[So in the last week, Tan has Admitted Things to Herz, gone shooting (okay, he's not amazing, but he can hit his targets okay), and screwed around with the ship's doctor (no, not the robot. Egad.). All in all, birds aside, things are going okay for him at the moment, so he's just going to sit in Sergei's (since he's allowed in here again and all

He nods his head a couple of times, not quite willing enough to pull himself free of Herz's lose grip on his shoulder. The second Herz lets go, though, Ben will be gone.]

[He gives him a light pat, then turns to go back over to Tan.
God, this is such a mess ._.]

For the record? I didn't start it.

I-I--I-I got that--that impression, yeah...

Here. Tastes wrong, but tastes like alcohol at least.

...a smoke, though. One that tastes like a smoke? He'd like that.
...
Not sure what he's supposed to say here.]

Ah, y'know though. He should probably tell Herz what's going on, if only so he doesn't get it second hand. Because for all that Tan really doesn't think this is that big a deal, hearing from another source would suck.]
I fucked crew.
[Straight to the point.]
S'what he's pissed about.
[Shrug.]

's...
's no b--biggie.
[He's fucked crew.
...when he had no one else, but still.
He's no reason to be hurt by this, so he's not.
Really.]

See. Didn't figure it would be. I mean, hell, it's not like it's the first time or anything.
[Which is why he wasn't going to bother saying anything in the first place, but whatever. Done now.]
Anyway, didn't want you getting the wrong idea from Ben or something.

Completely ignore the way his chest seizes up over this. Because obviously, it's not a big deal. Tan thinks its cool, and Herz has already said it is that, also, so.
It is.
It's cool, rather. That may have become a little muddled, so to reiterate, there has been no cheating, and both parties are perfectly okay with one another. And the not-cheating.
...but no, seriously, Tan. How is it that you're this ridiculously cool about this. The faith he has in Herz's capability of Not Freaking Out is seriously nothing short of amazing.]
R--
R-rr--
Right, he--
[Yes, let's focus on Ben. Third party, nothing to do with Herz's feelings, no way to slip up and say something Fucking Stupid and Stupidly Telling.]
He--h-he--he...
He...means...well, I...
God, you--y-you guys fight a lot.
Reply
No--no, Herz can we not talk about Ben, actually? Please? Bad move!]
Like fuck he means well. I haven't picked any fights with him, I'd be happy if I never saw him again. Not my goddamn fault he can't fuck off.
[Grr hiss catfight etc.]
Reply
[You haven't picked fights? Uhm. Sure.
Herz sighs--god, he really doesn't want more fighting.]
Jus'...
I'm. I--I'm--I'm gonna go--guh--g-gunna go...talk to hhh-him so.
[If you would like to leave a message...]
Reply
...Yeah. Go coddle the delicate princess.
[Cranky much? His dislike of Ben has come back full force after this incident and probably won't go away again.
Yeah, he's a little irritated that Herz is going to go see Ben instead of sticking around.]

Just.
Leave it alone, Herz.
Leave it alone, Herz, seriously.
Just.
Leave--]
H--h-he--he's not--he's not like you.
[GDIT HERZ.]

Yeah, no shit, if he needs somebody to pat him on the back and tell him everything's okay every time he's an asshole to somebody else! Oh, right, he's sensitive. I guess that's why people let him get away with bullshit.
[Said it.
...Don't really care all that much, actually.]
Let him stew, he deserves it.

Abort. Abort mission. Commence shutdown.
You do realize, Tan, he's...heard similar arguments used concerning him in the past? Oh, wait, no. You probably don't.]
