[Someone's been avoiding the Link since the crystals situation righted itself--even as far as his levels of obnoxiousness go, he was embarrassed at how he acted. To the point of actually avoiding his friends It isn't until now that he's able to show his face to the Haven, losing almost all of that cocky attitude and replacing it with...guilt.]

So.

I'm sorry or whatever. For all of that. Wasn't at my best, yeah?

[Private to Gunmax.]

Do you want your bike back or what?

[Private to Ironhide]

Thanks for...you know. All of that.

[He awkwardly rubs his head, looking down.]

And sorry for what I said about you.

[Private to Kagerou]

Oi, Kagebird, stop avoiding me.

[PJ shuts the feed off, heading to the outside of Solus's temple to wait for Deckerd. It gave him time to think.

About just how little control they have over themselves in this place.]

[That's a lesson Deckard has yet to really learn and integrate. He too has time to think as he makes the drive to Solus's, and he doesn't like it. He arrives and shifts back to robot form, striding up to Power Joe, a hand on his teammate's shoulder.]

Are you all right?

[As soon as that hand drops onto his shoulder, his head hangs slightly, as if ashamed.]

I'm still here, if that means anything.

[That gets a very small grin, one that doesn't quite reach his optics.]

Can I be forgiven for being selfish if I say I'm glad?

Do you want to talk about it or go find something to do and pretend the past few weeks just didn't even happen?

[At this point, he'd be good with either.]
