Good.

_{[ He keeps his arm around Winn, the training room oddly quiet when they weren't moving around, grunting and heaving as they fought. Or rather, Kirk put Winn through the paces and tried to both give him a less and help him physically work out his feelings. Still, it felt like a good place to talk for them. ]}

And hey - just because I say you should talk to him doesn't mean you can't keep coming to me, you know? I'm not trying to foist you off on someone else. I just think that having more than one person to talk to will be good for you, is all. It gives a few different perspectives on things, you know?

[ when jim brought him here that first time, winn hated this room but now...now he treasures the time they spend here. some days it's the only part of his day he gets to feel like he can 100% be himself and it would be alright. he appreciates jim's hand around him - he leans lightly into the embrace - just as much as he appreciates his words. ]

It'd be a futile effort anyway, can't get rid of a brother.

[ or well, he can, but joking is always easier for winn than expressing how he feels - how scared he is that one day he really will end up being more trouble than he's worth to jim, or how - he likes jim's perspective, he wants to cling to it because jim's perspective is that he's a good worthwhile man and he doesn't want to open himself up to any other ever again, or - that he just sullenly doesn't want to talk to anyone else about this. it already feels like so many people know, he doesn't want to see or feel pity whenever he interacts with someone, he just wants to be normal, to feel normal.

it really would come in handy if he could talk about it, though. express all those concerns, all those feelings. it's a sweet dream, one he doesn't see ever turning into a reality. ]
