[It really is going to take him a long time to settle; when he does speak again it's quiet and off-topic, but at least it's something to say.]

...My phone's battery died at some point; I would have texted you once my memories returned in Bosuma, but that turned out to not be feasible.

[scythegun]

[It's okay, take as long as you need.]

Oh, that makes sense. It's okay, I'm just glad you're home safely.

[manufactured]

...My apologies for worrying you.

[scythegun]

It's okay, you're here now.

[He nuzzles up against Wesker again at that.]

[manufactured]

Of course; you know I wouldn't have done something like this if I'd had any choice in the matter.

[...He'll return the nuzzling, though.]

[scythegun]

I know. I'm not angry or anything. It's just good that you're here now.

[manufactured]

[Being reassured like this is nice, in some way that he hadn't realized he needed; it helps with getting some of the tension to leave him, anyway.]

...It's good of you to be so patient.

[He doesn't know why this is striking him so oddly; maybe because he's spent the last several days with nothing but memories of being expendable.]

[scythegun]

I'll always be patient with you, you don't ever need to worry about that.

[You absolutely aren't expendable now, okay. He'll make sure you know that.]

[manufactured]

[...]

I'm not used to things like this; it feels like something I shouldn't need.

[scythegun]

I think everyone needs something like this from time to time. I know I've certainly needed it before.

[His grip tightens a bit; he's definitely not going anywhere.]

It'll be okay. We can stay like this for as long as you want.

[manufactured]

[That gets him to pause for a moment before he just nods a bit, the gesture tight; he settles a bit more against Jaeger, leaning a bit more thoroughly into his touch. He doesn't mind the blastia any, from the look of it; this is nice, all right.]

We may be here for a while, then.

[scythegun]

[That's good, it's a bit uncomfortable, but he's just happy he can be this close to Wesker.]

That's perfectly fine. I wouldn't dream of leaving you right now.

[manufactured]

[That'll get him to nuzzle up again, anyway.]

I didn't think you would.

[scythegun]

[He'll return that, of course!]

Good! I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea! I'm happiest here with you, and I'll always do what I can to help you.

[manufactured]

...I love you, you know.

[There seems to be a bit more behind it than there has been lately, emotionally speaking; not mucb, but it's still there.]

[scythegun]

[It gets his grip to tighten and he nuzzles Wesker again.]

I know. You're very good about making sure I know! I really couldn't be happier; I love you so much.

[manufactured]

...As long as you know. I don't tend to be as demonstrative as you are about it.

[scythegun]

Well, I think it would be a bit difficult to be as obvious about it as I am... But it certainly is appreciated when you do show it!

[manufactured]

...I try to do that for you.

[It seems as though he should be saying something else regarding it - it's been more difficult for him nowadays to manage anything at all in that regard, he can't remember the last time he felt this way without it being practically dragged out of him. But that seems like something inherently unfair to bring up, something he shouldn't bring up to Jaeger, so for now he just leaves it at that.]

[scythegun]

I know, and you do a good job of it! I really am so happy with you, Albert.

[He's noticed that sometimes Wesker doesn't exactly sound all that enthused, but for now this is nice...]

[manufactured]

...I feel so much better now that I'm with you.

[scythegun]

I'm really glad I can help. It means so much to me...

[manufactured]

Of course you can; you always have.

[scythegun]

I do my best! Sometimes I'm really not sure what will help, but at the very least I can always be here for you.

[manufactured]

Sometimes that's all I need you to do.
