[And angering people sometimes accidentally along the way. Just as she goes.]
We were close in there. At least once. I'm sorry for the way that version of myself treated you. It might seem like a thing to write off, but I'm not comfortable doing so. That was still a reflection of who I am.
No--we had different experiences there. Different things shaped us. You have nothing to apologize for.
[ It's all a bit awkward--Clarke is certainly attractive, just not someone that has caught Julian's eye romantically here before. She's someone that's an ally, a friend.
Not to mention, he still doesn't feel like he can equate himself to Aerie!Julian Bashir. There are key things in his life that the other Julian never experienced, that shaped who he is. No, they're different people for all intents and purposes. ]
We did. I hoped you at least had some familiarity compared to what you have normally. I think we could all use that right now.
[Which feels important to say. Clarke feels that their alternate selves are just as much them, even if it reveals some uncomfortable truths. But she also knows that that isn't true of everyone. That not everyone feels as if they learned something about themselves, or even wants to see that life for something that they could've influenced.
So she doesn't push it, not right now.]
I'll let you know, though. I do think you're where we need you to be right now.

I'm managing. [ Not very well, but it's fine if Clarke doesn't know that. ]
How about you? Are you well?
