The clone opened his mouth, almost like he was about to utter a reply.
But he didn't get a chance to.
Something suddenly clicked. The rifle wasn't being pointed at both of them. It was just being pointed at Nova. He was reluctant to let go of Bo, but he had to test his theory. Unsteadily getting to his feet, he moved away from Bo.
The tip of the rifle followed him the entire time.
"Bo," Nova whispered, "I think he was trying to protect you."
The clone hesitantly started to lower the rifle, brow drawn together and lips pulled into a tight line. He glanced between the two of them. It seemed like he was looking for answers, but he apparently wasn't getting that far with trying to find them.
"I am," the clone said. "Because it's just a bit worrying seeing Bo being hugged by a wraith."
As he spoke - sounding both tired and exasperated - he gestured at Bo with the tip of his stun rifle. Nova doubted he was going to use it, but it still made him move a little closer to Bo.
The clone went to take a step forward...
...and promptly tripped over his own two feet and went sprawling across the cave's floor. The clone let out a startled yelp, but it didn't little to help him brace for the fall. A few moments later, he was laying right near Bo - muttering a series of swears that Nova would have been shocked to hear the actual Bo say.
