Albert Wesker. Pharmaceutical Research and Development. This surely won't end poorly.

Perhaps. I don't usually discuss my life with most people, either - you're one of the few exceptions to that.
...Am I really?
[You know, he never quite knows what to do with assertions like that.]
[You know, he never quite knows what to do with assertions like that.]
Well, of course...
[He doesn't seem to know how to finish that, however, and so he just doesn't; surely Jaeger has someone else that he talks to...]
[He doesn't seem to know how to finish that, however, and so he just doesn't; surely Jaeger has someone else that he talks to...]
[Yes and no, really - on the one hand, you're a lot more sociable than he is as a whole.
...On the other, you're you, so.]
I don't know if I'd say I'm taken aback.
...On the other, you're you, so.]
I don't know if I'd say I'm taken aback.
[why this all the time- ]
I thought you had others that you were close to. I know you've explained your reasons for why you don't, but it isn't something that I'd really considered very far, I suppose.

[That...
That gets him to go quiet rather abruptly, and it takes him a moment to realize that he's just kind of stopped walking altogether; he shakes his head as though trying to clear it, but it doesn't get him very far.]
You can't-
[...He cuts himself off, however; he doesn't seem to know where he was going with that.]
...Never mind. Never mind, it's...fine. I'm... It's good that you trust me so much.

[Jaeger stops walking when Wesker does, but he doesn't try to rush him. He looks a little confused by all of that. What just happened in Wesker's head?]
Ja, of course I do. Are you sure you're all right?
[He's sure Wesker will say that he is, but it's worth checking anyway.]
Ja, of course I do. Are you sure you're all right?
[He's sure Wesker will say that he is, but it's worth checking anyway.]
[His kneejerk response is to say that everything is fine, but apparently that's the sort of thing that just makes Jaeger worry and try harder to press eventually - maybe not right this second, but it's going to come up again and it's better to just get it over with now when he has some control over how it happens - ]
...I will be. Again, my memories haven't been kind.
[...It's somewhat better than straight-out denial, at least.]

[Oh, that's... not quite what he expected, hang on.]
...No matter what's in your memories, I still trust you.
[Maybe that's the sort of thing he shouldn't say when he doesn't know what's been in all of Wesker's memories, but it's out there anyway and he does trust Wesker.]

[...all right, listen, just- ]
The past few things I've remembered have involved treating people who decide to trust me very badly. To put it gently.
[That. That is the problem he's having right now, he'll get over it, but the past few memories he's gotten have kind of involved a lot of murder? A lot of murder.]
The circumstances are different, obviously. It's going to be fine. It just...struck me strangely, that's all.

[Oh. Ohhhhh. Well that explains a few things, but...]
Ja, it will be fine. I can't think of a situation where you would stab me in the back and if you ever prove me wrong on that, I'll be furious!
[It's light though, not quite teasing. He really doesn't think it'll be a concern. The other Wesker might have done things like that, but this one won't. He's sure of it.]

[There are a multitude of things that could be said to that - that Jaeger doesn't know any of that for sure, that there was often no reason why he killed or backstabbed anyone as far as he could discern, that he's had the sound of that woman crying out for him stuck in his head for the past two days - but in the end he doesn't say any of it; he just...breathes a bit, and tries to settle, and he focuses on the words rather than on the lack of context that went into voicing them.
It will be fine. He wouldn't do anything like that. He knows.]
...I know you will. And I won't.

Good, I'm glad to hear it.
[He settles a little, just watching Wesker for a bit before speaking up again.]
I really don't think there's any reason to worry. You know how much I hated what happened back in Germany; if I had any reason to think you'd betray me like that, I wouldn't still be here. But you're not like that and I'm not worried about it.

I know. And it's as I've said to you before - I don't want to be anything like the person I'm remembering.
[He'll be fine. Just...give him a moment, he'll...]
...I told you once about the woman I was dating. Excella. She was in love with me, while I saw our arrangement as strictly business. She's been in my memories often lately.
She was the other person I remembered killing.

...Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
[The other Wesker probably didn't care at all about murdering her, but he can absolutely see how that would fuck this Wesker up. Jaeger's not sure what to say to that and it's probably obvious.]
You won't be anything like the person you're getting memories from. I'm sure of it.

["Didn't care at all" is...a little bit of an understatement, honestly.]
It's difficult to say that, given that these are apparently my own memories that I'm receiving. But... Well, it's as we've been saying. There's an element of personal choice in it.
[He shakes his head again; despite the topic of conversation, he does seem to be settling down a good amount.]
...I'll be fine. Again, it's just a bit much to take in all at once. But we're here to get our minds off of things, aren't we?
[Come on, let's keep going.]

[Come on, let's keep going.]
Ja, we are! It shouldn't be hard to do that!
[He's grateful though; Wesker certainly didn't have to tell him any of that. It doesn't tell him everything, but it tells him enough, he thinks.
But anyway, yes! Let's keep wandering around, that's always good for getting your mind off of serious topics like this!]

[It...surprisingly is, actually; there's something about the quietness after-hours and the lights of the city that's relaxing in its own way. The city has always been safe (when it's not under attack by monsters, anyway); he knows that his father liked it because it was so relatively crime-free, and generally there isn't much to worry about, even being out so late.
It's peaceful, while still holding enough things to look at to be distracting; he can see why Jaeger likes it so much.
...That said, he fully expects the man to say something at some point, just because he apparently has issues with being quiet for longer than a few minutes.]

[...One of these days he'll learn to appreciate it. Maybe.]
It is, yes. Moreso than I thought it would be.
