Don't worry about it.
[ he might've said that to be polite, at one point, but now it feels surprisingly honest. ]
It's - I met my wife. Because of it, and I probably never would have otherwise, so- it's not all terrible.
[ the wedding was fairly recent, space abduction aside. he's still in that phase. ]

You're not from the same place.
[So that doesn't make sense.]

Not technically? It's... I don't know how it works. Him and his crew, they're just stories where I'm from. I don't know if our stories are their reality, because obviously they might deviate, but they're close enough for educated guessing.

Also a good name. [ said with a smile that's easy to hear. ]
Hopefully I'll get to meet her sometime - and maybe she can help towel you off at the jumps from now on. [ when you're a dog, that sounds weird otherwise. AND SHE CAN'T BECAUSE SHE'S GONE HAHAHA sorry ]

Josh,
I need time - nothing happened, so don't worry, but if you don't hear from me for a while, don't worry. I'm all right. Things got a little overwhelming, I need to simplify for a little while.
I'm not going into the ship, so no need to send out a search party, all right?
If there's an emergency, call me.

No offense taken-- of all the crimes I've committed, prostitution has never been one.
[ after a reflective pause and a much smaller sip, neal inhales and gestures with the hand holding the bottle. ] Being a kept man is much more lucrative anyway.
[ the admission is casual, almost wistful. the lean years had their perks, and there was something thrilling and exactly responsibility-free enough about being the perfect man for six months or so and then disappearing with the family silver confident he wouldn't be reported for it. ]

[There's quite a long pause on her end as she mulls that over, because what the fuck.]
That's really fucking weird.
The whole crew.
Anyone else?

Do they know?
[And in questions that make slightly more sense for a security head to be asking,]
Any potential threats?

I'm not going to lock them up just because you said they were dangerous in a story you heard once.
But reputations can still give me something.

Extremely glad to hear that, thank you.
[ but how is being a kept man that much different from being a prostitute, here. give him a second to catch up. josh looks a bit confused, then thoughtful, because he's clearly not making the connection. ]
... kept man? What, does The Man not pay well enough?
[ that's sort of a joke. if neal works for the government, josh is assuming it doesn't pay well enough - particularly if he's an ex-criminal. ]

[That doesn't make her relax, Josh. It makes her roll her eyes.]
That explains all the dick measuring contests.
