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?

[strove]

Angry.

The two of us got thrown together in an alternate world we got dragged to. I guess I should tell you this, but the world made us think we were married.

[Because.

Yeah.]

And because nothing here comes easily, I still remember that. It's a weird feeling to have alongside, well. The rest of Octavia.

[jettisons]

[Wow. That's a rabbit hole he's not going to go down.]

She didn't get better?

[strove]

I brought her into my plan to help this world. We both were at fault for what happened to the Valley, so I thought it would be good to give her a chance to make good for it.

She accepted.

It's better than you'd expect.

She didn't need to be Blodreina to the people of this world.

[jettisons]

And then she disappeared.

[Yes, he is absolutely still stuck on that.]

[strove]

A lot of people have. You included.
