[As someone who would rather be passive aggressive than straight forward, who would rather talk delicate circles around issues than confront them, Heine's honesty was the last thing he was expecting. He was stunned into silence for a few moments, gauging Heine's expression, which was as vulnerable as it was tired.

Now that Heine had laid his cards on the table, Eames should do the same. But after being 'rejected' before, he wasn't sure if he could trust this. If he could trust Heine or himself. But Heine wasn't entirely to blame in all of this. Eames hadn't tried either, that much he could admit to himself. Besides, he had only two choices: to accept this for what it was and try or to go back to being miserable.

It wasn't that difficult of a choice. Rubbing his face tiredly, he let out a shuddering sigh.]

I didn't try enough either, so- So this time let's try. I can't promise this won't crash and burn, but at least this time we can say we tried.
