[Equal parts embarrassment and never quite knowing how to handle these sorts of things, really--being thanked. He hasn't earned many particularly grateful people in his lifetime, all things considered, so it's a lot of dust to knock off.]
in rapture ? well , as okay as anybody else was down there still cant say im not glad to be shot of the place though a city underwater is a terrible idea
didnt have any trouble down there yourself , did you ?
[it's a slight delay before Jack's own reply comes in, but at length:]
yeah i guess thats true i dont really do staying in one place for too long so kind of easy to forget sometimes , but youre right nowheres really COMPLETELY safe
[But Rapture had certainly ranked a lot higher on the list, and in the grand scheme of things it probably could have been avoided in its entirety if somebody hadn't decided to build it there in the first place...]
[It is indeed behind, though, and nothing's going to change that anytime soon.]
[And so, the topic change is a distracting and moderately welcome thing, all at once.]
pretty great though , gotta say its about time we finally found a way to do it i know im not going to be missing this ship anytime soon

You're welcome, and you helped out a lot.
[But, now she has something else to ask him.]
I didn't see you there, but were you okay in Rapture?

Oh, I don't know. A city underwater isn't that bad of an idea. It's what the people do there that's the problem...
But, yeah, I'm glad to be away from there, too.
[She pauses, unsure...then tells a half-truth because habit.]
A little... At home, I'm used to fighting monsters...but they were people there... I'm hoping they finally found some peace.
[Yep. She feels bad about having to kill people, but they were suffering, right?]
no subject
people arent meant to be under water
id say it just wouldnt be worth the risk but thats just me
but either way yeah three cheers for putting that behind us huh ?
[A half-truth's better than no truth at all! Jack will take what he can get.]
i
do know what you mean there though , yeah
those guys were just humans in the end
cant say i really liked fighting them either
but thats about all we can hope for them in the end i guess
compared to the alternative its probably for the better you know ?
no subject
Yeah, it's behind us...
[Although a part of her wishes she could have done more.]
Yeah, it probably is.
[She pauses long enough to show topic change.]
How are you feeling now that we're going home?
no subject
yeah i guess thats true
i dont really do staying in one place for too long so
kind of easy to forget sometimes , but youre right
nowheres really COMPLETELY safe

No wonder that guy kept away from all of us so much. Although, I wish we had discovered the key a lot sooner.
