[ It doesn't bother York that Wash takes a moment to think. The obvious answer is no, he's bothered by it and won't keep it up, but Wash seems to really give the question consideration. So he waits, studying the other man's face. Trying to read what's going on in his head.
Then comes the answer, simple and obvious. It's what he needed to hear.
Is it the truth?
It sounds like it, to York. And for this to work one of them has to have a little trust. So he breathes out and nods, reaching up (slowly this time so Wash can't accuse him of moving too fast and startling him) to clasp Wash's shoulder reassuringly. ]
I know, man. But if it helps, we're gonna be okay.
[ He's still working through a lot, but it's on him now. What's done is done, he needs to focus on who they are now to move forward. ]
