[On one hand, it's Chief, and if he's down, that's Wash's priority.]
[On the other hand, this sounds less like "Chief needs help" and more like "I fucked up please fix it," and he is far less inclined to get involved with the latter.]
Chief does feel bad but he's doing the bs 'I'm fine' thing. I pushed more than I should've, yeah, but right now? I think he's homesick. Misses his people and he doesn't have many people here-
But he's got you. And of course she was involved, man, when is she not involved? That is a codependent mess I am not digging into, I'm still working on mine.
[Ugggggh there are layers to this, and while York has some understanding, he doesn't really speak Chief the same way Wash does (and Wash knows there are still massive holes in his understanding, and he knows more about Chief than anyone here except Cortana). It'd be a difficult conversation anyway, especially if Chief doesn't want to talk, but if Cortana's already mad, it's going to be impossible. Long odds might be Wash's specialty, but even he knows when to pick his battles.]
okay 1 chiefs im fine thing is hard to get through on a good day
2 if hes homesick cortana will help more than i can
3 she already hates me so
4 if shes mad and he doesnt want to talk theres literally nothing i can do
One day I'll figure out what I did to deserve having so many impossible women in my life. One day. Today ain't that day.
[ There's a point where coping meets conditioning and fucks the whole damn process up- and with Chief? He has no fucking idea where that point IS and with Cortana mama bearing over him every hour of the goddamn day it's impossible to figure out. ]
He's never gonna talk to the doc and he'd be helped if he did but he's not gonna and AUGH. Fucking Halsey.
If you think you can help and it'll actually help? Chief. But considering your earlier reasoning I'm gonna haveta agree with you that he's not gonna listen.

I was that guy. No one likes that guy. I don't like having been that guy. You aren't that guy so. You can help maybe?
