Okay.

[Because he trusts her, he does, even if she might still tell him that he shouldn't. But he doesn't trust these courts, what they tell people, the lengths they'll go to to make them fight.]

If you need any help, just say the word. I'm sure Sam wouldn't mind seeing you again so soon.

[If he was slightly more of a shit, he might even make kissy smoochy sounds.]

Wilson?

[ Something sharper in her voice, like an alertness coming to life. Though the huff of a laugh after it says otherwise. Warmer. A little fonder, too. ]

I know you're good at the whole multitasking, but of all the things you should worry about, my love life isn't one of them.

[Or lack thereof. He thinks he's doing okay though. He thinks.]

Yeah?

Don't do anything stupid while I'm out.

[ About himself. About war, and things greater than he is. James, too, and Sam. That's one of the dangerous things about love. You don't have to ask people to follow you down that path. ]

[He smiles a little at that. He's not going to actually promise it, not and risk lying to her. But he also doesn't want to put anyone else in danger by default.]

You be careful too. I'll see you soon.
