fifth ( video ) day 65

[gleans]

[ Galen isn't on camera for long, but when he is, he looks like shit; tired, raw, and maybe a little drunk. It's been a terrible week.

He clears his throat, brow furrowing like he's trying to focus, then frowns before speaking: ]

Hey -- if we're apologizing for stuff, I should prob'ly say sorry too. [ He drops his chin on his free hand, leans into his fingers so he can rub at his eyes, and then the view tilts to the ceiling. ] Sorry for all the. Like. Really bad nightmares. Couldn't help it but 's still bullshit. M'sorry.

[ He chews at the edge of his tongue, then -- yeah, that's enough. The feed is cut. ]

[Ghoul's been dreading this since he turned back to normal. It's been eating away at him the entire time and he can only hope that Jesse came back. But he can't just ask that...

He can't just--]

Galen? Galen, don't hang up, just hear me out. What happened-- ... that shit-- I didn't mean-- I mean, I wouldn't. Never woulda--

Look. I don't deserve forgiveness, not lookin' for that shit. Just want you to know how ... how fuckin' sorry I am. Words ain't gonna fix what happened. Not tryin' to excuse what I did. M'so sorry.

[He takes a deep breath, unsure of what else to say. Hallmark doesn't exactly make cards for this kind of thing. Even with Anna reassuring him, he's responsible. He can remember every sickening detail.]

[He's looking at him a bit pensive, mouth in a flat line. The Doctor didn't particularly care for being reminded of the Time War as he traveled with enough guilt from that already. Then the mentionings of his prophecy, cryptic as it may have been.]

It's forgiven.

[Because what else could he do?]

... Squishy? You okay over there? [Because you are drunk. And she is concerned.] Not sure if now is the best time for the mushy apologies all over the network.
