"Be kind of hard to get everyone onboard a cargo ship," he says absently, and then stops for a moment. Just a moment, but enough to be a bit of a stutter in the smooth movement as the shadow that is Bodhi trails the shadow that is Jude toward the spring. Aurora notices, as she often does his little lapses. He doesn't notice her noticing, but the slight nudge from her nose does prod him quickly back to reality.

It'd be cramped, but we'd all fit. There and gone. It doesn't happen often now. He can even consciously think about it without shutting down, but when it surprises him like this... At least it's just a moment from the last mission. Everything after Saw and Jedha he can handle, if not gracefully or easily. Poor Jude doesn't have to be subjected to one of his rare downward spirals, just a blip that could easily be ignored.

"I don't... I don't really think I'm likely to fly again." The tone is much more melancholy, but those are much easier words. Being resigned to the future isn't anything worse than a bit painful. It's not the trap of the past.
