[And just like that his hands are slipping into the pockets of his shorts. He's closing himself off subtly, though he's not backing off just yet.]

You're doing enough. [Which is true.] You think anybody around here would be calm about somebody else breaking into their room? [There's a sigh, a hand rubbing the back of his head nervously then.] Adam you're the only person on this ship to know everything you know. That's…way more than enough. I don't think this is the time to psychoanalyze me. I've dealt like this on my own for years. What's another couple of weeks…or months?

[He pauses then, curious for a moment.] You wanna know what you can do for me? Promise me you're not gonna bail when things get really ugly. Dunno when that'll be or what'll cause it, but…I don't want to do that again. [Vague, as usual, but he hopes it's enough. He doesn't want to deal by himself when things get to be too overwhelming. Annabeth hadn't come with him. Thalia hadn't come with him. He doesn't want to think about how things will be if he doesn't have anybody else this time around.]
