[It's Fine. Everything is fine!! either that or read him a bedtime story!!

Vaguely, he remembers the trust falls and how they had that bit of back and forth there. And even though it's only been a little more than a month, it's like he can still feel the weight of all that time, stacked on his shoulders. A lot's changed since then -- like in the dwindling numbers of the living, and what he's remembered. So because of all that, he can't muster up something as confident as before, but there's still a small smile as he hears it.]

Obstacles, huh... Maybe another time.

But alright, I'm up for it. Can't exactly back down now that you've said it like that.
