No! [The word's left him before he even fully realizes he's opened his mouth. He sits up a little straighter, turning in his seat to face Jean better.
It's true that ever since Jean gave him the bad news, he's been anxious and mulling over things he shouldn't be mulling over. He hasn't been able to enjoy the little luxuries of Luceti the way he did back when he'd just arrived. He often finds himself staring up at the ceiling when he should be sleeping. Even so, he doesn't regret Jean's arrival at all. He wouldn't regret it, no matter who the bearer of bad news would've been.]
I needed to know anyway. It was really tough to hear, but... I needed to know. [A faint smile tugs at his lips.] I'm just glad to have a friend around to stop me from doing something stupid.
