If Roy had been in a better mood, he might have smiled at the apology. That was just like Hughes, to get carried away and raise his voice, only to feel bad the minute the words were out of his mouth. He knew that his friend only got upset because he didn't like the thought of Roy being in an unnecessary amount of danger. He really did worry too much.

He shook his head at Hughes, as if it to tell him it was no big deal. For once, it seemed like he'd stopped their frazzled nerves from dragging them into a pointless fight.

Though it seemed they had managed to scare Hawkeye away, nonetheless. He could understand how awkward it was to be present when two close friends were fighting, and Hughes had mentioned their intention to stay in - that was almost like a direct exclusion.

He did feel bad, but it would only make matters worse if he tried to force her to stay. "Granted," he replied. "Be careful." He knew she would, but it didn't hurt to say it, anyway.

Maybe eventually, he would tell her the truth. She was the one person he might be able to trust with it.
