I honestly don't even think that's possible. Unless I choke on it, but- [ that would be pathetic and also just kidding, not discussing that possibility with derek.
sass aside, he does appreciate the concern - even if it's more for the ship and derek's pr than josh, specifically. enough so that he reins in the jokes for an honest reponse. ]
I'll call you if I need to.

[ he should probably be polite and not pry, but it's already been established that he only manages that in extreme circumstances. ]
Do you have them where you're from?
[ he's used to threats - from vampires and other wolves, mostly - but hunters aren't something he ever encountered back home. ]

[ OH YEAH, that totally encourages the optimism theme. ]
Pretty broad spectrum of possibilities there, though I don't know how close we rank to complete and utter innhilation. But i'm glad to know that at least somebody's setting their expectations high.
The question is, whether or not it's a shopping mall we'll even want to go in to.

it's one benefit of being younger [ goodbyes are not something henry likes to talk about. ]
imagine how long it must've taken aidan to get used to cars. let's not even talk about planes.

You're either in the game or a mark.
[ neal's shrug is apologetic, but matter of fact. ] It's a sort of us and them, sheep and wolves mentality. You can lie to another con, but treating them like a mark will make things difficult.
[ after a moment. ]
It's your face-- too open. You didn't mean the drug stash, you were going to say something else and corrected at the last second.
[ he's not so much asking for the truth as announcing he's aware of the lie. ]

[ that earns a serious grin, just shy of actually laughing, but it's a weird mix of nonchalant and bitter. sheep and wolves, great word choice. ]
You're right. I didn't mean the drug stash.
[ josh is great at lies that skirt the truth, lies of omission - not so much direct ones. most people don't pay any attention to him back home, but there's no question anyone who did take interest would figure out what was up within a month or less.
he should probably just divert the conversation entirely, and if he hadn't spent over half a year on this ship, he probably would - but the truth is that it's getting increasingly difficult to bother being paranoid about what he is. space is great for perspective, apparently. or possibly awful?? ]
I was going to say rump roast.
[ he offers it up without hesitation, and it's half a challenge. it's such a stupid truth and such a stupid thing to lie about, given how obscure the connection is to the wolf issue - he's tempted to see if neal thinks he's bullshitting. ]

Not so sure it was a technophobia problem. [ definitely dietary. ]
Thanks, by the way. For keeping your word. Even if you are just doing it to avoid a date with an airlock.
[ lbr, even with his slip ups henry's track record in space probably beats aidan's lately, in space or in boston. ]

[Why does it need clarifying though.]
You said about him before he arrived.
Knew who he was.
You're not from the same place.
Did you know he was coming?

[ but wait head of SEC, probably a good idea to not be a complete ass. ]
No, I didn't know he was coming. It was just a very badly timed joke. [ and although he'd like to just say star trek, he knows pop culture's different for most people here, so- ] He's kind of famous where I'm from.
