[ It's not his, the hate, any more than the murders and the manipulation had been his. But they had. They may not be punishing him for it, but they were his deeds. The feeling is his feeling, buried and forgotten and churned up in a moment, a remnant of a barely gone age.
He doesn't claim it. Doesn't want it. Focuses on Iggy, his answer and his question. ]
Okay. Keeping busy. Nami and Takeshi are keeping an eye on me.
[ Which is for the best, he's more grateful than he knows how to articulate. But if he's honest, there's still... ]
I am, but that's not new. If slightly more unsettling than it might've been six months ago.
[ Dreams as windows has really done a number on his ability to let bad dreams be bad dreams. He has to keep reminding himself that they're isolated here. That there's every chance he's as cut off from that aspect of the multiverse as the rest of it. ]
I'll pass that message along for you gladly. What'd he do?
do you have something to knock you out if they get very bad? and you're not sleeping alone, right?
thanks. oh, nothing, I just like to tease him. it's good for him, you know. you should try it - he makes this face like 'everyone is stupid except me and I'm so confused about it.'
yeah. I know. I can get you whatever you want, should you change your mind.
if he's making grumpy noise he's probably talking to me lol.
no. he bitched me out for my own good and then came to check up on me because he's convinced I'll walk into traffic if left unsupervised, but that's all. (I won't, for the record.)
[ Earnest. Taking him up on it would be the same kind of too easy that stealing what he needs or conjuring it himself would be, but the sentiment is no less meaningful for his reticence to make use of the offer. ]
Me too. But I seem to have graduated from the need for constant supervision by whatever observation metric he's using. You should to be seeing more of him soon if you're back at work.

[ Hahaha, ] I know the one. Dead giveaway that he's talking to someone in his head. You haven't seen much of him lately?
[ It's not - surprising, in hindsight, given how much Stephen's been seeing of him. ]
