[ Well, then. Murphy turns back to face him. ]

You can cry on my shoulder if you want. You've done it like a hundred times.

[ He's joking. Or is he? Who can say. ]

[jettisons]

[He scoffs, but it gets his lips to quirk up, at least a little.]

Yeah? And how many times have you cried on mine?

[reproached]

After Emori broke up with me? A thousand, at least.

[jettisons]

She broke up with you?

[Ouch.]

[reproached]

While we were on the Ring, yeah. Actually, you were the only one who was talking to me for a while there. I sort of got exiled.

[ He gives a light shrug. ]

Don't worry. We worked it all out now.

[ Except for the buried resentment that led to her stabbing him! Which he will just not think about. ]

[jettisons]

[Uh-huh. This definitely seems like the whole story.]

Why would we exile you when there were only seven of us up there?

[reproached]

Because I was a waste of oxygen and algae.

[jettisons]

You'd still be wasting oxygen on the other side of the ring.

[Translation: He doesn't buy it.]

[reproached]

They probably would've floated me if you weren't there to stop them.

[jettisons]

I thought I brought Echo along to lighten the load if we had to.

[reproached]

Oh, is that why.

[jettisons]

What's that supposed to mean?

[reproached]

I mean, you two shacked up for a couple years toward the end. Was that not the plan all along?

[jettisons]

[After everything Bellamy's heard in the last twenty-four hours, this shouldn't even phase him, but nope. His face is pure shock.]

We what?

[reproached]

Don't ask me for the details. I didn't watch.

[jettisons]

Thanks for the privacy.

[That couldn't be more sarcastic if he tried.]

Anything else I missed? Did you and Harper get married while I wasn't looking?

[reproached]

Monty would've poisoned me a second time if I tried it.

[jettisons]

What'd you do to deserve it the first time?

[reproached]

He said it was an accident, but you know Monty. The shadiest among us.

[jettisons]

Yeah, that definitely sounds like Monty. [More sarcasm.] How much were you complaining?

[reproached]

Only constantly.

[jettisons]

Then you deserved it.

[reproached]

Ouch.

[jettisons]

[Bellamy smirks. It's what you get, Murphy!]

Looks like you and Clarke managed to survive a night together, too.

[reproached]

Almost didn't.

[ ...He should clarify. ]

Stay, I mean. But she didn't want me to disappear again, so she wouldn't let me leave.
