ENSYNE, R: I can't even- [sound muffled, speculation: cloth] be a hero in their stupid test, I have to be the asshole who shoots before he asks questions, and kills some guy and gets court-martialed and deserves it.
LATTIMER, R: No. No way. They told you to protect those cadets and you did. He didn't even give you any choice. If they wanted someone more qualified they should have gotten someone that was actually trained to do the job.
ENSYNE, R: Two- [sound muffled, speculation: cloth] out of three isn't great results.
LATTIMER, R: It's better than a lot of people would have done. Some people would have just froze and let them all get killed, you know? Hey... [sound identified: kiss, subgenre; comforting] Hey, come on. You were able to save those other two cadets, right?
ENSYNE, R: I...maybe. It's...
[silence: 7 seconds]
ENSYNE, R: He was six inches from me. I was looking into his eyes.
LATTIMER, R: It's all right, I've got you. Tell me what you need.
ENSYNE, R: I... [sound muffled, speculation: cloth] I don't want to ask for something you don't want.
[silence: 52 seconds]
ENSYNE, R: Sorry...
LATTIMER, R: No, it's. I. I've been meaning to talk to you about that, actually.
ENSYNE, R: Um. Oh? [tone: worry]
LATTIMER, R: Yeah. You um. You're kind of amazing, you know that?
ENSYNE, R: Um. You really think so?
LATTIMER, R: Yeah. You have like, infinite reserves of patience. Not a lot of other people would have been okay with my inhibitions, you know? They'd have tried to pressure me, or just not bothered at all, right? But you, you've just been waiting for me to get there on my own even if there was a chance I never would, with you, I mean.
And I um. I think, I think I'm there.
ENSYNE, R: Um. Really?
LATTIMER, R: Well, I said I wanted it to be with someone special, right? I can't think of anyone more special than you, you know?
At our house on Bajor, it is very possible I'll try to make you get up and walk across an entire room just to hand me something that is three inches out of arm's length just because I am too lazy to lean over a little more to get it.
I have done this to people before. You never should have told me that you're helpful.
But I cannot retaliate properly! I don't wear shoes! (Well, I mean, I wear them if I have to go places, but not around the house or if I'm just wandering about outside.)

ENSYNE, R: [sound identified: laugh] Okay. Sounds good. C'mere.
