As promised, later Apollo is back in his rooms on board Carrier. He's slept, he's eaten, he's spent time with Jenny and not in that order

The inevitable can't really be avoided. Only delayed. And, as much as John would like to avoid this conversation altogether, he knew it was best to stop trying to find ways out of it.

He hesitated at the door to Apollo's quarters and shuffled his feet anxiously. In the infinite possibilities of reality and space, he saw absolutely no way that this was going to go well. He took a deep breath and knocked.

It was only after he knocked that he realized how odd the gesture was. He used to share a bed with Apollo. Now, he was worried about intruding on the man's space. He sighed and scrubbed at his face with one hand.

This was going to hurt.

"Come in, John."

He stands up, carefully lifting Jenny up and moving her into her bedroom while John comes in.

He still doesn't look quite right. His gaze is still just a touch too dull and unfocused for Apollo, but he does smile when he sees John. "Hi."

"Hey there." He smiled in return and took a seat on the couch. Part of him almost thought he'd be denied entry. But, that wasn't really in Apollo's nature.

"How are you feeling?" He can tell Apollo isn't back to his normal self yet. But, he's looking a little better.

"Like my brain's at war with itself and I can't trust either side." He moves to the drinks cabinet. "Do you want something? Someone kept my scotch stocked while I was gone."
