[ Delta considers, for a moment, sharing the fact that even he has come to find being as isolated as South has made him during their initial time on the rig... lonely, he does not wish to worry Theta and things have since improved somewhat. Especially now that they can talk like this. So he doesn't. ]

S'called growing up never getting to be alone, asshole. God, you're bright.
