[ One thing he has yet to get used to in his tenure with COST is the downtime.
Not that he didn't have time off back home, it's just that he elected to pass on it. And with running after Cobb to keep him out of the hands of the Feds, he hadn't the luxury to spare even a few days to fuck off to Aruba or something. Before that, it'd been his high key anxieties that kept him from taking off too long, not wanting to stay in one spot overmuch. He likes dreamshare, loves it even, but it's a career that can be cut short fairly easily.
The most common cause of retirement is showing up dead.
Here there's a similar undercurrent of paranoia– the Regency could technically pop up at any point. They're also on an alien planet, with wildlife that may want to come after them. Somehow, the time on base still feels like he can relax in increments.
(Maybe it's because he isn't carrying everything on his shoulders any longer).
Which is why he's currently attempting to slide into Henry's lap in the natural hot springs. It seemed like a good idea. ]

Why didn't we think of this earlier?
