I apologise for using you to hide from Gwen, especially that it meant you had to involve your friends. I can honestly say that it wasn't my intent to cause harm, but if you feel or felt resentment then I honestly am sorry. I hope that the situation didn't affect your friendships with either of them.
Everyone always expects me to have brilliant tactics, but I'm as human as they come, I'm afraid. And I was straight with Gwen but I think that she thought I would...change my mind about her. If I'd taken time to get to know her better, first, I would have figured out she isn't the sort of woman who does anything casually. That said, I don't think you have to worry about experiencing any trouble from her end. She's stopped whirling around and marching in the opposite direction when she sees me, at least.
(I'm pretty sure that Dawlish fancies Gwen, too - he kept asking me about her. Now that'll be a change, eh? Someone chasing her for once...she'll love it. I even gave him some tips. A new found romance might put her in better spirits, you think?)
Bloody Erebus, I'm so glad you're still speaking to me that I'm not even offended to learn you've got absolutely no designs on me! Don't talk that rubbish about being "out of my league," though, because on my end it's quite the reverse. You're an exceptional person, Rory, and I'm glad that you consider me a friend.

As for what we do now, a drink sounds good.
