"And what is that supposed to mean?" Snapped out of Tycho before he could stop it. The tone of voice was as foreign to him as it probably would be for Ford to hear it coming from him. He didn't like it and he was immediately sorry for it but he still felt rather hurt. Did his friend think he had cared nothing for his own father as his mother felt inclined to imply every time he was near her lately? All he had been trying to do was cheer her a little. Plus she was mad at him for having had a vision about it despite the fact it had been useless anyway.

But how was Ford to know he was feeling anything besides what he visibly showed? Or that he had shit going on that he didn't really tell anyone? That was his own fault, not Fords. "I'm sorry for snapping, that was unfair to you when you are one of the best friends a person could ask for. But I do have feelings, you know. A lot of them. I just don't like showing them because that tends to make people feel uncomfortable." More like he didn't like being vulnerable but he figured that was the same thing. "Have you ever had hot cocoa with a bit of hot brandy mixed in?"
