[manufactured]

Good. I'll do what I can to make sure nothing happens - to take care of myself as best I can, and make sure no harm comes to me if I can prevent it. I think I can promise you that much again.

[Which is definite improvement over that night he first asked you to stay with him.]

[scythegun]

[Jaeger's grip tightens on Wesker's hand for a moment and he nods.]

I'm happy to hear it. I'll do everything I can to help, of course! But that... That's a promise I really hope you'll keep!

[He sounds sure that Wesker will keep it. Wesker wouldn't promise unless he thought he could keep it, after all.]

[manufactured]

I wouldn't bother making it if I didn't intend to, anyway.

[scythegun]

I know. If you weren't absolutely positive, you wouldn't have said it in the first place. It's really nice to hear though, so thank you!

[manufactured]

[Again, that gets a quiet assenting noise out of him, though he doesn't leave it at that this time.]

Has it been troubling you?

[Maybe not all the time, but on some level, he thinks it may have, particularly in combination with the network post from several days ago - after all, you're doing the..."confirming things a lot" thing again.]

[scythegun]

...It's not something I think about all the time, but...

[He nods, slightly.]

Ja, it's been worrying me. I don't want anything to happen to you, after all.

[manufactured]

[...]

I won't think like that anymore; it isn't something I want.

[It isn't that Jaeger's thoughts on it don't matter, because they do; at the same time...well, Jaeger is always trying to get him to act on what he wants a bit more, as opposed to what he thinks other people want to hear or would consider acceptable.]

[scythegun]

Good. I'm so happy to hear it.

[It's good to hear that it isn't something Wesker wants and Jaeger's smile is genuine.]

Thank you for telling me. I'm pleased I won't have to worry about that anymore!

[manufactured]

[Ah, that's...]

If you ever want anything clarified for you, you can ask me. You know that, right?

[scythegun]

Ja, I know. It wasn't something that was constantly troubling me, if that makes sense? I thought you'd talk to me about it at some point; I certainly wasn't worried about that part, at least.

[manufactured]

...I wanted you to know, once I'd come to a conclusion.

[It's...sort of awkward to elaborate what he's trying to say here, but he's making an attempt.]

I do appreciate you not trying to force answers out of me before I've had time to deliberate and come to a conclusion on my own.

[scythegun]

I wouldn't dream of it. I'm a patient man, you know! I don't mind waiting.

[Well, okay, he tries to be patient but surely that counts for something!!]

[manufactured]

...I know that you try to be patient, anyway.

[wow, wesker.]

[scythegun]

[...]

Was that really necessary?

[THIS EXPRESSION FOREVER, GODDAMN]

[manufactured]

...You've been better at it lately.

[Just saying.]

[scythegun]

Well, I try. It's a bit difficult, you know!

[manufactured]

[...]

I suppose I can see where it might be.

[His patience is kind of ridiculous, um.]

[scythegun]

Not everyone is as gifted as you!

[But that's light and teasing, because of course it is.]

[manufactured]

I'll take it as a compliment.

[He doesn't let go of Jaeger's hand, though he does pull his hand away from his hair after a moment.]

We really should go home.

[scythegun]

Ja, it's late and it's freezing out here! I was joking about getting frostbite before, but it really might be a concern at the rate we're going!

[Not like he's really complaining though? The hair-playing was really nice.]
