[He does look at her, but he didn't need to, to know how she feels about this. She's doing this because she's a leader, because she's pragmatic in a way that many others are not. It doesn't mean she enjoys it.]

It's all right. I shouldn't have let it go so long that it became your responsibility. It was foolish of me to pretend this wouldn't become necessary.

[This is his problem, first and foremost, and just because he hasn't had an outbreak yet doesn't mean it'll never happen. He's been far removed from stressful situations that might induce one- no dogfights, no battles, nothing more than a bit of practice or a spar. To properly test his limits they'd need to face a real attack, and if that happens, they need ways to prevent him from hurting someone if it all goes wrong.]

Thank you for taking initiative.

It's foolish of you to think it's your burden alone.

[Kaname nods to the still untouched sandwich in his hand. Eat it.]

You know very well it's both of our responsibility, and that it has nothing to do with how things are here. [He's important to her, so of course she's with him on this.]

It's a good ship for you to be on from the looks of it. I hope you'll feel at ease there.

[Or as much as he can.]

[He's not going to address the first bit, opting instead to eat his sandwich so she'll stop fussing. It's been his burden for a long time now, so it's force of habit that keeps him so closed, especially related to the Var issue. It's true that the upper levels of Xaos had been in the know, though, so this is fitting.]

It seems to be my fate that I stay there, so I'll make it work somehow. I have no complaints at the moment.

[Except for maybe the werewolf chap getting way too chummy with his quarters.]
