[It was partly the unease of that conversation- it's never an easy conversation to have. But also- people from home were a reminder. A reminder of his old life, a reminder of his death.]
[A reminder of all the things he could've had if he hadn't screwed up so badly. Friends, a family, a purpose....who wants to be reminded of all the things they can't have?]
I didn't tell her what happened, but I told her things happened differently for you. I figured if you wanted her to know what happened, you should be the one to say it.
[ he didn't feel as though it was his place to give out details to what happened to Kaneis, especially for something as heavy as his death. no, that's something better left to Kaneis for him to decide.
after a pause, he adds: ] I also told her your new name.

[Or just emotional people. Believe him, it's awkward having to tell people you're dead.]
But...thanks. That makes it a bit easier.

You didn't tell her about my hair too did you? [YOU BETTER NOT HAVE!!]
