No. I refuse. I am not going anywhere without Rictor. Or my swords. He will likely do something foolish if I am gone. Again.

...Rictor, not the swords, that is. Besides, there is nothing worth fighting there.

That's a little drastic, don't you think? I can take care of myself.

...Perhaps. But Rahne told me... [Yeah, about that time.]

[Well, crap. Uh...]

You remember the part where Rahne doesn't always tell the truth, yeah?

[And he's a jerk for saying that, but hey, a distraction's a distraction.]

Yes. I asked Jaime as well. He was very embarassed about his duplicate's actions.

[Double crap. He was going to yell at Jaimie for that later.]

Okay, look. Thing were different then. Nothing bad happened when you and Layla were running around Latveria or whatever it was you were doing, right?

That was unintentional. And not permanent.

[And okay, some of this is that he doesn't want to leave you, Julio]

Well, it's not like I knew that at the time.

[He's not too eager to have 'Star go anywhere, either, but he's trying to defend his dignity here.]

[He sighs]

I do not wish to leave you. For my own reasons. But when Rahne told me that... [He has decided that he doesn't like 'worry', as far as feelings go]

It's not like I want you going off anywhere, either. No offense, but sometimes you need supervision. Terry told me about the pirates in Vegas.

[And the bar fight, which was a whole other issue, but that's not the point. The point is, he soooo doesn't want to talk about himself, here.]

[He has the decency to look a little ashamed at that]

I got... carried away.

But you are avoiding the topic.

See? That's what I'm talking about.

[Guiltily, he almost longs for the days when Shatterstar was easier to distract.]

Maybe, but like I said, things were different. I don't know if you being around would have helped or not, but it doesn't really matter. It's not going to happen again.

[And he still feels guilty over not being there when Ric needed him the most. He takes Ric's shoulders - carefully, but firmly.]

Swear it on your honor.

I haven't got much honor, you know.

[But he knows it means something to 'Star, even if it doesn't to him.]

I swear. Wouldn't want you pissed off at me.

['Star brings a hand up to cup one side of Ric's face. His face is a mix of frustration and worry that's not that well hidden.]

You do yourself a disservice - you have plenty of honor.

[It's weird, because he still not used to the whole 'Star + emotions equation. Sometimes it's almost like he's gotten left behind.]

I'll take your word for it, okay?

[It's okay, Ric, you're on the same page as 'Star]

Good. I do not like feeling... worried.

Yeah, pretty sure no one does. So promise me you won't pick fights with any more actors, so I don't have to worry, okay?

I swear it. Even if their swordsmanship is atrocious.

Compared to you, everyone's is atrocious.

Yes, well, there are degrees.
