...i'm not going to run off. i don't want to let my other bonded out of my sight.
[ Everything will end eventually, he knows that, but he wants to make the most of what he has right now. It's shaken him to lose two Bonded that he cared about so deeply that he has to wonder if he's cursed. ]
while i'm not turning down the offer, don't expect to see me.
[Their paths always appear to cross at unexpected times. Which in a way isn't altogether surprising given the nature of their relationship. Berserker may accept Ozymandias' extension of friendship, but there will perhaps always be a certain degree of reluctance to that acceptance. (Even if it's a bit lesser than it used to be these days.) And Ozymandias has never seen much sense in pushing beyond what's necessary but especially not at a moment such as this.]
But I'm fairly certain if I don't remind you, a part of you tends to willfully forget. It's an understandable impulse especially at a time like this, but it does not always serve you well.
I'd rather you not make use of the offer but know and remember its existence than need it and be unable to think of it.
[Well, Berserker can't be in too terrible shape if he has it in him to get ornery in Ozymandias' general direction. So, Ozymandias doesn't mind it all too much.]

[ Maybe when he's feeling a little bit better, he'll pay Ozymandias a visit...Or maybe sooner because his sphinx kitten sounds enticing right now. ]

I suppose we shall.
Be well, Berserker.
