"That...price, has already been paid. And- judgement doesn't belong to me. It...wouldn't make me feel any better. Seeing people hurt. Seeing you hurt. I don't want that."
Rodney looked at him worriedly.
"I just...still need more time. B-before I can, face coming back."

"I didn't think it would make you feel better." he said, a little resigned. He didn't know what would ever make Rodney feel better and he'd gone through everything he could think of.
"That's fine though, you have as much time as you could ever want. There's no hurry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here for ever."
Even if it was a for ever of sleeping apart in different houses.
"Take as long as you need."

"You won't be here forever, neither of us will," Rodney said softly, "it's why...I apologize for the wait."
He brought Lawr's hand closer to his chest, and rested his forehead on Lawrence's shoulder, hiding his face.
"But I...guess you've- waited for me before."

Time was the thing he was always most aware of, stalking his thoughts every single day, from the moment he looked in the mirror before putting on his face and doing his hair to when he lay down to sleep, aware of the faint shadows of back pain suppressed by Butch.
"It's fine." he said, because everything was fine, nothing really reached him, just the hollows and shapes of what should have been. Rodney was close by, but still felt far away.
"I'm good at waiting, when it's something I want."
