[She turns to look at him, and there is a quizzical look on her face, for a moment, why is he apologizing?]
I just wanted to talk to someone. I missed you.
[It's the honest truth. She missed him. She just wanted to talk to someone. It's hard to lose people, especially on board the ship, where there aren't that many people to lose in the first place.]
[She doesn't know what that's hard to believe, except that maybe if she were in Sirius' position, she wouldn't believe it either. So she forgives him that, that suspicion, and nods.]
I told him what I did. But I didn't ask him to talk to you, and he didn't tell me he was going to do it.
[Girls and their girl-friends, protecting each other. Sometimes younger brothers. Sirius doesn't look at Sera, just at her slate, and he keeps walking.
After a few moment's silence, he says:]
I didn't tell anyone, you know.
[Whether that's meant to be a condemnation or just a statement of fact, it's not clear from his tone.]
[His silence for the rest of the trip had gone quite sullen. Stood at the door, he reads the words, his hands shoved in his pockets. He looks away for a few moments, studying the floor, studying nothing.]
I can't stay.
[He doesn't add anything more, anything that would indicate that this is a yes or a no. It's just-- a statement.]
[Don't thank me, but he bites that back, somehow, and just stares at the floor with his hands shoved into his pockets. After a moment, he shrugs.]
Yeah. [And then, insufficiently:] See you.
[He turns like he's going to go, and he trails a ways off, but as slowly as he can manage, lingering. When she starts playing, he'll be there to listen--for a few moments, at least.]

Why don't you talk to your mate the angel? He told me that all of this was his fault, by the way.
no subject
Castiel likes to think I'm faultless, but I know better.
no subject
So, what. He just decided to come and have a chat, all on his own?

I never thought you would.
I never thought-
You deserve better.
no subject
Don't.
[It comes out like a order, short and terse.]

Instead the arrive at the door, and she fiddles with her chalk for a moment.]
If you want to stay and listen, you can. I won't try and have any more of a conversation with you.

Thank you very much for helping me.
