[wrackful]

[Exhaustion buzzes dimly, resignation a bitter aftertaste. It's a clear sensation that Murphy doesn't want to be doing this, but that somehow, he's ended up feeling it's his best option.]

( I need a ride to the station. Someone who can fly the shuttle. )

[The request is in his tone, even if he doesn't extend a please. And before his teammates can weigh in:]

( It'll be a round trip. Can't miss stage three of the alien crazy death show, can we. )

[The last is absolutely dry as a bone.]

(Did something happen?)

[Yeah, it's definitely easy to pick up on all of that. And that just serves to make him concerned, as well.]

[deployed]

( I have a bad feeling. And the last event rattled him. I just want to be sure he's alright. )

[ Or at the least, has someone with him who will keep an eye out for his well being. Bellamy doubts Murphy wants his company, but he trusts Shiro to watch out for him in his absence. ]

[shiro2hero]

(Got it. I'll get him up there in one piece and keep an eye on him.)

['Got it' in more ways than one, honestly. He understands being rattled by this place and its "events".]

[They're a little too close to a nerve.]

(Want me to let you know when we get up there?)

[deployed]

( Yes. And when you get back, if you could. )

[shiro2hero]

(I can. I will.)

(He'll get there safely. Promise you.)

[deployed]

( Thank you. )

[shiro2hero]

(Any time.)
