[ for josh, not aidan. but josh isn't particularly bothered about it this long after the fact, so: ]
Some vampires were kicking my ass in an alley, he stopped them.
[ that's not the truth of it, either. sure, that happened, and it sort of counts - but the saving his life part was really in what came after. which was far too touchy feely to bother talking to henry about, obviously. ]
[ the sad thing is that they weren't only weak. they'd both been good people, good enough to help a man (or vampire) in need of help. whatever their motives were, they both saved aidan's life, as he saved theirs.
hopefully, aidan wouldn't encourage henry 2.9 to be a killer this time. no, instead, he turns him into a twilight lovechild.]
calling a vampire a superhero is like calling a saint a whore.
[ and this is new territory, because this is discussion that's not strictly about aidan or to serve a specific purpose on the ship. conversation?? is that a thing they do now, jesus christ. there's a slight delay before the next text. ]
Do vampires ever reject their vamp-dads? Moms, whichever.
do you invite your were-parent over for dinner? [ the whole parent-kid thing isn't as much a tradition with the dogs. probably because it's almost always an accident. becoming a vampire takes a choice, even if the victim doesn't get to decide. ] vampire or werewolf- if you don't want it, you don't want it.
[ He can't imagine why not. ]
but it's not just a once-a-month kind of deal. can't hide from it. if we want to survive, we can't reject them.
[ now you and aidan have something else in common: patricide. ]
if i could've stayed, i would have.
[ you wouldn't have wanted to know that version of aidan, josh. he was capable of being the embodiment of everything he hates about vampires. like murdering a tent full of soldiers? henry's got enough decency not to color in the lines with gory details. ]
[ josh doesn't want the details, and he's not going to push for them. he knows enough to guess, and he's not sure why he even bothered asking; he wouldn't want to hear it from someone other than aidan, anyway. ]
Then I'm sorry he left. [ it's not clear if he means back home or here. maybe both. ]
If it's any consolation, you're apparently handling space better than he did.
[ he is so super unhappy about that development, by the way. although really, it's better than the alternative. ]
LMAO no wonder that was so old, i was replying to the wrong one!!

[ what josh doesn't realize is that this is as much a slight toward him, as it is toward himself. ]
so when does josh find out you bit cam eh henry
That's got to be the worst superhero slogan I've ever heard. But yes, basically.
I owe him. I'm sure you're familiar with that concept.
when cam-mun and i talk!! henry doesn't want to admit it to josh...
hopefully, aidan wouldn't encourage henry 2.9 to be a killer this time.
no, instead, he turns him into a twilight lovechild.]calling a vampire a superhero is like calling a saint a whore.
[ terrible jokes 4ever. ]
but it isn't just about owing him, is it?
why on earth not!!
Finally, something we can agree on.
And no, it's not. He's family.
[ there you go, have some touchy feely. you asked for it. ]
because josh is judgy!!
family huh?
[ wow, now he's thinking about how he'll probably never see aidan again so much for touchy feely. ]
i hope that doesn't make you my uncle
no!!
[ also according to bishop josh is the wife, get it right!! ]
You know what I mean. Don't vampires have a weird sire bond thing?
[ the best at inter-species diplomacy, tyvm. ]

Fair enough.

If you could have left, would you?

imagine how long it must've taken aidan to get used to cars. let's not even talk about planes.
HAHAHA
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. ]
