[Duncan is tolerating him because that thing he said about him being Nova's only familiar face here goes both ways. He'd rather have somebody from back home here with him than nobody, even if it's a somebody he can't stand.]
[that being said, he does realize he's being pretty harsh on Nova right now, and while he doesn't feel it's undeserved, he does feel like maybe he needs to extend an actual olive branch rather than just berating Nova into behaving.]
[his expression softens a bit, and the edge goes out of his voice.] For what it's worth, I am sorry about everything that happened to you.
