RE: Gratitude and Southern Comfort (Jonash and Unna)
In a resigned tone, "It would fall on deaf ears."
Jonash pulls a flask from his jacket, opens it, and starts to take a swig. He catches Unna's gaze, stops drinking, and closes it. Nodding towards the flask, "This is how I smile. I guess I'm as weak as this Demaya, just booze instead of smiles."
(Underneath the self-hatred, Unna senses an odd sense of gratitude.)
Staring at the flask, quietly to himself, "Love is a curse."
Looking up towards Unna again, "I don't know what's worse. Watching a loved one die or knowing you are destined to break each other's hearts."
(Unna senses sadness and relief.)
"So what do you live for then?" After a brief pause, Jonash gets up, "I should get going, the ship ain't gonna fix itself."
