[He's digging both heels of his hands into his eyes, fingers curling into his hair and probably looking much younger than his twenty-three years would suggest. It's with that that he mutters:] I'm not the one who can lead us. It can't be me if I keep fucking everything up.
[Elizabeth had once spoken to him nearly a month ago and it's sat heavily with him.
"There are people here that I'm fearful of. I fell for someone's charms, for their lies. I'm not quite sure my feelings on the matter but we need someone that can organize us - I think that person is you."
Jason had later told him that he'd agreed to back him up because Elizabeth had asked. And he knows Adam may have felt the same prior to this argument. Is it possible to lead when he's trying to juggle so many things? That's where he's not sure.
Granted, Adam speaks up and Luke makes a noise that sounds a little like confusion.]
...but what are you talking about? I just told you what I wanted to tell you. Jack's been assigned to hunt aliens since we all woke up here two and a half months ago. He asked me, Jason and Elizabeth to start helping him. Now I'm asking you. There're other things, too, but I don't know if you'll believe it. [Or if Jack will kill him for disclosing them, but if Jack's going to trust then...well, Jack would probably tell him himself, right? Maybe? Fuck.]
