[She's embarrassed and horrified and more sorry than anyone can know. But she puts on the brave face like a good X-man, and ends up just looking tired.]

Ah'm really gettin' tired of wakin' up in here. Tell me this place gives vacation time.

[Private | Charles]

Thank you. [So much relief and gratitude in those two words.]

[Private | Beatrix]

Ah'm more sorry than Ah can say. Ah understand if ya need ta kick mah ass.

[Private | Kara]

Kara.... Ah'm so sorry.

[Private | Arthas]

That was me. But Ah apologize just the same.

[Private | The Emperor]

Ah'm sorry for what Ah did. Ah couldn't control it. Is yer friend all right?

[Private | Ned]

Tell me he's in Zero and ya destroyed that damn thing.

[Private | Erik, a bit later]

Ah hate ta ask, but... feel like playin' hero for me again? Ah don't think Ah can sleep if Ah'm alone right now.

Good. This is part of the redemption cruise too, you know. People who did worse things by choice are watching 'ow we 'andle this. Learning that it's not because we're weak or soft or incapable that we don't act like this all the time. Learning that we can be forgiven, and forgive ourselves and all.
