That's not what I meant. You spoke of it once before. If I recall correct it was something about the way you phrased it. It never seemed like there was interest to get yourself home.

He doesn't want to get involved with these people but there is nothing he can do to avoid it. After all something must have prompted him to seek out this conversation with Ion besides the initial topic.]

But then I shouldn't have brought it up at all.

Thank you for what you have done, Leon.
