[Ford sighs, and pinches his nose. If he were socially smarter, he'd be more careful what he says here. But he's not. He's an idiot who runs his mouth, especially where Bill is concerned, because he's very used to assuming Bill already knows everything.
And Ford, except under very specific pushing-for-his-way-through-sheer-confidence-and-giving-no-one-the-chance-to-argue circumstances, isn't actually that great a liar.
So, whee, honesty hour, let's go.]
I don't know! Ever since I found out how you survived, I was certain that the only way you were getting off this boat was by breaking out! After everything I sacrificed to get rid of you, you still found a way to weasel out of it! And here you are, living it up in the most touchy-feely prison in the whole multiverse, playing the same games with a ship full of people who think that just because they know you're a liar, that means they can handle you! I'm very concerned that this ship can't hold you, and I don't trust it or the Admiral to keep you in check forever!
[He's mad about that -- about all of that. Seriously, fuck you, and fuck you for surviving. But when Ford goes on, his tone changes. Some of the anger goes out of it, and it's more...it's not quite wonder, and it's not even related to hope, but it's something quieter.]
But if it's actually working on you...who knows? I didn't expect that. I certainly didn't think it would happen that quickly. I thought it would take another couple of centuries at least! True, it's not much, and knowing you I'll bet it's kind of... [he makes a wiggly hand gesture here that implies fucked up, twisted, and kind of disgusting] eh, questionable. But it's still lightyears beyond anything I thought was even possible.
I don't know what it means. Maybe it won't mean anything! After all, personal feelings don't always stop you. Sometimes, they don't even slow you down.
[Mmmm he sure knows what that's like. Sometimes all personal feelings do is make you feel worse when it's over. Give him a second to wallow in his own mistakes.]
