Misa still flinched when he gave her the cold stare and then his words almost hit her like a freight train. Then he apologized to her and confessed he hadn't been romance minded in a long time. She nodded her head and placed her hand on his shoulder. "That's nothing to be ashamed of either. To tell you the god's honest truth neither have I. I've had some prospects myself but nothing ever came of it. Largely I guess maybe due to my own views of myself. I've spent the better part of the last five years and most of my adult life in the cockpit of a fighter. I took life largely as it came because at the time most of my life was spent in combat. I took what came my way simply because I never knew if my next deployment or combat patrol was my last. In some ways being the CAG onboard the Musashi is a bit of a different beast for me. So it's taking some getting used to." she said to him confessing some of her inner doubts. Hell it was more than likely alcohol itself. "I want to apologize for putting you in that situation." she said offering him her hand. "Friends?" she asked him.
