"Stay safe." And he means that, from the moment he says it and well after he's out the door. Though he also knows the only person who would have come after her for Bull is long gone; it still seems a safe, general thing to say.

There's no need to warn her to fly right, and certainly no reason to tell her she will be under the scrutiny of the ship--of Rogers and Lark and probably Alec, if no one else. It would defeat the purpose.

And he could plead with her to be more careful in the future. He nearly does. Because he'd rather have more nights like they'd had, eating and laughing and dancing, giving her things to taste so she can develop favorites--a thing he suspects she's never been able to have before. Quite possibly, just coming here means they'll never have that again.

And worst of all, if it ever did come to Lark demoting her, it would end his friendship with Tommy. He knows that.

He'd do it anyway.
