Gaeta nods agreement. "She wouldn't be friends with either of us if she didn't trust us to be honest with her," he says. "That's -- more what I meant. That I wouldn't say anything unless she asked, directly, or before you had a chance to tell her yourself."
It'll hurt Tayrey whenever it comes out that one of her friends killed the other, even if it was a necessary act. Gaeta wants to spare her that pain as much as possible.
"And yeah. She does. I, ah, I don't know all the details, but I don't need to." He shrugs, a little. "Just that it's good she has people now."
Truthfully, she doesn't want Tayrey to ever know. She wants to keep this between them, especially when she can still remember how he looked as he died, how his still cooling corpse fell on the floor. The ecstasy of murder, of snatching his life away and tearing into the body, the way her body aches to not have such a rush right now. A need, not a want. But she must pull herself back. Shake off the slavering desires that always claw in her, out of the mess and brine, and come back to him at present. Breathe. Listen to the quiet, Daisy had said.
"Yeah. She's steadfast, and - did you know she flies in space?"
It's a jump, but she's trying to not dwell on the murder, not linger in those memories, lest she feel the urge possess her again.
"I didn't know it was possible in a world without magic, but goes to show what I know."
"I did," he says. "That's how we got to be friends. I was stationed in space, too -- not the same world as her, not even, ah, the same principles of spaceflight as her, as far as I can tell, but. I'm formerly of the battlestar Galactica."

And that Gaeta can count himself among them.
