He wondered though, if he might now. Now that he knows.
Her happiness is what is most important to him, and if he has to watch her find her happiness elsewhere, then he’ll watch her find it elsewhere. He’s found happiness of a sort of his own that he’s clinging to with desperateness he’s seen in her own eyes.
So he hopes that she finds him, because he wants her to be happy. And that will be enough for him.
