I do now.

[ But before? Before it had been a possibility. ]

I was...

[ This is super weird to talk about, it sounds fake even saying it. ]

...Fifteen, for a while there.

[ How embarrassing. A lot of things could've gone wrong. He wasn't the friendliest or most tactful kid and oh boy does he know. Wash isn't the only one who had some awkward time ripple experiences.

He's glad that wasn't the case, though. It felt pretty terrible to think he'd somehow hurt his friend and couldn't even remember why. He likes having Wash in his life. Yes, he could adjust to doing without, but he's found he really doesn't want to. ]

[unrecovered]

Yeah, but I mean in general. If I'm mad at you, either you'll know it because we'll have just had a fight, or I'll tell you. Other than that, it's probably something else. I tend to get mad a lot.

[It's self-effacing and far more self-aware than Wash usually lets on. He knows he has a temper, and that anger is easier than most other negative emotions, but the point where he starts to inadvertently hurt Chief - who doesn't really have the finer points of social situations ironed out yet - is the point where he needs to retool his self-control and figure out a different way to deal with things.]

[But in the meantime...fifteen again. Yikes.]

Sounds like fun.

[So. Completely. Deadpan.]

[prettycoolguy]

...Thank you.

[ Perhaps that's a weird thing to be reassured by, but he is. It's nice to know if he's overstepped. But back on the other note... ]

Extremely.

[ Equally deadpan. ]

I think I gave Cortana and Taylor heart attacks.

[ Which is impressive, considering one doesn't even have a circulatory system. ]

[unrecovered]

[He nods.]

[...this is a voice message and Chief can't see him. Right.]

No problem.

Usually I'm all for giving York a heart attack, but those were probably not the best circumstances. What did you do?

[prettycoolguy]

Be fifteen. They both jumped on me. Taylor had to pull up his old sergeant credentials, I think Cortana put him up to it.

[ He relates it in an even, unconcerned tone, but Wash knows him well enough to pick up on the fact this is clearly hilarious. The Chief might also be hoping that this is a good subject change, he doesn't want to leave Wash to dwell on bad feelings. ]
