[Well... THAT WAS NOT THE ANSWER HE WAS EXPECTING.]

I'm serious.

Then why did you ask?
You already know my answer.

If your answer is so obvious, maybe you can answer this, then: if you trust me, then why don't you trust me with your mask?

[ ugh, really? ]

Because it's my burden and I need to deal with it, not you or anyone else.

If you're that keen on dealing with it yourself, then airlock it. Do it.

And if you can't, there's no shame in taking help when it's offered, by someone who cares about you.

It seem that you care enough about me to talk to Brendan too.

[GDI Ariadne, stop changing the subject. UGH.]

Brendan and I talk about things sometimes, he's not a bad kid. And he knows I'm friends with you.

That's not what I'm talking about here, Ariadne. Your mask, please. Think about it. It's just a mask. Do you think I would arbitrarily want to destroy something that belonged to you that was harmless?

He's an asshole that seems to think he knows a lot about me. And yes, he even felt the need to share all that he knows with me. So really, I'm only wondering why he knows so much.

He's a lot like I was, at that age. Too smart for his own good, no idea how to direct his skills.

He's just observant, Ariadne.

Look, can I come see you? Are you in your room?

Oh. So you took the only grasp on reality that someone might have on this damn ship and used it to gain information for yourself, not caring how much it might hurt them in the end?

He's an asshole, John, and one of the reasons why I'm doing what I'm doing.

I'm in a crappy mood, John and I'm sorry about that. But if you really feel the need to come over, I'm not going to stop you.

Let me see if I can help, then.

[Normally he'd back off after seeing all that, but at this point, getting rid of her mask is important enough that he's willing to be pushier than usual. So yeah, he makes his way to her room, for the first time in several weeks, and knocks on her door.]

Ariadne?
