It's good to worry. But you have to decide at some point whether or not you are devoted to this thing and prepared to live with it if you've chosen wrongly.
[ And it's still not a bad thing to worry, besides. Derrica does plenty of that. ]
I believe in what we've been trying to do. I don't think I'm wrong, but I think I'll be able to live with it if I am, or if we fail.
[A long silence as Edgard takes in what Derrica is saying.]
I admire that. [He does. He's never trusted a blind devotion, (he's seen too much to ever be that way again) but he has never considered a devotion with your eyes open that Derrica is describing. Edgard still isn't sure thats a place he can reach, but he is grateful to Derrica's perspective. Perhaps, there is more to be learned here, after all.]
Thank you. For listening and [stutters a little] taking my concerns seriously. Not many do.

Maybe not. [He then remembers Derrica's stance in the moment.] Does it weigh on you?
no subject
[ Not as much as it should, Derrica realizes. ]
But I believe in what we're doing, and in keeping our people safe if it comes down to it.

[Edgard lets out a long sigh.] I just wish I found it easier to believe in things without worrying about it.

[ It's such a small thing, just a minor conversation in the wake of a mission that hadn't gone as well as it could. ]
Try to get some rest, alright?
no subject
[a small pause.]
You get some rest, too.
