[ this sounds suspiciously like a "you choose your own destiny" kind of talk, which normally he'd have brushed off and thought little of. but for all the reasons jackson has to dislike asgard, arthur's brought one up to counter them.

no one here, except maybe those from home, knows what he'd done. or dreamt he'd done. it doesn't make the fact that if any of it occurred, it was horrible and he'll likely be unable to sleep properly for weeks (not without remembering the kind of blood that soaked his hands, anyways).

but if no one knew about it, maybe that'd give him the chance to keep things under wraps. to make sure nothing like that happens here - even without the possibility of turning into a kanima, something could always go wrong. so he bites the inside of his cheek as he listens and thinks about what the other has said. ]

Maybe. I don't know if Asgard's supposed to do something as nice as that. [ as giving people another chance. he's still got to think about it. when there isn't another person chatting with him perhaps and he can be left alone with his thoughts. after all, jackson's not entirely stupid. just incredibly stubborn, so if any kid of change is to happen, it'll be on his own terms. ]

You didn't say what she did with that kind of information. [ it's left open, so arthur only needs to answer it if he wants. ]
