[reconstitution]

I'm aware of your name.

[ If Jim knows them all, then he should too, right? But this is probably one of those things that's better to hear from the person themselves than from what information is supplied elsewhere. ]

Winter.

[lightweight]

[that's so ominous

[hinata tenses up, but he tries not to get too far]

W-Winter... Okay. I-it's nice to meet you officially!!

[oh shit be quiet]

[reconstitution]

Likewise.

[ He nods, still watching Hinata. ]

[lightweight]

[he's gonna bow, here, and try to be respectful.]

So, if I can ask... why are you out here at night? Don't you sleep?

[reconstitution]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Not much, no. Shouldn't you be asleep?

[lightweight]

I can't sleep tonight...

[the look on his face says it's not for lack of trying.]

[reconstitution]

Is there a reason?

[ Winter knows that if he can't sleep, there's at least a reason- either he's too restless or there's something on his mind. Maybe it's the same, but he really doesn't have enough knowledge in that area. He doesn't understand normal people at all. ]

[lightweight]

Ah--uh, it's nothing!!

[it's not nothing, says his reaction.]

I-I mean, I don't want to be a bother...

[reconstitution]

I asked, didn't I?

[ He raises a brow, waiting to see if he'll say anything. ]

[lightweight]

Well... yeah.

[he shuffles a little bit.]

... Is there anybody from home you really miss, Winter?

[reconstitution]

..Sometimes, yes. But I'm probably not the right person to ask.

[ He can't help but wonder about his team or his handler. Fuck, or even Pierce. Winter knows what happens, and that they're not good people, but he can't very well tell that effectively to that dark part of his mind. The one that screams for 'home' and 'team' and 'purpose'. ]

[lightweight]

Why not?

[he doesn't get it; he says he misses people!]

[reconstitution]

They're not the people I should miss. It's complicated.

[ Don't stress yourself over it, Hinata! ]
