[It was interesting that they could sometimes achieve some version of companionable with each other now and again these days. He supposed that 76 had disarmed him a little in nearly dying, the stupid moron, but he had never intended the younger man to die. He had his own version of what should happen with Jack, and he still stuck to that here, even if he shouldn't as it wouldn't matter in the end, right?
