[Luther's had a lot of stuff to think about after port ended, and he's spent a lot of time holed up in his room not interacting with anyone else, which... isn't really saying much, but he's still less around than he usually might be.]

How far did you get in school, before you came here?

[He's not sure he really wants to talk about this with anyone, but he still wants to know, maybe get an idea of what other people were planning on doing when they got back. If they ever did. If he ever did, or if he even wanted to.]

[Private to Steph]

[He's been sitting on this one for a long time, because it's a weird thing to feel responsible for something that he knew, really knew wasn't his fault, but he knows he needs to say something, so he ends up sort of blurting it out, almost like he just wants to get it over with.]

Look, I'm sorry about what happened. In port. [Like she wouldn't know what he's talking about, I mean really.]

That wasn't me. I wouldn't- [He cuts himself off quickly, wanting to just say what he has to say and pretend like none of this had ever happened.] I'm sorry.

I know. I mean, it's happened to me before. I know how that goes. [ Falling off, losing your memories... Not that she could say for sure whether he would have done it anyway, but at least she knows she can't blame him for everything that happened. ]

I'd, uh, maybe avoid Kon for a while though. He was pretty pissed when he found out.

[He chokes on a laugh.] Thanks for the tip.

At least I told him not to actually throw you over the railing.

I'm in college, by the way. Since you were asking. I dropped out of high school but I got my GED.

Why did you drop out?

Well, I got pregnant. And then I just never re-enrolled.

Oh.

Sorry.

Not your fault. Anyway I got my GED because it's hard to get jobs without one. My mom was the one who thought college would be a good idea.

You didn't?

I didn't see the point. But mom thought it was important, and it's been a long time since I've been able to make her happy, so I gave it a try. It's actually kind of fun, if you can believe it.

That's what I've heard.

What about you? Did you go to school?

Yeah. [And for a minute it maybe sounds like he's not going to add anything else, but he does speak up again.] I got kicked out of a Catholic prep school and was going to a military school to finish the rest of senior year.
