"I met Rhys through Jim. They're contracted but Rhys is pretty social an I know he's out in the city a lot. Likes ta keep busy. He's amazin though. I've never seen Jim so stable! It's so strange they'd find that kinda happiness in a place like this, but I can't say I'm sorry for it." No, he was eternally grateful and he really hoped somehow when Jim and Rhys left, they could end up together again somewhere, "Maybe I should try ta set somethin up with alla us. You an Albert, me an Jim an Rhys? I mean, if it wouldn't be weird?" He wasn't really adept at all those little social things, but it seemed like a good way to make sure people met each other.

Aw hell! Not only was Obi-Wan blushing, he set McCoy off too! Why did he have to say that? Why did McCoy keep prying? He knew it was probably something like that and then he went and asked it anyway, "Ya know, I think ya do that on purpose. Ya do, don't ya?" His tone was angry, just unsure and questioning. The flirting wasn't bad, he mostly enjoyed it, but Obi-Wan seemed so attached to his Albert. McCoy doubted there was much room left for someone else and he wasn't sure he could do something casual without getting hurt. So he kept trying to be really careful.
