Yeah, I won't.

Same when I went to do a rescue to a horror town: that the Admiral can't bring you back if you die. And, of course, you might lose your tie with the Barge. But it's a low risk.
[And she follows up that text with:]
Yes it is. Because I am not, ever, your punching bag. Or anyones.
I'll think about it, but I'm not too keen on risking leaving empty handed, and we were in a bit of a tight situation back home.
[ He sighed at being chewed out and sank with a little groan, but wouldn't fight her on getting bapped over the head a few times about it. He knew it was deserved, and she'd forgiven...a lot of other things. ]
I know. I'm not gonna snap at you again OR be a jerk. I felt like an asshole as soon as I saw it was you. And yeah, you deserve better than that.

[ Would anyone be surprised that Reno wouldn't feel bad if he'd made someone that wasn't in his circle upset? ]
I'm still sorry for snapping at you. I wanted to give you a bit to cool off and check on you and apologize.
It's not a big deal being apart, but it's been a couple months now. I've got no idea how he's doing, and I can't talk to him.
I just miss him.

If you want to do that, it might not be a bad idea. But it's risky, even if you've come on board alive.
But Reno?
Don't snap at me like that, ever again.

Are we still up for the pizza and movie night? :(

[Which made sense.]
Thank you Reno. If you feel stressed out, we can try to work it out before you explode, okay?
We're still up to pizza and movie night. But maybe we should look for soda, not wine or anything.
