I sigh miserably. "I've been trying to step back and give you space. Hard enough to be in your position anyway, without all this space pirate stuff on top of everything else. I'm sorry."
I nod, feeling bittersweet pleasure at that. "We don't want you to go. You belong here just as much as the rest of us, and if I could ethically put my foot down as your foster father, I would."
With a sigh, I move forward a little so I can hold him better. "We'll always be your family, whatever you decide. You'll always have a place with us." I pfft at myself, for being so inconsistent. "But don't decide to go. Stay."
