I get your excited, but calm down already. I don't need you to become my brother. Just keep a cool head and get to work.

Also, finishing an old thread that you and your friend with a different person first? (Color him very disappointed.)

They wouldn't want to be your brother. It's hard work.

She's definitely annoyed with me for even saying that. (Not that he cares that much about it. He looks amused at the "hard work" comment.)

Yeah, I don't know how you manage it.

Twenty-six years of practice. I'm being serious!

By practice you mean getting yourself into trouble constantly? Yes, you have lots of it under your belt. (He is slightly joking about that.)

I was a good kid! And you weren't always around.

[Not that he blames you. Being in the Navy is a big deal.]

You were good...back then. (He will only ever silently admit to himself that there are some days he regrets not being closer, if being around or rather exactly there wasn't always possible.)

No, I wasn't. I did try to make up for it when I could. (Which, according to his memory, wasn't really that often.)

[What can you do when you're 12 years older than he is, Nathan? You were out of the house before he hit grade school.]

You did good, Nathan.

[Except you didn't. At all. :/]

(He would never have a good answer for that question. He just nods and stays silent for a moment.)

(Bluntly) I doubt that. But, it's too late now to do anything.

(No. Not at all. "Good" was never even going to be close to what it actually was. "Misguided" could be the kindest word anyone could ever use for it.)

I uh... Yeah. Yeah but...

[Ugh.]

That makes it bad too. Knowing you're in him too.

(He expecting him to try to argue that. Problem was there would never be a good argument against the truth.)

I never asked for all that to happen. I would have preferred someone use their damn head and not go with that "idea"...

I know you didn't--

[You just...you know...were willing to let him die a few times to further your own career-- It's a wonder he still loves you, Nathan, but he does.]

It's just been kinda hard on everyone.

I normally would say that I'm not surprised, but I have to go with the opposite this time. I know I wasn't exactly "Mr. Popular" at the end...

(That did not cross his mind at first, but when "Mr Popular" comes out of his mouth, he is reminded and well, he isn't sure what to say or do about it. In fact, he's (again) sure that there isn't anything. Sorry doesn't fix everything or even put a dent into it. He just stays quiet.)

[How about a hug? Petrellis are naturally a touchy-feely-weirdly kissy people.]

You're still my brother.

(A hug would be nice. He needs that.)

Yeah. You're still mine.

Hey man, try to remember that sometimes.

Yeah, I know I need to work on that. (He looks a little annoyed, but he realizes that needed to be said.)
