He watches Keith wash off the rest and put his glove back on, then holds his arm back out for the makeshift bandage. What he doesn't expect is how sad Keith looks at the mention of his dad, and immediately his mind is racing to put together what he even knows about Keith's family. He met his mom. He remembers Griffin getting punched in the face for saying Keith got abandoned by his parents, which... is enough to figure out Keith's parents just weren't in the picture at all.
He figures there probably isn't any chance they'll run into Keith's dad somewhere in space.
So all he can think to say is, ] Oh.
[ And how do you come back from that? ] I see. [ There's a stupid quip there about didn't he grow up in the desert and where would there have been any water, but he can't say that anymore. ] Thanks for this.
