He wasn't always there, he doesn't know. He should have stopped me.

I still did it. im gonna be sick

[kobes]

He was trying to help. We both were.

It was just me, I'm sure of it. It's okay. I promise it's okay, Tim.

[holyposition]

He did whatever I said, no questions asked. And I told him to burn the chapel down.

It's not. I've never hurt anyone like that before.

[kobes]

And he kept you from hurting anyone else, right? Maybe that's what you needed.

[what koby, with his doubt and his wariness, couldn't give.]

And you still haven't. Because that wasn't you, Tim.

[holyposition]

But he didn't. He stepped away to grab supplies and left me to own devices because I told him to.

[kobes]

He kept YOU safe. That's what I care about. You're back, you're whole, you didn't kill anyone.

[holyposition]

Barely. You're not the only person things got out of control with.

[kobes]

But you didn't hurt anyone. Right? The chapel burned down, but nobody was hurt.

[holyposition]

Not in the chapel, I just rampaged through the rest of the place.

[kobes]

And we're all in one piece still, see? You're back to yourself, nobody else died, I'll be fine.

I'm not mad at you. I want to see you again. I'm on strict orders not to leave our suite, though, and I don't want to give Quentin a heart attack, so you'll have to come here.

[holyposition]

I need you to stop telling me it's okay. It isn't. I'm obviously glad you survived but I almost cracked your skull open.

Is he upset?

[kobes]

Well. I'm tougher than a lot of people here, so if you look at it THAT way...

Not at you. He's worried. Scared. It scared him, seeing me like that.

[holyposition]

Okay. I’ll be over soon. Just give me some time to muster up the courage.

I’m sorry I missed your birthday because I was crazy.

[kobes]

There's no rush. But if anyone gives you a hard time, I'm going to ignore recommendations about bed rest and come give them a piece of my mind.

Oh, it's all right. It was sort of the perfect storm of situations -- Zoro's left, so the crew is a mess.
But I had a nice morning with Quentin. And he got me something.
