"I'm not doing it on purpose."

Normally, Waver might snap that. This was more thoughtful though, because having to articulate something so nuanced forced him to be careful with his words.

"Think about it from my perspective, for a second," he said, slowly. "I've watched you die. I've dealt with grief, and romantic feelings, and for a while, it was a messy emotional mix to deal with. But you also know everything you just articulated. And that's a comfort, that helps get through the worst of it, and you can essentially deal with everything now that you've had time."

"Then, rift happens, and surprise. You're not dead, but there's a new set of circumstances to adjust to. So before even saying anything, you try to adjust to them, all while keeping in mind past comforts. They still work, and it keeps everything moving along."

Waver let out a breath, and paused to reach into his pocket. He needed a goddamn smoke. Wordlessly he opened his cigarette case, and pulled one out. "Do you follow at all?"
