❝ ——hey. ❞ already, it feels like an awkward place to start. but where is he supposed to start? they’ve just sealed their fate for the next five years. the people that surround them now, they have to get to know each other. they have to learn to work with them, to live with them, to be around them. monty will do whatever he can to work up his trust with the rest of them ( especially if he’s the one who is going to be feeding them ) but he understands if some are more skeptical. emori is a stranger to him, but that doesn’t mean he wants her to be. so he’s careful, not wanting to overwhelm her as he can only imagine how it feels for someone who has never been to space before, along with all the other struggles they had to get here.
clearing his throat, he raises his hand gently to offer a small way. ❝ i’m . . . monty. i don’t know if murphy told you that ——-❞ or what else he’s told her. he and murphy haven’t always had the best relationship, and not because they’ve truly wronged each other, but because they just have a lot of difference. differences that monty only just recently realized may not be all clear to him. when murphy saved his life the day prior, monty hadn’t expected that —— and it was the first time he realized that he really doesn’t know murphy anymore after he had been away for so long.
it’s a lot. he’s still grieving, still mourning, still stressing, still confused, still hurt, still worried. but he’s also the kind of guy who wants to badly look to a brighter future. he can’t tell how she feels, but he wants her to know that whatever it is, she’s allowed to feel it. that’s something he has tried to accept over the night as they settled into their new home. ❝ do you need anything? ❞ it’s easier to focus on someone else’s needs than his own, especially since he doesn’t know where to start with himself. ❝ i found a bunch of ark-registered clothing. just wanted to make sure everyone took their pick before i found something. ❞
