[ His type is--well. Trahearne doesn't know what his "type" is, but he knows the commander was, is, and always will be special. Beyond type, even.
As his thoughts consider "type," Beat pulls him back down with more realistic talk. Trahearne leaves the thoughts of his commander behind and instead fills them with Eustace, Phantom, Susato, Beat. ]
I know. [ He shifts in his seat again, feeling less awkward about having his heart exposed now, and gets comfortable. ] Perhaps I have been...ungrateful in the past, but know that your and the other's companionship means a great deal to me. [ He smiles. ] I owe you all a lot.
[Beat is quick to return the smile as well, big enough that it reaches his eyes. Despite what Trahearne says, he shakes his head.]
You don't owe us nothin', yo. I know you'd our backs too if it was anyone a' us.
[Leaning forward, he rests his elbows on his knees as his tone shifts. It's level, which might be a tad unusual for Beat, but his tone is genuine.]
You're a good guy, Nightlight. An' I ain't gonna be lettin' you forget that. Hell, I'll shout it offa rooftop if I gotta! [Does that sound like a joke? Hard to tell with him.]
