Juliano held his hands up in a large shrug and sighed heavily. "There is no possible way for me to show you with anything else but giving you my word. It is the only thing I can offer."

Tink turned back to Juliano and stared intently. "Sorry, but not good enough."

"Then what do you think, Tink? Kill me now?" He winced when he said it, realizing that is exactly what Tink wanted.

"That does sound enticing..."

"You could tell everyone when we get back to avoid the fear of having me snitch. At least then you can realize everyone really doesn't give a fuck one way or another. Being completely honest, though...it's kind of hot." He grinned when he saw Tink blush. "We aren't as heartless, stupid, and untrustworthy as you claim we are. We're all in this together and we are a long way from home. The only way we are all getting home is by working together."
