[It's a show of trust that Tron is able to turn his back on Rinzler... or perhaps he knows that neither of them is in any condition to be fighting right now. In any case, it's been some time since his double has attacked him without provocation.
Rinzler seems to lock up at the offer of shared energy, however, and Tron isn't going to force it on him. Holding his hand steady, the offer still open, he moves slightly closer. Surely Rinzler knows what he's trying to do?]
You can take some of my energy. Let me help.
[He wonders how long it's been since Rinzler's had a friendly touch from another program, aside from Clu. Certainly not back on the Grid; Tron remembers the fear with which even the other members of Clu's regime regarded him, and none would dare get close. Clu's touch had been both repulsive and desired, a twisted yearning built into his rectified code. Hundreds of cycles of isolation behind the mask, with only the gold-circuited program to provide everything.
Here, though, on the ship, he doesn't know what it's like for this Rinzler. Yori is here now, and she... she's made it clear that she wants to help Rinzler, that her priorities are with him, though Tron doesn't know how much interaction they've had. Tron and Rinzler haven't had any non-violent physical contact since... well, ever.]
