Wash can tell what he's doing and it's definitely shaky ground.
"Don't." Is it shocking that anyone playing therapist, even a friend, would get annoyance, at bare minimum. All that time, all those little games and interrogations with the Counselor, with no one else for the Counselor or Director to pay attention to.
The difference is Wash trusts North so it's not distrust so much as not wanting sympathy.
It's hard to take it, to cede control and admit how little he'd actually had. And he's not the squad rookie anymore.
Besides, he doesn't really deserve sympathy after the things he's done. With the things he plans to do.
"I chose to be there."
He's not going to be pretend he wanted to be there, but he did choose it.
