Tempting? Maybe...he'd thought maybe it'd get better, once they were dead. Once the Androids were gone, people avenged. Rebuilding was starting, and that was good right? Progress?
Even with the threat of Cell still out there, Trunks had hoped he'd stop feeling hunted and wary. Trying to keep an eye out for others, aware that he had to keep them safe--was the only one who COULD put up any fight against 17 and 18.
"I don't know." He finally said quietly. "I wonder, because I've never known how not to feel."
The hand surprised him for a moment, and his head tilted. "I think Joy recognized it was tense for both of us...she did more than I did." Maybe it was just exhaustion after the last few missions, that had drained them and made them able to open up and trust each other a bit. He did take it after a moment. "I appreciate the trust though, and I don't think you're weak. As long as you don't give up, you're not weak."
