[Surprise, Luke Castellan is an asshole who likes to pry fingers into open wounds and pull them apart. (...and being on murder ship sure has made that literal. So that's gross.) There's a harsh huff through his nose because he knows how that sounds, and he knows he has to explain in order to get Adam to chill out. But explaining means things he's not even sure he wants to explain.
Is it worth it? In a way...yeah, it is. He knows he needs people on his side and he knows he can help some people here. That requires a degree of trust, and he just happened to pick someone who's really, really prickly about this sort of thing.]
That's not what I meant. [Weirdly, his own tone is much harsher than usual, albeit slightly panicked, too.] And don't be an idiot. You think I go around telling just about anybody I'm a half-blood? I can count the number of people on this ship that know on one hand.
[With that out of the way, he narrows his eyes and seems to glare at the wall across from him rather than at Adam himself.] Besides. Who said I meant I have more at stake in terms of getting back home? Maybe I'm talking about something else.
