'Just from work.  I know that we are not 'friends.'  But I hoped maybe as a fellow orphan you might talk to me.  You are a hero to a lot of people, but even 'hero's' get lonely!  I know I can't tell you what to do.  Or even if you are willing to listen to me.  But if she is just someone from the office, then would you be ok if this man were sleeping with her?  Would you be ok if she were with someone else?  Would she be ok if she knew that you felt this way about her and didn't tell her?  Trust me when I say unrequited love is just that.  BS!  If she is someone you have affection for and she might share those feelings and you didn't give her or the both of you a chance....how would you feel if she was your destiny and you missed it?  I know I am not your confidante in relationships, but I have some experience with them....a lot of them.  I can help you if you let me?  If she is someone you want to spend time with....I will help you.  If she is just someone from work...."  He looked around.  "Maybe you need to get out more."  He gave his teammate a disarming smile.   "Know that I wish to be your friend Clark, part of being a friend is sometimes offering help, even when it is not asked for.  As brothers in arms....I will be here for you with issues both on and off the battlefield."<br/><br/>Augustus stood there willing to talk or willing to let him go.  He wouldn't push but knew his teammate would need to deal with this one way or another.
