[His grip is incredibly tight, when he returns it; he doesn't really understand why this is affecting him so strongly, just...let him try to force himself to relax. It isn't going to work, but he ought to at least put the effort in - ]

...It's fine. I just wasn't expecting it, that's all.

[That likely isn't helping with this whole thing, just.]

I will be fine, it's simply something that's concerned me in the past, it's good to have it confirmed either way.

[He just...shakes his head after that's out there, though; goddamn it, give him a moment. Or several, several might be good.]

[scythegun]

No, I... I think I understand. I haven't been shy about saying that I wouldn't like the person you were, after all. But that doesn't change my opinion on you now and it certainly won't change my opinion in the future, regardless of what happens. You're one of the two most important people in my life, you know!

[And the other one is him, so. He returns that grip on his hand and smiles; the expression isn't forced at all.]

I'm glad I can confirm that for you. It's important to know that.

[manufactured]

It is, yes.

[When he starts to relax it's...slowly, and it seems to be taking him a while, and his grip isn't loosening any; that said, eventually his breathing starts coming more easily and so do the words, though the latter take a bit more time.]

...It's important to me. Hearing that.

[...]

I don't think I had anyone, back then. Even the people I liked... Well, they stop appearing in my memories beyond a certain point. I don't know if I had anyone, in the end.

[scythegun]

[That's... sad, really. Wesker did have people at one time, but...]

For as long as I'm able to, you'll have me. I sincerely hope there never comes a time when I won't be by your side.

[He tightens his grip on Wesker's hand at that, like he'll never let go.]

No matter what happens, I'll do my best to make sure you aren't alone. I always want to be here for you.

[...He appreciates it, and that goes a decent way toward settling him.]

...Likewise. Surely you know that by now.

[scythegun]

I do.

[There's none of the usual over-the-top behavior or smugness, it's just a statement. He's still smiling though.]

And I'm glad to hear it! I wouldn't have it any other way.
