[It comes out before he can really think about it but once its said - he knows its the truth. His family is here. His home is here. So much that he loves and cherishes and fights for is here.
She's here.
And yet - and yet he knows he belongs out there, out in the darkness, out in the stars. Its not something he can explain because its so much stronger than just a desire or a dream. It's a grounding knowledge that when he's here, home, on Earth - he's just stealing time until the next time he goes out again. And one day - he doesn't know if he'll come back instead of just continuing going...
He belongs between the stars now. Homesick to get back there...
Pulling in a deep breath, he blinks, looks away from the stars and back down at the woman leaning against him. Gives her a smile.]
I've got good reasons to come back though. I won't be skipping trips back home any time soon.
