[He's still observing all of this carefully, head a little dizzy from the alcohol he's consumed already and mostly using Adam as a human shield as he sorts all of the information he's picking up. He watches Jack's hand with interest if only due to the fact it's moving, though he lifts an eyebrow.]
Wait a sec. I'm not entirely clear on what the difference is between what you are and what the Kampff are doing. Is it really just that one was working with the AI and the other wasn't?
[He says nothing about Bull's death because weeks later he still thinks that situation was pretty fucked up. Arumat was his friend, and now Arumat's been in touch since then and it's a reminder he's gone. It was a killing way off base, as Jack said, but at the same time he wonders if they would have been more successful if they were working together. Despite that, his fingers idly drum on Adam's lower ribs as he thinks. Jack being calm helps. It's obvious from Adam's response that he's still more biased toward Dorian than Jack but that's probably where they differ. He doesn't blindly believe everything Jack's said, but he gets it. There's basis there that Luke seems to understand on a different level and it's the only reason he listens to Jack at all. You can be a horrible person but still look out for those you're most loyal to. Of course it makes sense.]
You're pretty petty sometimes, man. [It's mumbled as an afterthought, like he's hardly bothered because Luke himself can be petty. Regardless, he rolls his head a bit before resettling.]
Thing is now the aliens all know we're here, they know who Jack is, and now we have these drone things to deal with. Nobody else has been infected yet but…you know. The giant eyeball bitch made it sound like we're just getting started. [He hums to himself.] We're gonna build and reorganize teams a lot here.
[There's a beat though because Dorian…is mad? Maybe? He's not sure and he bumps his nose into the side of Adam's head as a signal that he should probably address Dorian's words with something intelligent because there sure is a lot going on. However, he pauses when he thinks once more.]
What's the difference between Jack killing Rhys and you and Bull actively planning on killing someone like Arumat solely based on the guess that someone with magical ability might be more susceptible to a possession? [That's. Strangely eloquent for him.] You don't get to talk about scapegoating anybody when you would have gladly done the same to me. Is this really all about the fact that someone acted on a separate agenda that doesn't fit right into your "perfect" way of doing it?
[He's also not mad. He's just…curious, maybe.] And if it doesn't matter anymore, why bring it up now? What're you really after anyway?
