[ Alex is given free reign to wander through various awkward conversation rejoiners with the patience of a very tired saint. It's only that last one, all worries and honest feelings, does anything change. Reach over and shut the display off. Lion's already reached the realization that comes after that concern. Last thing he needs is it playing in stereo.

Downside to the oath is, even with shutting off the receiving end, Alex gets - of all things - a mix of precision and focus. ]

Can't say I'm planning on it. So stop worrying.

[ He's going to have to get used to that, isn't he? The strange feelings he can't pinpoint or understand. What is it? ...He realizes, maybe, comparing notes with Lion will be a good idea. ]

Plans go awry. That's true in every universe. [ Light, breezy. ] ...I'll worry less. Okay? I know you're a capable fighter.

[ It's definitely more the "can't pinpoint" option. If Alex opts to reference against his mental whiteboard later, the only note he'll find posted there is a pane of opaque glass. Giving nothing but reflections of everything else; unyielding. A corner might be cracked.

But the crack gets smoothed over. Not the time or the place, Not Yet, and only one part of his statement gets focused on. ]

Worrying less is all I ask for. Last thing we need is you having a stress-based heart attack.

[ The new mystery to figure out, that of Willard H. Wright himself. Alex could get used to that. ]

Hey, that hasn't got me yet, has it? I've been like...a thousand times more stressed than this.

[ Sad thing is, that's true. ]

[ The eternal question: how many problems can you internalize before people start catching on to your bullshit. The answer is a lot higher than whatever you're thinking.

And he knows it's true, but that's not healthy you idiot. ]

That's not permission for you to try breaking previous records.

[ Alex snorts, rolling his eyes. ]

Wasn't gonna take it that way, I don't like it, you know.
