"No," KO frowned slightly, "we started talking about what you're interested in because you started talking about what you're interested in, not because I'd stopped talking about what... happened. With the mission. You started talking about what you had done with training Clancy and what you wanted to get done to fix the damage you took on the previous mission. After that it led onto," he waved his glass, "more about you. And I talked about possibly being dead, for like... a few minutes. Maybe. And I said that I don't...." He had to stop for a moment there to control his voice, it had been threatening to crack. "I didn't enjoy the near death experience. What else can I say about it? Do you want to hear about the pain, the terror, the certainty that that was it?"
KO stopped talking again then, blinked rapidly and swallowed hard. He shouldn't have drunk so much so fast. He felt cold, alone, lost, afraid, tired, and he didn't know what to do with all of it. He didn't even know if he was angry with Lex, with Team Rocket, with the world, with himself.... It was like everything just didn't quite fit anymore. He'd died. He'd been dead. And here was Lex - his friend - threatening to go and leave him to 'brood alone'. He swallowed again and tried to wipe his eyes discreetly, but given Lex was looking right at him he doubted he managed the discreet part.
"Why did you ask me out then?" he asked eventually, his voice quiet and devoid of its usual sparkle or snap. He was tired. He didn't really want to be alone. "You can go if you want to.... but I'd rather you didn't."
