That comment about Winter makes him smile, because it sounds like something the Old Man might have said. "Awyp. Ain't that the truth. Came close once or twice."
Well. Technically he was murdered, back home, and that's how he got to the Nexus in the first place, but that's a little different.
He looks thoughtful, and murmurs, "Y'know, a lot of folks will talk about accepting death being important, and fear, but you don't hear that much about sorrow. I guess pain of any kind is just...real hard."
For a second he looks afraid again, worried he's offended the angel, but as he goes on, he calms, listening. Cricket is nothing if not a good listener, and a quiet observer. "Sounds kinda brave when you put it that way," he tells him. "And kinda like you're livin' partly just to spite Him, too. Hope that ain't the wrong thing to say. I want to understand, a little bit."
