[ She shifts slightly, hands folded together. So, it's really a no-win situation no matter what the outcome is? He's not guilty, but he's still lost his best friend. He's guilty, he loses his wings and his best friend. Jesse presses her lips together in a frown. These sort of things are the kind of things she's really not any good at. Does she say some sort of half-baked apology? Try to get him to feel better?
Finally, her shoulders sag a little. ]
It's not really the same, but, I get it. I lost my brother as a kid. [ Jesse shrugs it off as if it doesn't bother her. He's a stranger, he doesn't really need to know. It's better if he doesn't. People don't need to know it was her fault. ] I guess the best thing you can do is just move forward in any direction you pick.
[ Even though a lot of his thoughts are focused on the situation he's dealing with, he does notice how her expression changes and how her shoulders sag. If he was feeling more like himself, he'd make some comment about how she actually expressed some feeling then, but he isn't, and maybe that comment would get him in trouble. That, or she'd just leave. Either way. ]
It sucks, doesn't it? I know it's not the same; Goose wasn't my brother, but he was the closest thing I had. [ And he thinks of him that way, but they weren't related, not like actual brothers. ] Maybe I don't want to move anywhere. [ Can't or won't? He's not sure there's much of a difference. ]
[ It would be a fair thing to p oint out, really. Jesse wouldn't call her stoic... just guarded. Like, really guarded. Letting people in really isn't her strong suit, and trusting people hasn't gotten her very far either. She tried once... twice. There's a reason she doesn't stay in one place long. ]
It does. [ Especially when it's your fault. Jesse glances to the side. If only she hadn't let go... ] I'm not someone who really stays in one place long. Maybe I don't know how to. [ That's one thing you're really good at, Jesse. Running away. ] But, is a hot shot pilot someone who really can stay in one place?
