Yeah, but if I'm -- and you're not, it gives me an unfair advantage.

[ she'll care about him and he -- he doesn't know what it's like. he hopes he'll never be so far gone, so deeply controlled that he'll stop caring completely but a part of him knows that may be naive - if he's not in control he's not in control. it wouldn't matter how much he cares. ]

Yeah, it would. But I have several unfair advantages too. I know asking you not to worry about this is probably the most pointless of things, but maybe your augment goes off and this happens or maybe you become tiny!Winn and the issues we have completely different issues to deal with. There are so many possibilities in the world. Don't cheat yourself by only thinking of the bad ones.

Don't knock tiny me - tiny me can give you a hell of a headache.

[ he tries to humor her, he really does, but she's right - it's pointless to tell him not to worry about it. him being a kid is worrisome too, before his dad he would've gotten into so much trouble here, running around and poking his nose in everything and being excited about everything. after his dad...he was so messed up for a while there. he doesn't want any of the people who love him now to know him then. ]

[passingthrough]

I would never knock tiny you. Hey... Is there anything I can do to make this better for you?

[winn]

Never say never, it may be the only way to get me to stay still -

[ he tries for a joke, it falls flat in his ears. ]

I don't know. [ honestly. as long as the augment's in his head, he's going to live with this fear. ]

[passingthrough]

Then I will just keep loving you and we'll see how that goes. [She curls up against him and brushes his hair.]

[winn]

I like this plan.

[ he kisses her forehead lightly, and tries to just calm down for now. ]
