considering you just talked……. i’d say that proves my point :)

Yes, *airquotes* really. 

But even legends could be equals. Ash had no qualms about speaking up to her superiors, but that thought had taken Williams a while to come to terms with. Sometimes, she wonders if it’s because she had finally grown to feel proud of her worth, of her name, or if he had helped push her to.

"I'll scrape together whatever's necessary to keep this ship running. If I've learned anything about fighting this damned war in my mind, it's that I've lost the opportunity to be picking.

Failure after failure had frustrated him, and even his own victories seemed to by more Pyrrhic than purposeful. He felt his fists clenching, and a dull ache thump at the back of his head. If it had not been for his particular brand of company, all that aching might have been so much worse. In knowing this, he shook his head at what he was to say next. These words were to go against the strength he emphasized in himself, but if it meant saving himself an ache worse than a concussive round, he'd say them in an instant.
