Duh! If I didn't know you that well by now, it'd be even weirder, wouldn't it? [Considering the whole mirror thing and all, it's only natural! Or so he figures. He can hardly believe in a time when Yamato had been an unknown to him, even though he remembers that it existed.]

Aaanyway, I'm pretty sure she just meant like, a nap during the day or something... But it'll be fine even if we're on our own. [The trend of continuing to ignore Ivan as she sits Right There...

As for the trial:] The best we can do is keep an ear out and contribute what we can, yeah? And if you don't wanna deal with all of that stuff, just leave it to me. [If he can help Yamato with this one small thing, maybe it'll make up in part for the fact that he's done absolutely nothing for anyone since his arrival.

But those are dark and gloomy thoughts, and that's the last thing Yamato needs right now. He drops his sleeve, leaning over so that his opposite hand can rest atop Yamato's head, patting gently.]

You just gotta keep doing your best for now, okay? Even if it's super tough, you gotta keep living. I know it's sad, but we can do our mourning later. We're still in the middle of a sortie right now, get it? [It's as accurate a comparison as he can come up with, anyway.]
