Hanging in there. You?

[strove]

Planning a talk with Murphy.

I haven't let him in on it yet.

[jettisons]

If you don't surprise him with it you'll never see him again.

[strove]

Exactly.

Better to corner him while I can.

Don't worry. I won't be too hard on him.

[Even if he deserves it.]

[jettisons]

I already was, for what it's worth.

[strove]

It probably hits harder coming from you, so it means something.

I'm still sorry, Bellamy.

[jettisons]

I know. I get why you didn't tell me.

[strove]

I wanted things to be good, but it's not fair to expect that without you knowing the truth.

No secrets from this point forward. That isn't how I'm living my life with the people I care about. It means that when you're ready, I have some more to fill you in about.

[jettisons]

Give me about a week to recover.

[It's mostly a joke.]

[strove]

I understand.

Are you staying there for a week?

[jettisons]

No. I'll be back soon. Someone has to keep Murphy from sniping at you.

[strove]

Sounds like a bit of a tall ask.

[jettisons]

Rumor has it I "shacked up" with Echo in space, so I guess I've dealt with taller.

[strove]

Do you want me to confirm that one?

[jettisons]

I'm guessing Murphy wasn't lying.

[strove]

No.

Echo's a good person to have in your life.

[jettisons]

I'll take your word for it.

[strove]

Good.

[jettisons]

How'd you and Murphy do last night?

[strove]

I kept busy.

[Read: I wasn't in the mood, so I didn't deal with him yet.]

[jettisons]

Good strategy.

[strove]

Running a business has its perks.

[jettisons]

Built in excuse, you mean? Now I'll realize exactly what you're doing if you pull that on me.

[strove]

If I'm avoiding you for work, you'll probably know before I even get to that point.

[jettisons]

Good to know.
How was Octavia while she was here?
