Perhaps he doesn't have the right to be concerned, but he is anyway. Whether Washington likes it or not. Regardless, he looks hurt at the idea that Washington, were he to go back, would likely shortly after die. No, North doesn't like that idea at all.

He wants to ask what 'back to jail' means. Theta wants to know how the AIs died. Maine wants to know if the Meta is still around, how Wash got injured, a lot of things.

Instead he just nods briefly.

"Thank you. We both know you didn't have to tell me any of that. I know you wont' believe it, but I'm more sorry than ever that I failed you, Washington. I hope some day you'll be willing to listen to my side of things. If you do, I'm staying at that place with the obstacle course out front."

Something tells him he shouldn't hold his breath on that one. Beyond just because he didn't want to be like Utah.
